Drawing BB8 From Star Wars With COPIC and Colored Pencils

Harry

For this drawing I used COPIC markers along with Faber Castell Polychromos Colored Pencils and the surface I used was the Strathmore 500 Series Bristol Plate 100% Cotton paper. I find the 500 Series from Strathmore, especially the Bristol Plate, to be the perfect surface for Colored Pencil and Markers. The paper allows the marker to layer without bleeding and feathering all over the place, but then when it comes to applying the colored pencil for detail, the 100% cotton content allows for plenty of layers and seamless blending.

I wanted to make sure that this was just a colored pencil piece and nothing else added such as Marker which would be my usual goto medium with colored pencils. I used Prismacolor Premier and Caran d’Ache Luminance. In theory, it doesn’t really make much sense to use both these pencils along side one an other and that is because one is highly lightfast and the other not so much so financially speaking it doesn’t make sense

I think this period in our lifetimes has been incredibly challenging, COVID-19 or Coronavirus I think has really taken the world by surprise and has also shaped and new world for many people, some for the better and some not so good. When the lockdown was announced I thought that I would be able to get a lot of reviews done and help to keep you guys entertained. However, I have to be honest and tell you all that it has effected me and my family perhaps a lot more than we could have ever imagined.
