The artwork in this post was created using the Posca Colored Pencils that were kindly sent to me by Posca, or Uni Mitsubishi if you prefer. As you can see I have added my sketch in the list of images, I have gone over the initial sketch quite heavily in order for you to see it properly, however, ordinarily you would draw your sketch as light as possible.
The artwork in this post was created using the Etchr Watercolour 24 set of half pans, I created the painting on Canson Heritage Watercolor paper which I will be doing a review of very soon due to how much I loved the paper and how well it behaved.
The artwork in this piece was created using the Sketchmarker BrushPro Marker by the Ukrainian company Sketchmarker Club. to help demonstrate the markers I created the character Vanellope Von Schweetz from Wreck It Ralph. I also used the Sketchmarker Liner pens, which are fine liners created by Sketchmarker Club to work in conjunction with their markers.

The artwork in this piece was completed using the brand new medium from Faber Castell, the Faber Castell Pitt Graphite Matt Pencils.

The images in this post are of artwork I completed using the Tombow Irojiten Colored Pencils, as you will see in the review of the Irojiten, I tested the pencils on various paper types, however this artwork was completed on the Derwent Lightfast Paper.
The Artwork in this piece is very simple and straight forward, as I reviewed the Castle Arts Pasteltint Colored Pencils I did so as a stand alone set of colored pencils, ordinarily, a set of pastel tone colored pencils are best used in conjunction with a traditional palette.
About a year or so ago, I was looking for ideas to draw something and so I asked my brother, he is 10 years younger than me and when he was a kid Power Rangers were all the rage, so he asked me to draw a Power Ranger. At the time he said to me that the yellow one was his favourite and so I drew that, not recording the process or taking many photos along the way. the drawing turned out so much better than I had expected and so I set out to draw them all for him.
The artwork in this piece was done using the Staedtler Tinted Watercolour Pencils on Strathmore 400 series Watercolor Paper. If you would like to know more about the actual pencils, please check out my written review and YouTube review on how the pencils perform.

The artwork in this post is a result of reviewing the Bruynzeel Colored Pencils. I have a lot of admiration for the Bruynzeel line purely based on past and present reviews, almost every review I have completed has developed favourable results, in line with cost etc.
The artwork in this post has been created using the Phoenixcolor Colored Pencils, which in my opinion are the most beautiful colored pencils in the world. Take the packaging and design of the pencils away, and you are still left with a well balanced, pleasurable colored pencil set to use.
The artwork completed in this page has been created using the Marco Chroma Colored Pencils, the pencils that we have on review. The Marco Chroma colored pencils are really inexpensive pencils and I hope this art piece shows that you don’t need expensive colored pencils to create nice art.
This is really my first proper watercolor tutorial, I have done plenty of Watercolor Pencil reviews and artwork, but lately I have been delving deeper into watercolor pans and tubes so hopefully I will be bringing much more reviews and tutorials to you.
As with the first Power Ranger I drew, this Pink Power Ranger was completed on Strathmore 500 Series Bristol Plate, I love this surface for marker and colored pencil work and with it being 100% cotton, the archival value is excellent.
The artwork carried out in this post was done using the Staedtler Luna Watercolor Pencils on the Hahnemühle Cold Press Collection Watercolor Paper which I will be doing a much more detailed review about in its own right quite soon.
I really enjoyed the outcome of the artwork in this post, I used to love Snoopy or Charlie Brown or whatever you want to call the cartoon, when I was a kid. This wee drawing was done using the Ohuhu Markers, which I know I am quite late to the party when it comes to reviewing the Ohuhu Markers, but I am so glad I did and I guess better late than never.
