Day 1 of #30faces30days with @sktchy teacher @margrietaasman_art ✏️ This was a tremendous exercise in balancing graphite & colour in those heavy shadow areas…plus it was difficult to capture the lovely soft way that the hands frame the face. Had to take this one incredible slowly! Always an insightful & lovely lesson from Margriet & a great way to start the new year🖤 #mymuseum #sktchy #mystaedtler #fabercastellpencils #illustration #graphite #graphitedrawing #colouredpencilart #sketchbook #hyperrealisticart #drawing #hyperrealisticdrawing #photorealismdrawing #portraitdrawing #procreate #photorealism #pencilart #pencildrawing #hyperrealismmasters #drawinghands #figurativedrawing

“A White Noise” 〰️ Been playing around with lots of varying conceptual studies of @justyna_neryng recently. This is one of my more controlled, simpler studies. I was reminded of a recurring dream that I used to have as I child where I was seemingly trapped in an infinitely spaced white room. Looking to play more with the feelings of dissociation and presence in this ilk within my figurative work moving forward. Drawn with graphite, coloured pencil & a little pastel on paper. 👇 • @staedtler Mars Micro Mechanicals in H, HB & 2B leads • @dalerrowney1783 Artists Graphic pencils in 8B • @derwentartofficial Procolour Pencils • @panpastel@strathmoreart Heavyweight Mixed Media Paper #hyperrealisticdrawing #beautifulbizarre #figurativedrawing #portraitartist #pencilart #pencil #pencilportrait #colouredpencils #coloredpencil #pastel #graphitedrawing #hyperrealismmasters #portraitdrawing #contemporaryart #thinkingwithpaper #realismdrawing #realismtoday #graphiteart #graphitepencils

What a fantastic way to start July with a lovely feature and cover artwork for @coloredpencilmagazine 👩🏻‍🎨✏️ In the issue I write about my relationship with drawing from childhood to today. It felt like a pretty exposing task, but to see your journey in the macro on paper works so wonderfully to give you a sense of perspective and grounding in the present. Thanks to all of my wonderful family and friends in the art space for being a constant source of support and inspiration! And of course a huge thank you to @coloredpencilmagazine for the lovely honour. You can order the issue in print or digital copy from @coloredpencilmagazine - / 😄 #coloredpencilmagazine #coloredpencil #coloredpencils #colouredpencils #colouredpencil #pencilart #pencildrawing #pencil #drawingart #meettheartist #portraitdrawing #drawportrait #sketching #portraiture #colorpencildrawing #colorpencil #colorpencilart #colorpencilartists

Why not draw this with me?! 💚 ✏️ Coloured pencil on paper ✏️ My new @teachable course, “Draw Dynamic Portraits in Coloured Pencil” is now open for enrolment 🌈 ✨ Find a sneaky discount for followers and subscribers below👇✨ This course is a labour of love. I’ve created it because unfortunately I’ve found so many to be intimidated by coloured pencil portraiture. Capturing an accurate human likeness can feel so difficult in itself. Couple this with aggravating factors such as an unfamiliar medium, the desire to achieve multi-dimensional colour tones or replicate complex compositions, and the process can seem that much more daunting. I’d love to show you how far you can take coloured pencil portraiture with just a few hours and a few basic principles. In this course, I’ll take you though my full approach. I’ll help you develop confidence with your tools and your subject matter. You’ll get: • 5+ hours video content • Full process insight • Self-paced study, start anytime • Personalised pdf/email feedback on your finished work from me • Interactive comment facility for community & general questions • Supplementary PDF materials • Tips on numerous drawing elements including proportion, material techniques & colour theory principles ✏️ The curriculum goes live in stages from June 29 ✏️ To enrol on the course or register for my @teachable school, hit the link in my bio ⬆️ or visit: /p/dynamic-portraits-in-pencil ✨And if you enrol on the course by 11 July you’ll get 30% off with code DYNAMIC30✨ 👍 🌈 Let’s get bold with colour - take a leap and join me! 🌈 *** Thanks to our extraordinary course muse @sawyerw for your powerful inspiration 💚 *** #coloredpencil #colouredpencil #pencilportrait #colouredpencils #coloredpencils #coloredpencilart #coloredpencildrawing #onlineartclass #artcourse #pencilportrait #drawdynamicportraits #colouredpencilart #drawingclass #portraitdrawing
