I bought some new Japanese coloured pencils last week and tried them out today with this portrait of Zoe from the Museum by Sktchy app. They are Irojiten pencils made by Tombow and they’re beautiful to use – so creamy and very blendable. It was very easy to build up beautiful layers of colour with them in this portrait.
I love drawing things. These days I am rarely found without a pen, pencil or stylus in my hands. In my working life I spend a lot of time in meetings and classrooms, reading papers and strategies, so my home life provides a creative antidote to all that! I also have chronic pain, lots of it. I have scoliosis, fibromyalgia and CRPS, so my life is a balancing act, trying to balance work, which make me feel part of the real world, with pain, which is ever present, and art, which soothes my pain.
