Back in my Copic comfort zone, today’s Sktchy muse is Alessa’s boyfriend. He was irresistible really because he has such fabulous freckles and anyone who has followed my blog for a while will know that faces with freckles are my favourite ones to draw.
I drew him in my A4 Moleskine sketchbook with Copic multiliners and markers and coloured pencils.
This portrait of Sktchy muse Marie was drawn in a Hannehmühle Nostalgie sketchbook with Polychromos coloured pencils.
This is Cece, painted in a Laloran sketchbook with Zecchi Toscana watercolours and finished with Prismacolor coloured pencils.
I’m still working away at my ballpoint pen practice but those portraits take many hours, so I took some time out today to return to my Copic comfort zone and draw one of my favourite Sktchy muses, Giada.
I drew this in my A4 Moleskine with Copic markers and Prismacolor coloured pencils.
I drew Scout in black and white a few days ago for Inktober. I knew when I drew her that I would add colour at some point to that portrait. So here is that same portrait but with colour added in Procreate. She looks older than she should, which is one of the reasons I don’t often draw children – yes, I’m one of those artists who always manages to age children when I draw or paint them.
I added colour on an iPad Pro with an Apple Pencil in the Procreate app using Lisa Bardot’s gouache brushes and the Procreate luminance brushes.
I don’t often draw children but the photo of Scout which inspired this portrait is so perfect for today’s Inktober theme “enchanted”. I drew this with the technical pen brush in Procreate, which I don’t think I’ve ever used before. I know for sure I’m going to come back and add colour when I have the time
