The Making Of Hamish
Here is a drawing I am working on at the moment of a friend's dog called Hamish.
Again, I am using a mixture of Faber Castell and Derwent pastel pencils...sometimes when I do backgrounds, I will use soft pastels but I am not very good at controlling them, especially for detailed work, so Pencils I find to be easy to control and use.
One thing I have found, is that as a medium, Pastels and Pastel Pencils are very forgiving and if you make a mistake (which I do often) then you can just draw right over it which is quite handy.
..I would recommend anyone who likes drawing to have a go with these and I bet you will surprise yourself with the results...even you Kerry, you should give it a bash.
Anyway, when I finally finish Hamish, I will post the completed works for you all to comment on...and I welcome constructive criticism seeing as I am only a beginner.
All the best,
Boshy.
** Note from Kerry:
Gosh, I forgot you were a beginner Boshy! Your work is so good.
I'm looking forward to trying these pencils out. I'll make no promises though, when that'll happen!
