great job

thank you

you're welcome

I love it I put a different picture in my gallery and I would like your opinion please!

very good one

thank you

wow, she's marvellous!

thanks although i did try using poster paints along with watercolour pencils, this time, to give the hair more depth and darkness

and it gives them more light too. They seem to shine

thank you, i agree this mix does seem to work well together.

May I ask you what colour you use for the skin? I'd like to try portraits with coloured pencils but I don't know what pencils to buy

I use a standard set of watercolour pencils. depending on the skin type i usually start with a light pink, with a touch of orange, then for the shading either a dark brown or aubergine, and slowly build it up.. hope this helps you

Thanks!

your welcome... looking forward to seeing the results

wooowwowow

Thank you very much

I think you should always had colour to your work, it makes it look even better than what it already is in pencil!

thank you, i do enjoy working with pencil more than watercolour or acrylics but occasionally i like the challenge of blending the colours too.
