This was a really fun piece of artwork to create and I am braced and ready for all the jokes coming my way.

In this post I have completed a piece using the Derwent Chromaflow 150 set, the brand new palette count from Derwent and I completed the art on the Derwent Lightfast paper, a top quality paper.

The artwork in this post was created using the Giotto Stilnovo 50 set of colored pencils in way of helping to demonstrate the pencils potential. I used the Derwent Lightfast paper for this post, ordinarily you would not use such a high quality paper with student grade colored pencils.
I completed this Post Malone Graphite and Charcoal Drawing in an attempt to help demonstrate the Kalour Sketching and Drawing Set I have just reviewed. I have to say I was really happy with the outcome and quite proud, I don’t ordinarily try human portraiture, although I absolutely love the idea of being able to effectively draw portraits.
The artwork in this post was created whilst demonstrating the 100 set of Faber Castell Black Edition Colored Pencils. I originally purchased the 100 set of Faber Castell Black Edition to help show the additional colors over the 50 set of Black Edition, but the review ended up being a comparison video against the Faber Castell Classic Red.

In this post I have provided still images I took throughout the drawing process to help demonstrate a comparison video between the Marco Tribute Master Collection Colored Pencils against the Phoenixcolor Colored Pencils.
The artwork in this post was created using the brand new product from Arrtx, the Arrtx 48 set of Soft Pastels. the artwork was completed on a dove grey Clairefontaine Pastelmat paper. Throughout the review I also demonstrate the soft pastels from Arrtx on other pastel surfaces.
The artwork in this post was created using a series of traditional watercolors, however, the reason I am showcasing it is to help demonstrate my review of the Derwent Metallic Mixed Media Set that was sent to me by Cult Pens here in the UK.
I tested the Zen Art Supplies watercolors on two different papers, their own professional watercolor paper and also on some high quality Arch Watercolor Block and the results were surprising to say the least.
I completed this piece using mostly COPIC markers, but also some Ohuhu, Sketchmarker and Arrtx markers. The art work was drawn on Strathmore 400 Series Bristol Smooth paper, this is a strong paper with a beautifully smooth surface, allowing for ample blending time. For me personally the Strathmore range of paper is fantastic, the range of different grades of paper is enough to cover any artists needs.
The artwork was completed using COPIC markers and Prismacolor Premier Colored Pencils, the paper that I used was the Hahnemühle Bristol Smooth Paper, a really fantastic choice for those wanting to blend markers and add colored pencil for the detail. I did complete a speed drawing video on my YouTube channel if you would like to watch the artwork come to life, simply click the link and it will take you directly to the video.
For this drawing I used COPIC markers along with Faber Castell Polychromos Colored Pencils and the surface I used was the Strathmore 500 Series Bristol Plate 100% Cotton paper. I find the 500 Series from Strathmore, especially the Bristol Plate, to be the perfect surface for Colored Pencil and Markers. The paper allows the marker to layer without bleeding and feathering all over the place, but then when it comes to applying the colored pencil for detail, the 100% cotton content allows for plenty of layers and seamless blending.
The artwork in this piece was completed using Paul Rubens Pastels and for the very first time in my artistic career I used Hahnemuhle Valour pastel paper. If you would like to know more about the actual pastels on review, the Paul Rubens Pastels, you can check out the links at the bottom of this post and check out the relevant post for you.
The artwork in this post was created using the Prismacolor Premier Markers which I have reviewed this week, if you would like to know more about the markers or watch a short speed drawing of the artwork come to life you can follow the relevant links.
