I have 3 tiers on my Patreon so you can decide which you think is best suited for you!
- Drawing Club - perfect for complete beginners, or anyone who wants to learn different approaches to drawing a variety of subjects, and have something to sit down and draw each month 😊
- Advanced illustration Club - This tier is ideal for any of you who already love illustrating but want to know more about different mediums, learn about techniques and drawing on location, as well as diving into my sketchbooks!
- Children's Book & Professional Practise - This is the ultimate tier for those of you wanting to get into/learn all about Childrens Book illustrating, as well as discovering everything there is to know about running an illustration business!
A little bit about me:
I am a full time illustrator, originally from The Lake District, now following my lifelong dream of living in Cornwall.
I love working with a range of media and materials to bring charm and warmth to my illustrations.
Since graduating, I have been continuously working as a freelance illustrator, designing my own ever expanding range of giftware, and collaborating with a broad range of clients, including books for international publishers, maps for Lake District National Park, and multiple ranges of best selling Christmas Hampers for Lakeland.
I have always been inspired by nature and animals, and loves to work both by hand and digitally to bring her work to life. Living by the sea is a constant source of inspiration for me, as well as opening up my eyes to the issues our oceans face.
When i'm not in the studio, I can be found surfing around the coasts of Cornwall, walking my 2 Border Terriers, hunting for treasures, or hiding in a cosy cafe with a cuppa and a slice of cake!
Becca xx

    Thanks for this video Becca. I love seeing colours swatched because, as you pointed out, the colour charts online and the pen lids can be misleading. Like you, I often buy stuff and wonder why I chose a particular colour, or realise that I already have it! 😄 But you can never have too many art materials! I haven't had any problems with the Jackson's site crashing but I do find it a bit flaky since they changed it. Searches bring up the wrong results or links will be broken. It's just a lot less easy to navigate. Here's hoping they fix it! x

    I just found you, what a lovely test and swatch showing the different mixes. I bought this set but I haven’t opened it yet, as I want to keep the retro labels! Beautiful mixes, perfect for landscape and sea. I looked at your website, I love the energy and expressions in your illustrations, a beautiful mix of colours in your work. I’ve just subd you. I also had difficulty with Jackson’s new website. I used to love browsing it and now I just find it frustrating, and not all their links work. Frequently clicking on an item will take you to a page where it isn’t or just an error page. Prices have increased across the board to help pay for the new website too. They should find a different web designer because this is bad. I did actually email them about the problems. They were very gracious about it.

    Love a good art haul thanks Becca! I too have duplicated a few of my polycromos pencils without realising it but now I have spares which is great!😊 I’ve now started swatching and labelling every paint/marker/pencil I buy in my sketchbook and take it with me when I go to art stores. I double check what I buy against what I own and it’s working well. It took a while to swatch everything but very therapeutic 😇I’m looking forward to seeing more art haul videos although it does make me want to go out and buy them all! 🤣

    And also if you didn't realize you had so many of the colors that you just bought now then clearly you're not just wasting money once you're wasting money twice because not only did not use it the first time or else you would know you own it but now you're just not going to use it the second time either because clearly you didn't like the color originally That's why you didn't know you owned it

    • @beccahallillustration
      @beccahallillustration 16 днів тому

      Never ever a waste - Im a full time illustrator and I use these pens every single day - I buy duplicates of my faves on purpose so I have back ups for when one runs out and i'm mid project, or to have in my drawing on location bag ready to go (which is what I explain in this video). Otherwise its like going food shopping and only buying one can of beans, and one banana and one pint of milk. Ps - im sure we have all been there when you buy a grocery that you actually have already tucked at the back of your cupboard!? Also, I do know what I own but I find remembering ALL the codes very hard as i'm dyslexic and therefore find visuals easier, and I will either find a use for the pen I dont like or gift it to someone who would like it, so it never goes to waste. Anyway, thanks for your comments - have a great day!

  • @alexserra9605

    Confused on the bit about you never knowing if you already own the marker or not until it arrives and you see the color that doesn't make sense very much. The markers are numbered just look and see do you have that marker😮

    • @beccahallillustration
      @beccahallillustration 16 днів тому

      I have a heap of colours of markers, and the colours online look different to how they look in real life. Yes they are numbered, but it would take me so long to go through all the pens before adding one to my basket when I know ill use it anyway even if I have it already!

They keep innovating, and normally a synthetic will do for most things, but occasionally you need the hold and gradual release of natural hair.
