I’ve always been decent at art but man your videos have really pushed me to become so much better!! So many valuable tips and never did I expect colored pencils over graphite!! Never seen it done that way but it looks stunning! I thought it would look muddy but it looks soft and warm with great coloring

I was just using my mother's Eberhard Faber Mongol water soluble pencils from her college days in 1931.

[@smoothie77drawingpainting]

Wow they are old, I bet they work well though :)

I remember this one you did in graphite nice to see it with colour. 👍🍁🍁🍁

[@smoothie77drawingpainting]

Thanks Jeff, I'm pleased you like it.

I have the older Derwent..that were round and the the colour of the pencil goes the whole way not the black hexagonal ones…I don’t think the studio ones were available when I got mine about 40 years ago

[@smoothie77drawingpainting]

I have the Derwent artist pencils too which sound like the ones you mention, I think they are same as the studios but with thicker cores.

[@meherenow]

@@smoothie77drawingpainting yes that’s right..great pencils and well manufactured back then..both sets had the same colours I believe but the artist range had more pencils in the largest set..I felt so lucky to own them ..they were a prized possession

[@smoothie77drawingpainting]

@@meherenow You're right the artists range had more pencils, I'm still very fond of my old Derwent's

Jon, this was a lovely drawing to do in graphite, and it definitely been enhanced with the coloured pencils. Is this something you intendng on pursuing in the future?

[@smoothie77drawingpainting]

Thanks Marty, yes I'm hoping to do a bit more coloured pencil work in between all the other projects on Patreon.
