Im glad you stop saying your not an artist cause you are an artist.
I can really believe that you consider your best artwork has been done with these. To me, hands down, this set and formulation is top notch, best all around and I'm proud of my choice to stick with one brand for my work and made a real concious decision against the hoarding of supplies. I selected Mijello Mission Gold watercolor,and this pencil set, and all other things are to be donated 😉. Thanks again for your time and work 😃
It's been a while since I've caught up with your reviews Harry so I do hope you're keeping as well as you can. Fantastic review once again and that horse WOW!!! your colouring is extraordinary, I think it's great that you've decided to give live streams another try I'll be keeping an eye out for notification of them.
Very good review--thank-you. And what a treat at the end--the beautiful horse you drew!
Your horse is beautiful. I love these pencils, the set I have was before they added names to them. I love companies that listen to their Customers.
Debbie N. Hi Debbie, I completely agree with you, the amount of companies that I have spoke to over the years, that have changed certain aspects of their product to suit customer feedback is amazing. I think the Art world is really good at listening to feed back.
Do you know if any of the colors changed after they added the names?
Thank you for this this excellent and well thought out review. The horse artwork is so beautiful, you should rightfully be proud.
Annalisa Manderville thank you so much Annalisa I really appreciate your support and kind words.
Thank you for the thorough and thoughtful review. Very appreciated! !
I love your reviews, the details you give us are very important. Your art work is sooooo. Beautiful. Thank you
Beautiful , I keep hearing about these pencils. I’ll have to try them , looks like a nice set
I've never heard of them but they look so super fancy! Hidden gems I say. Lovely review, Harry.
The horse is gorgeous! Thank you very much for such a good review 🤗
Love this review was wondering about these pencils the horse is a beatiful piece of art
Carol Oldridge Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words
Thank you for another review Harry :D
These looks like something worth picking up, if they cross my way. Thank you so much :D
Terrific video!!! I've been wanting to know what these pencils were like.Great review!! Love from Vermont
Rebekah Low thank you so much for your wonderful comment thank you so much
I have this set and I think they're wonderful! Thanks for your great review! From the USA
Kathleen Dunlap Hi Kathleen, I completely agree with you, I just wish that with such a beautiful pencil there was more availability. I hope that someone somewhere starts trying to push them out a bit more. Thank you so much
Love these pencils !! Received them as a gift last Christmas great for the money and great customer service. Another popular brand is the Castle Arts any chance you would be doing a review on these in the near future?? I was interested in their watercolor pencils and wax based pencils which are getting rave reviews
I really enjoyed your review of this brand of these mysterious colored pencils. I live in California and just saw a new 96 color set of this brand and was looking for a recent review about them, and you were it. As of March 29, 2020, on Amazon USA the 96 color set is close to $45.00. After watching, and best of all, listening to your review, I am going back to Amazon and buy them. Hope you keep going with your channels, many of your comments gave me a much needed smile.
Hay Krissy I am so happy that my review was able to help you out, thank you so much for letting me know this, you have made my day.
My goal is for The Art Gear Guide is to provide the most detailed and comprehensive review of art supplies, which is also the reason when I review a product I also complete art work in the form of a speed drawing and still images on my website and the written reviews I add as well. I want to try and provide for people the next best experience after picking up the supply and using it themselves.
Thank you so so much for your wonderful comment and for your amazing support.
I stumbled across these pencils on Amazon and thought I wonder who has done a review on You Tube. Thankfully, Harry has done one. I quick watched your review and put them in my cart too. Off to watch your horse video now. Thanks so much for all your tedious work giving reviews.
Thank you so much!😊
I'm in Ireland, and I got these on Amazon US a few months ago. I can't remember exact price, but certainly less than $30.
I think these are a lot more waxy than Polychromos. I do like them though.
Hello from across the big pond! I love these pencils! You might be interested to learn that these are very similar to the "Sargent Art" Colored Pencils. I actually combined the two sets which also include 72 pencils as well. These are also similar to the Marco Renoir pencils to me as well. Anyway I love all three! Another great review, but I expect no less! Cheers, mate!
CreamintheCoffee Hi there and thank you so much for the heads up. I have the Marco Renoir and have just this second ordered the Sargent Art pencils because I am going to do a comparison video. There is another set of pencils that may be the same as well. I definitely know the Marco Renoir are from the same factory in China as I have already reviewed them and given their cost I like them as well. However I am not 100% they are exactly the same, but I will test them all out.
thank you so much for this!!! it is SO hard to find such a good, thorough review -- that also doesn't cry about them not being polychromos every five seconds. you review them on their own merit, and I really appreciate that.
and your skill! you draw so well, you're amazing!!! thank you again for this video, I'm definitely subscribing ♡♡♡
Wow thank you so very much for your amazing comment, I really don’t deserve such kind words. I just feel that I need to review all manner of art supplies, cheap or expensive, artist grade or kids grade, etc and make sure that I answer all the questions that I want answered about a product. Thank you so very much for your comment and for subscribing, I hope you continue to enjoy my channel and website
@@TheArtGearGuide thank YOU, and it is most definitely deserved 😄😄😄 you're an amazing artist, and the attention to detail is wonderful and well appreciated! I was so happy to stumble across your channel, I'm absolutely blown away.
I don't think I can adequately convey just how frustrating it is trying to find good reviews on products that aren't the market giants because the reviewer constantly talks about how it's NOT those big names and how they wish they could have used it in their demonstration pieces (over and over and OVER, several times in as many minutes). they seem to have forgotten -- or aren't aware -- that not everyone can either afford those luxury supplies or even wants them. there's a difference between comparisons for the sake of using something familiar, and an obviously biased review, you know? it's a huge gripe I have, and as a novice trying to get decent supplies on a very tight budget, it's super discouraging being bombarded with this message that if you can't afford these outrageously expensive "industry standards," you're not "serious" and your work will always be subpar. just let me live lmao
and all the research you put into every single product, bargain or bougie, is very very helpful. oft-times the lesser known brands fall to the way side and consumers can't make informed purchases because we don't know anything about them; like if it doesn't break the bank then it's not worth knowing anything about it, so we're forced to take a chance.
so yes, it is very much deserved! sorry for the rant, but I really believed you're doing a fantastic job, and I look forward to more reviews and videos from you!!
have a wonderful weekend ♡♡♡
Great review as always. These look like the new Cezanne colored pencils at jerry's artarama. The only comed in a 72 set as well and are on sale for $30. I didn't see the link to your website in the description.
Hi Lindsay, thank you so much for checking out the review, I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your feedback. I think there are about 4 versions of this pencil about, the Marco Renoir, Sergeant Art, the set you’ve just mentioned and these. I am going to get hold of the Sergeant Art set as I’ve already reviewed the Marco Renoir and do a really tight comparison video, try and establish if they are the same pencil or just similar. Chances are they are the same pencil.
The link that says Written Review takes you to the written review on my website. I was in so much pain coming to the end of editing etc that rather than resting, I cut corners, I should had indicated which links were for my site, which are for other places. I’ll change that in the description today as I’ve rested and not as bad as I was yesterday.
@@TheArtGearGuide Also there is another copy which is called Nevskaya Palitra Master Klass. I bought marco renoir 24 pack and I'm so sad. Brown tones don't write well. Everybody has the same problem with marcos.
Thank you for your thorough review. Question: since they are oil based how erasable are they & how?
Are these colors in the Schpirerr Farben the same as Rembrandt Lyra pencils? I have the 72 set of Lyra pencils. I don't wish to duplicate the colors.
I quite like these pencils. I ended up with a couple duplicates in my tin but I never bothered following up to see if I could get the pencils I missed.
Renlish hi there and thank you for sharing this with us, that isn’t good however that duplicates where in the tin.
Love the horse.
Thanks for the review. the Horse is beautiful
Hi Harry. Great review. Though you mentioned several times about selection of browns.... I only seen 3 browns though only 2 looked brown.
Dave Milligan So the browns I was referring to were in relation the Horse I was drawing which I mentioned in the video, I tried to take a photo and place it on here but the comments doesn’t accept photos.
There are 9 colours that I used for the horse not including the lavenders, pinks, peaches and blue under tones I used. But with names I give you here check out the swatch on the written review and you will see what I am referring to. It has to be the swatch you reference and not the actual images of the pencils, because the pigment identifiers don’t always match up the actual core pigment.
Dark Brown, Chocolate, Ruby Brown, Brown, Ginger Brown there is 5 that are definitely in the brown family. The other 4 may not be strictly in the Brown family but there are close. Bronze, Burnt Sienna, Sun Kissed and Maple. The Sun Kissed and Maple are more tan, but still in the light brown range.
I hope this clears up the confusion. I should have highlighted it better in the video. Thank you so much for your comment
ok, I understand. Thanks for clearing that up. I am now looking at them on Amazon.ca They look decent.
I love this pencil brand and an oil based formula. Thanks for your review on these. Your art is a fantastic display of just what a colored pencil is capable of doing 🥰
Hi Harry, just thought I'd let you know that these are currently available on Amazon UK 🇬🇧 - any chance of another review?
Hello from the other side of the pond! I was expecting this review with excitement! Now that's out I'm happy, but at the same time very hesitating xD I'm a wannabe drawing artist. I started drawing with graphite pencils last September and after having enough confidence with these, I switched to colored pencils more or less between February and March. At that time you had recently reviewed the Arteza and I was very impressed, so I bought them. I didn't regret it and I still share the opinions you expressed in that review. I love naturalistic drawings, so at the beginning of April I started drawing a little baby goat. The goal was to learn how to draw fur! But with Arteza I can't ... I think they are too soft, so I was looking for a new set of "oil" colored pencils. I don't want to spend too much because I don't call myself an artist, so I was focused on Marco Renoir pencils because the range of colors is wider than Arteza, they don't cost too much and are easily available. Many think that the Schpirerr Farben are identical or even higher quality. I trust your reviews very much and this is what has put me in crisis! xD The SFs are not readily available in Italy and, with the shipping costs, they would cost as much as the Marco Renoir and since they are 72, I can't decide whether it's worth it or not, even reading the reviews written on your blog. I read the comments below this video and your answers and I realized that you want to make a comparative video. So, I can't wait for that comparative video to come out !!! I keep my fingers crossed because it goes out soon !!! Thank you for your always objective, detailed and absolutely useful reviews :) And sorry for the length of this message or if there are errors, but I am italian and English is not my "mother language".
ireikotzu thank so much for reaching out. First of all you never have to apologise for the length of a comment, especially not on my channel, I never stop talking or typing 😂.
About your question, I completely agree that sets such as Arteza and other 72 size sets have a limited palette which can prevent or make it difficult for an artists to draw certain genres.
If you are planning of getting into a specific genre of art, for example, wild life or pet portraiture, this set I have reviewed would accompany your Arteza very well indeed.
However there is another set that are inexpensive, I think you would have more luck getting them in Italy and you can buy them open stock. The brand is Koh-I-Noor. Polycolor range. Check out my review bit.ly/2izhPX7 it is one of my earlier reviews so if you watch the video review the video quality and sound isn’t all that good but I will be re doing that review at a later date. I don’t have new information or anything like that I just want to improve the quality for viewers.
But the Polycolor are an excellent set of pencils, they have a 72 set, but they also have a 24 Landscape Set, 24 Portrait Set, 12 Brown only Set and 12 Grey only Set. I think in totally there is 144 polycolor pencils but I’d have to double check that number so don’t quote me until I have verified it but you will see it on my review.
As for the Marco Renoir, again a really nice pencil and they have 100 set, a better Color range but I have yet to test them against the SChpirerr Farben but as soon as I have I will let you know. I hope this has helped you a bit
I'm not a professional artist by any means, but I do have these as well as the Marco Renoir and Raffine. To me, these have a very different feel. The Renoirs are creamy as are the SF, but I can lay color down easier with the Farbens,. They are very vibrant.
Hi Kirsty, I think you have the eye to be a reviewer, what you have explained is exactly what I have experienced. I haven’t got the Raffine, but I am testing the Farben against the Sargent, Renoir and I have ordered another set of pencil that people have said are the same as the Farben only rebranded so that I can do a comparison video. Excellent comment Kirsty and thank you so much for your support.
@@TheArtGearGuide Thank you for the kind comment!
Hi Harry
Which do you prefer the Schpirer Farben or Arteza Expert?
Love the review 👍
As for pronouncing the name, think of how people say Shearer, then add in a 'p' just after the 'Sh' 😊
I just got the 96 count set on Amazon for $50. They are beautiful.
Thanks for the great review! They are not available in Canada either so I had to order mine from the American Amazon and they arrive today! ☺️
How much was shipping to Canada?
I have a 96 set. Maybe it is a new addition? It also has the writing in German, rather than in English.
Hi Carrie you are absolutely right, not long after I completed this review they came out with the 96 set. I really like the pencils and would love to get the 96 set one day. Thank you so much for your comment Carrie really appreciate it, thank you
Muito Bom! 👏Pena que no Brasil não tem.✍️😩
Having logged onto Amazon in the UK we are told there are no sellers that can supply these pencils. Yet Tania mentions Amazon. Strange they can’t supply them!!!!
Is she not referring to Amazon US and where does she mention Amazon? Is it on the website?
I do find it strange that they haven’t replied to any of my emails after they replied and agreed to the first email I sent them. As I mentioned in the review, a while ago they had to publish an announcement on their site and social media platforms that they had sold out of stock and more would be available soon, which was the case.
I hope that is all that has happened this time because they are really are a lovely pencil and a product I would love to see more widely available.
Thank you so much for your support and comment.
Hi Harry, I was wondering if you were ok, because I’d not seen any videos of yours for a while.
Hello, first of all, thank you for your amazing channel!
I live in belgium and would like to buy some affordable quality Prismacolor alternalives. I came across Schpirerr Farben , Star Joy Gold, a type of Derwent. Any of these of an other brand you would recomment?
I already have the Albrecht Durer’s which I use both wet and dry, but I want to expand my collection with some type of pencils simular to the Prismacolor’s. Thank you for your ideas!
I think in Belgium you would have a problem buying Bruynzeel and they sell some beautiful pencils. The Bruynzeel Expression are a gorgeous pencil, in terms of core, it is medium to soft and heavily pigmented, I have a review of them on my channel. If you think of Prismacolor core as extra soft, the Expression are mid to soft. The Lyra Rembrandt Polycolor and Koh-I-Noor Polycolor are two beautiful pencils as well. Again, unfortunately not as soft as Prismacolor, but both pencils have a good color range and pencils can be purchased open stock. Finally the Derwent Chromaflow is Derwents equivalent to Prismacolor, not quite as soft, but heavily pigmented and unfortunately similar breakage issues to the Prismacolor, but there is no escaping that, this is part and parcel of a soft cored pencil, the core is just incredibly delicate.
I’ve just returned home for a day out with my wife, let me take a look in my note book, my art supply bible and I will get back to you if I can think of others.
By the way, the Schpirerr Farben now come in a set of 100.
Thank you so much for your kind comment and especially for your support it means the world to me.
@@TheArtGearGuide thank you so much for your respons! I read and saw your reviews on the Bruynzeel pencils. I can get hold of them, as well of the other brands you mentioned above. I understand this is the brand you would recomment?
I am sort in doubt between the Bruynzeel Design and the Bruynzeel Expression. I thought the first is more similar to the Prismacolors and are of a higher quality?
I am looking forward to your advice. Please take your time.
For context, I much much prefer oil dominant pencils to wax dominant ones. I own Polychromos and of course they're great. But I 10000% use and love these more than my polys. I absolutely just love these pencils. For me and the way I use pencils and the art I do, they work the best for me. They layer sooo well. I do lots of light layers and that is the best way to bring out the beauty of these pencils. They are just wonderful. Iove the way they look and feel. I look forward to opening the tin to use them. I personally have never felt like I needed a color that I didn't have. If I could choose one oil dominant set, it might honestly be this one. They hold SUCH a sharp point for so long. The shades are gorgeous. They just work for me. The quality for the price is phenomenal. It felt almost wrong lol. You can buy them open stock on etsy. I just couldn't ask for more in a pencil. They're just my favorite. I love this review and I suggest them to anyone looking for a good oil based pencils to start with. They're not as expensive as polys but great quality so if you want to find out if oil dominant pencils are for you without a huge risk, (plus Amazon return policy and quick shipping), you cannot beat these and you won't be gambling on $200.
I realize that this is an old review but I just found them on Amazon for EUR 136.00 for 96 pencils. Quite expensive imo. I can get 120 Faber Castell pencils for EUR 140 to EUR 155.
Thank you for an in depth review of these pencils.Great stream and you ha e my thumbs up
Thank you so much for your wonderful comment and support. Thank you.
You said you like to talk... I would like to say that you talk soooooooo cute. No disrespect, no debauchery. You do have an adorable accent.
Thank you so much for your incredibly kind comment. I think my accent is horrible, but I love being N Irish thank you again so much
Ahhh, I could listen to North Ireland all day. My mum's from Armagh. :)
PS: I know the *real* reason you could ramble on for days... it might just be the same reason that my mum does!
My best mate in the world is from Armagh lol, I am originally from Belfast, that is where I was born, then Newtownards and most of my childhood and teenage years in Lisburn, which is really where call home.
As many products often do, they probably gave the product a continental name because that sells. Think Hagan Das I've cream.
Available on Amazon AU, at $91Aud.
krankywitch thank you so much for sharing this. So that is about £48 UK, that must have to do with the import and export fees because that is really expensive for them.
cheaper on ebay
This promises to be fun less reliable on eBay
😎
Might be a re-branded Marco raffine
I just saw the set of 96 for $146.96. Much too expensive for me unfortunately. The 72 set is $109.96
Your EU eBay link goes to your Spiderman Stylefile video, not to an eBay page.
arcanics1971 oh I’ll get on that right away thank you for letting me know mate
Just changed it my friend and thank you so much for letting me know, that was careless of me. Thank you
I just won a giveaway ! Free watercolor from this company ! ❤️❤️❤️
I am sure you will love them and congrats on winning. I’ve not tried their watercolor pencils but if they are anything like these pencils in this review, you will love them. Let us know what you think of them when you get them. Thank you so much for commenting on the channel and stopping by.
The Art Gear Guide will do!!!
i have a set of 96
Hi Ruth I have heard good things about the 96 set and the extra colors in the set. I loved using these pencils and was really happy with the artwork I created with them. Thank you so much for your wonderful comment and support
A 30-minute review but you never really gave your opinion, whether you liked them or not for the price, how they compare to other brands. You spoke about absolutely everything else but I'm not sure what you THINK of the product
Hi there, unfortunately I try not to give my opinion on any of my reviews, my opinion isn’t relevant, I don’t want people spending their hard earned money on a product which is based on what I like.
I’ll give you an example. The Derwent artist pencil is one of the hardest least pigmented pencils on the market, you either have to use the pencil on sanded paper or lots of layers. Very few pencil artists like them for those reasons, but they are one of my favourite. A lot of pencil artists like the soft cored highly pigmented pencils.
Also, there are so many variables to what makes a pencil good to each of us, paper being the biggest one. I could have said that I love these pencils but been using Hot Pressed Watercolour paper and someone buy them but for Bristol Smooth and wonder what I was talking about.
What I try to do is show the pencils on as many different surfaces as I can afford, including black plus show how they are blending and layering and then providing artwork. I leave it down to viewers to determine if the pencils would fit in with their style of art. Also, I split my reviews into 4 parts, UA-cam Video Review, Written Review, Speed Drawing and Still Images. I also reply to questions that people may have about the pencils and if someone emails me or private messages me I will say what I personally thought of the pencils, but I won’t say publicly because when asked by a viewer what if I think a certain pencil is good for them, I ask them questions specific to the art they enjoy doing.
Hopefully this explains why I don’t give my own personal opinion on a pencil. But I am always happy to answer questions
@@TheArtGearGuide Okay. I understand your philosophy now, and I can certainly say that I respect it. I only wish you would state that early in the video :) Because personally, I watched the whole 30 minutes, and for me it was unfortunately, virtually useless (except a few parts, like lightfastedness and the lack of yellows). See I am LOOKING for an expert's advice, because I am a total beginner. Watching your video, it's virtually impossible for a beginner to understand if the pencils were some of the worst you ever used, or some of the best you ever used. It was also impossible to understand if my 'hard earned money' was going to be wasted, or well invested. So I am back to Amazon, and I'm going to buy a random box of pencils because I'm not the wiser.
I don't mean to sound discouraging or anything, I respect your work incredibly, and I am just a nobody on the Internet, so I certainly hope you don't take anything I say seriously. I think I am probably not the best audience for your videos, because I am such a complete noob to color pencils specifically. I like your art style, I like the style of your videos, I have subscribed and will look forward to your content! Wishing you the absolute best.
Perhaps not, and to me you are not a nobody, you are someone trying to find information on Colored pencils but you are watching a video on one specific type of pencil. If you are brand new to Colored pencils before you start selecting the pencils you want, you need to understand how paper effects them, erasers, sharpeners etc and I have videos explaining all of this for beginners.
I have 19,000 subscribers on this channel at the time of replying to you, each one has a different need for their pencils. For example.
What genre of art are you interested in, landscape, portraiture, pet portraits, wildlife or fan art etc. Have you tried different papers or are you just using printer paper? There are loads of inexpensive papers that will transform your pencils, such as Clairefontaine Paint On Mixed Media paper, Strathmore 300 Series Bristol Velum.
But if you are new to Colored pencils I wouldn’t recommend these pencils to start of with. Although they are nice pencils the palette is a bit more focused on wildlife or pet portraits.
Depending on your budget, You could try the Koh-I-Noor Polycolor or the Lyra Rembrandt Polycolor. These pencils are mid range pencils, can be purchased open stock and both pencils have excellent palette mixes.
If you are wanting to spend a bit more then the Faber Castell Polychromos are a work horse pencil, an excellent all round pencil. Can be purchased open stock and good lightfast ratings but the lightfastness isn’t important unless you are planning on selling your work.
As I have said, I am more than happy to answer questions but the more specific you are the more I can help you.
Another review on UA-cam mentions that many of these pencil leads don't match the barrel colour. That shows poor quality control.
Also, no lightfastness ratings at all, in spite of the "artist quality" claim.
Why would anyone spend hours and hours working on a drawing, knowing the colours are fugitive (or worse, being unaware?) What if someone offers to then buy your work? Never think your work deserves other than the best in lightfastness. Imagine if Van Gogh took that approach!
I think a lot of people, myself included spend hours or days on a drawing for their own self worth, their ow. Happiness. In my opinion art is not just about making money, creating a business, that is certainly one aspect of it, but not the only aspect.
Many people are turning to art as a way of helping them deal with serious to minor mental health issues or to help them recover from some trauma, ensuring that you are using only lightfast products for most people is not part of that process.
There are so many facets to art, far too many to mention, highly lightfast products and selling art is only one of many facets to art. I often think that if you are the type of artist who is only using lightfast products, you will know whether a product is highly lightfast or not by the price tag. Almost every lightfast art supply on the market that carries the prestigious ASTM or Blue Wool “stamp” is going to make most artists eyes water when paying for them.
Also I think and this is only my opinion, that if an artists creates a beautiful work of art, regardless of the time spent on it, and that piece touches someone’s soul enough to want to buy, so long as the artist is honest about the lightfastness or lack there of, or sells said art in print form, I don’t see the harm. Obviously an original piece with the finest of art supplies is going to be better quality and rightly so, mortgage worthy, but there are still many ways in which artists can protect their art from the strong rays of our Sun.
I get so many emails from new and young artists, getting themselves worked up about financial worries because they think they need to always and only use highly lightfast products and most because they listen to people like me highlight in a review if the product is or isn’t lightfast. This is the reason over the last year or so I have changed my approach regarding this subject, ensuring that young artist understand the importance of lightfast when selling original work but that it is equally okay to draw something beautiful in a sketch book with non lightfast products and not worry about it.
@@TheArtGearGuide thanks so much for the courteous and relevant reply! Lots of food for thought.
😁😁😁
I guess one approach, if budget is an issue, is to buy just a few colours open stock. Fewer colours means we are almost forced to understand colour mixing. 😊
That is an excellent point, I wish that when I got started in art about 5 years ago that I learnt more about colour theory and you are so right, knowing your colour theory really does add another dimension to your pencils.
How can I support you financially as a thank you I love listening to you thank you for all you do, I am in Australia born in UK I am on Facebook you can message me with your bank details ad I’ll send you a transfer 🥰🥰🥰 I’m 72 and. I enjoy listening to your accent and am interested in your reviews 🥰
Hi Angela thank you so so much for your incredibly kind words and generous offer. The best way you can support me is to just keep doing what you are doing, which is watching and enjoying the videos I upload, obviously it’s down to me to make sure I upload enjoyable content 🤣😂 but that is the best way. If you really want to make a donation but please don’t feel you have to, I have a PayPal account under the email address iharrison30@btinternet.com Unfortunately I couldn’t find you on Facebook, I was surprised to see how many Angela Campbells live in Australia 🤣🤣 but you can always reach out to me privately via theartgearguide@gmail.com. This is the address I have anything art related go to as it is the email I check the most. Thank you so very very much for your kind comment and support I really appreciate it
The horse neck is very thin....otherwise good job...
Mark ok the image I drew it from the horse is actually looking over its back end, so under the head you should see the back end of the horse almost blurred out. I could see the neck looked a bit thin but I used the grid method with the initial sketch so I know the dimensions are correct. It’s like the mane doesn’t look right to me either, but that is how it is in the photo, again because the way the horses head is turned looking over it’s back. I’ll add the original image on my site and you can see what I mean but I agree completely with your opinion.
Oh please stop butchering the name. I love your reviews but had to say that.
It's pronounced Shearer and then add a p sound immediately after the sh so shh peer rer Far Ben
I am actually dyslexic so find spelling and sounding words difficult I try my best.
Thanks for the review. the Horse is beautiful
Thank you so much Gerry mate for your fantastic comment thank you so much.
