  • A great sketchbook idea for beginners or anyone trying to get creative in your sketchbook. I'm using Caran d'Ache Neocolor II water soluble wax pastels to draw and paint using reference pictures. Sketch along with me as I complete a few pages in my Moleskine sketchbook.
    I had a lot of fun with this and I hope you enjoy watching the full process.

    I’m watching right now and you said sorry for going silent for awhile…. It’s perfectly fine! We are all watching you anyways and you don’t have to speak constantly. I enjoy listening to you, love your voice and watching you work. No need to apologize for anything! Other than a little less hand talking in the intro, you are doing a fantastic job all around and encouraging us to relax and just pick up whatever and draw. You bet I’m a subscriber!! 🥰

      @@artbyheather …. I didn’t realize comment reply’s were here, now that I know I’ll look for any responses I might get. It is hard for you to concentrate and work especially with just 2 minutes! You just go ahead and be quiet whenever you want, like I said we can see what you’re doing. If that isn’t enough, it’s not your fault. I look forward to each of your videos especially these 2 minute ones. They’re just plain fun!

    I just love your way of loose scribbling around and how you let the development give it a flow. I loved the color-combination for the horse, as you said, there is a lot of purple and the you picked peach for the white part of the horse, it is so amazing how it came out. Because of you I put all my Neocolor II out and there now ready for scribbling, too. Thank you for all your inspiring videos especially for letting the perfectionist go and enjoying the process.

    I tried the horse. It was ok. Then I was trying the cactus you had, but instead I had the start of a stream. That was fun. I really like the look of the Caran d’ache neocolor ll. After I’ve drawn a bit more..

      @artbyheather  3 місяці тому +1

      A stream is a great idea! Thanks for drawing with me! I feel the same about the Neocolors. The more you work with them and layer, the better it looks! I’ve noticed that they look better on smooth paper too. I’m glad you enjoy using them! 😊👍

    Love your sketches/channel.
    I wonder if there are any more encouraging words we could use instead of “messed it up” etc for younger people watching or newcomers, just so that they don’t “think” if it isn’t perfect, it’s trash

    • @artbyheather
      @artbyheather  3 місяці тому +1

      Thanks so much! I know what you mean. I think it’s more about how you say it. Making a mess is a lot of fun and I wish there were a better way to express it as a positive. It might be “loosen it up” or “abstract it”, but I’m terrible with things like that. I can’t even call multiple cactus, “cacti”. 😅 I think my brain won’t allow it! Thanks for watching! 😊👍

    I spent three days on my horse... but then I used Neocolors II then gouache... green for the horse was not a good choice xD I love how you deviated from the background from the photo! 🥰 I'm still working on ignoring things in the photograph when drawing/painting and do what I want to do.

    • @artbyheather

      It takes time. There is definitely an evolution process to learning how to draw or paint. That’s something no one really teaches because I think it has to happen on its own. You’re doing great! I’m sure the green horse isn’t as bad as you think. ❤️😊👍

    Curious question? It wasn't a time sketch. How come you didn't see if you could erase the color pencil line on the horse picture? Some colored and watercolor pencils let you erase mistakes with an eraser. 🙂

    • @artbyheather
      @artbyheather  3 місяці тому +2

      Great question! Honestly, I’ve never thought to try erasing with the Neocolor IIs. I’ll have to give it a try and see what happens. I think it might just smudge the color, because the texture is more like a wax crayon than a pencil. It’s definitely worth a try! I’ll let you know if it works out. 😊👍
