Lord Anhelm


With my new watercolour pencils (love'em!) I made this portrait of Lord Anhelm, my hooded raider from the journey to the House of the Serpents.

this is terrific. What brand of watercolour pencils do you use? I have some but haven't tried them out yet. Now I feel inspired to have a go

I used Faber Castel pencils - normally I prefer Derwent, but I just wanted to try them out, and they are so beautiful to work with that I am going to try more of FC's products now.

I use Faber Castel too Gail. I tried Prism but the leads kept breaking. Derwents are good too but Faber Castel rock. And I agree with Karen. The Lord is very SEXY

Well done, Gail, the athmosphere from the drawing is palpable.

I love my Faber aquarelle crayons, the pencils might be more exact in doing detail but I can use a brush and mix paint direct on [alette or paper and I don't miss the watercolour tubes one bit, my hands got to the point wher I needed help opening and closing them. That messes considewrably with the process. Again, Gail, wondefullu executed.
