“PRIDE” by Karen Hull - Australia

Excerpt from the artist’s page:

I have never really been a fan of paper surfaces, preferring to experiment with more unusual surfaces, but smooth mat board is a surface I have come back to time and again because of its ability to take multiple layers and lots of punishment.

Recently, I also started combining the…

“Tree of Stories” by Denise Howard - USA Excerpt from the artist’s page: When choosing reference photos, I look for ones with not only a full range of values, but a good composition of those values.

If there’s a large light area, there should be either a similarly-sized dark area, or a small but compelling dark area.

When in doubt…

“Schnooty” by Annemieke De Wit The Netherlands

Excerpt from the artist’s page: I always draw on coloured paper. If I have to use a lot of white, like in this drawing, I prefer Fawn Stonehenge paper. This colour is also great as a base for skin tones.

I really love using my white pencil and being able to see it on my paper. I draw my first sketch in white, including the whiskers, and then I ….

“At Rest” by Patricia Andril USA

“Looking Out for Me” by Helen Bailey - USA

Excerpt from the artist’s page: I have found that Crescent suede mat board is my surface of choice when I am drawing animals. It has a velvety, soft look and feel that accepts Prismacolor pencil very well.

You can still get sharp detail with a sharp pencil point but softer areas like a horse’s muzzle look velvety when drawn with a less…

“All is Safely Gathered In”

by Janie Pirie – U.K.

Excerpt from the artist’s page: I started this in the Loire Valley on a wine-tasting trip with my husband John.

Unknowingly, it was to be our last holiday together. Just after he was diagnosed with terminal cancer, I would sit by his bedside and work on the picture. He never saw it finished.

I vowed I would never draw again but knew he would be so sad if I didn’t.

When I tried to…

“Rest Stop” by Gemma Gylling - USA

Excerpt from the artist’s page: I do most of my wildlife art on Suede Matboard over a smooth surface because it allows you to add lighter colors on top of darker colors, which is great for creating those light tips on animal fur.

The pencil behaves more…

“Reflecting on Spring”

by Sherry Smith USA Excerpt from the artist’s page: I set up outside in the natural sunlight, spreading the fabrics on the deck first then placing the objects on top. I usually stand over the set up and shoot down.

The way the shadows fall is also an important element in the composition. I find that early morning and late afternoon produces…..

“Pose Bucolique”

by Patrick Rogelet France Excerpt from the artist’s page: My work is primarily focused on creativity. My drawings are almost all in a surrealistic theme.

I had the idea of using the peels of the pencil sharpener to make the petals of a flower surrealistic.

In order to appreciate the texture of the petals made of wood, I greatly enlarged and played…
