Hi all the arty people out there
Im expandibg more on learning how to draw
Ive recently brought water colours
Can you please give me tips and dos and donts of this sort of pencil?
When drawing do you use the water colours draw the whole pic then paint over in water or do you do it in sections?

Thought I'd bring the art discussion back on topic with a pic of an artwork I did in my old studio when I lived in the country. I eventually sold it when I became homeless as it helped put down a bond for a rental unit. It is a portrait of a friend of mine.

There's a lot of emotion expressed in that drawing @outlander. I won't post some of my darker stuff (mainly because it will probably get removed by mods).

Hi @Queenie,
Please feel free to post your artworks. The only reason they might be removed is if they are potentially rude or offensive 🙂
