Draw something sight-sized! Make it small or make it large. Fill up a page in your sketchbook or just use the corner. Example image found on the internet from James Sayer (and what a lovely pencil shaving it is!). How about a cup of pencils or brushes? What about a piece of fruit or that sprouting onion? Maybe your watch or a favorite piece of jewelry? Whatever you choose, either go in close to draw all of the details or pan out and make it tiny! We suggest using the Tombow Irojiten colored pencils (Liz’ favorites!). Usage suggestion for colored pencil (since they are tricky to erase): start with light to dark values and soft to heavy pressure.
Liz loves the Tombow Irojiten colored pencils because they blend and layer without heavy build-up, the points are durable and strong enough for writing, and best of all, they’re so pleasing in the hand (and on the eye)! This week only, April 2nd thru April 8th, Wet Paint will be selling them on super sale for 35% off MSRP! Time to stock up (Liz says she’ll share!) Click here to check out the entire line!
