#scrawlbox

Back home and back to drawing. This month's Scrawlbox challenge is Living Legend and means we're supposed to draw a portrait of someone famous. So of course I went with Lucas Till.

Swimming in the ocean of love.

Tried some new pens that came in my #scrawlbox. I really like them.

Today we exchange gifts at moms and she gave me a year subscription to @scrawlrbox <3 The box challenge was "Born from Bubbles" and of course I had to draw bubble man! Using a 3D effect that I learnt from Drawing with Jazza

My very first Scrawlrbox! I was so excited, but when I opened it..ooh my! What a mess! Everything smudged with pastel dust!

I felt so alienated!

Soft pastels? Never used them before.

Cosmic landscape? Never tried that one either!

Challenge accepted! And I believe I suck at drawing mechanical things but I just thought there should be an X-wing somewhere XD

This month's ScrawlrBox is one of my favourites so far ♡ sketched a lynx to test the supplies #scrawlchallenge #scrawlbox #sketch #lynx #scrawlboxchallenge

Scrawlbox April 2021 - ‘Birds Of A Feather’ Whoops, let myself fall behind on Scrawlrchallenges, so catching up now. Really fun to use Daler Rowney watercolour tubes with chinagraph pencils, the latter I’ve never used before but creates interesting effects. Chose the oddball bird the hoatzin as my subject and worked from a reference to make sure I got it right. They’re such unusual birds and really fun to draw and paint!

I'm beginning to visualize success as "able to pay bills, buy needed items, AND afford a box subscription." Sigh. Maybe some day.

Favorite Art Supplies of 2019!

Hello everyone! 2019 is nearly over and I thought to do something I haven’t done before - talk about art supplies!  Have you met an artist who isn’t going bananas over art supplies? Nether have I and I’m no exception! This year was kind to me and I got to try so many different things. I feel in love with drawing all over again! I’m so glad I went out of my comfort zone for some things, I kept what materials worked for me and gave up on those who weren’t my cup o tea without feeling remorse. Now my cousin’s daughter enjoys a huge bag of watercolor brush pens, pastels, chalks and other goodies I so generously donated. :’D  

But without further ado, favorite art supplies I discovered in 2019, GO!

1. Posca Pens

I saw various artsy youtubers use these but they didn’t seem like something I’d enjoy. Boy, was I wrong! I absolutely fell in love with the these acrylic pens. I felt like I had to push my creativity with how I build shapes and simplify a lot of designs in order to properly use them. It was so much fun and I remember doing artwork after artwork the next day after I got them. I bought a few extra, more thin ones after which I use for finer details. They are so, so vibrant and just make me happy! The fact I can’t really go into too much details with them takes so much pressure off the artwork and just makes me enjoy it a ton more.

2. Paul Rubens Watercolor - Custom Pastel Palette 

This custom palette I saw on aliexpress and thought it’s not colors I’d use but I found myself thinking about it for weeks until I finally ordered it. The paints looked like a cute little candy box! The colors were so creamy, mostly opaque and they felt like some mix between gouache and watercolors. None of them were chalky after they dried and I didn’t see any granulation. I absolutely love, love, love them! They layer great, they go great with one another, I adore this palette and used it plenty for these dreamy, fluffy, lovey dovey pictures. Definitely going to order another one if I end up using all of it, or try to re-create it with my own refills. 

3. 100% Cotton Watercolor Paper

That’s a bit embarrassing to say but as someone who was new to watercolors but practicing diligently I um, discovered this year that the watercolor paper I use may not in fact be the best watercolor paper to use. I was so confused! I saw a video called “It’s not your watercolor, it’s your paper” where the difference was explained. Needless to say I was very, very surprised and very very curious! I ordered some small and medium sketchbooks with 100% cotton watercolor paper and me, oh, my!! The difference is insane! It’s hard to pick any other watercolor paper now that I’ve tasted the sweet 100% cotton one. It soaks so much better, it keeps the colors so much more vibrant and the way the colors bloom... ahh! 

4. Spectrum Noir Illustrator Markers

This brand of markers I discovered through a Scrawlbox subscription box a year or so ago. I loved the colors but the marker nib frayed so fast. Later this year I read they upgraded the markers with different brush nibs and I saw my local art store had them there. I bought two colors and now I have about 20. They layer so well, they blend absolutely fantastic and the nib hasn’t frayed at all after using them for about 5-6 drawings so far. They are definitely replacing the Touch markers I was using them until now. Both brands being amazing, it’s just that I find the brush nib on the spectrum noir to be more soft, more flexible while Touch are bit harder but also feels sturdier. At the end it’s up to the artist’s preferences. Some prefer sturdier nibs and I do too to an extend. I think perhaps working with watercolors for a while made me prefer the softer ones? Hmm!

5. Erasable color lead mechanical pencils

Another thing I had no idea existed, ahem! I saw people use erasable color pencils in some videos and got pretty curious, what was that!? I saw none sold locally so it was another order from aliexpress for me. I got a couple of color leads aaand, I will likely not pick a normal pencil for a while lol. Unless my drawing is meant to be in darker tones, where I’d imagine a regular pencil would be nicer, color lead did wonders for my marker drawings! Absolutely in love and glad I got two packs of color lead to last me for a while! :D

And that’s it! It wasn’t a thorough review or anything, I’m sure you can find such on youtube. I just wanted to share my experience with new art supplies and maybe inspire you to try some as well or buy something nice for yourself that you’ve meant to but thought it’s not your kinda thing. Who knows, maybe it’s exactly your thing!

Thank you for stopping by, have a good week!  🤗

My ScrawlBox arrived and these pencils are exactly my kind of thing

Scrawl Box!!!

Loved loved loved the colours of the Derwent Graphitint Pencils! Although they were not that easy to use. They were a bit smudgy and the tips were breaking off very easily so I had to use the included sharpener quite often. Maybe the paper was a bit too rough - I will try a smoother paper with the pencils.

The pencil case is really cool and handy. :-) Already filled with ScrawlBox art supplies! Yeah!

About the art: I wasn’t sure how to interpret the prompt “Take Flight”, because the translation wasn’t clear. So I tried to show the “takeoff” as the moment in which the green and purple plant fairy girl successfully escapes from the grey and shadowy stone creatures.
