Guys!! I love her!! Believe it or not it's crayon! But we're not talking about my baby crayola here, this is caran d'ache, that fancy stuff. They layered like a dream and blended to the gods, and I might even go as far as to say they blend a little too well 😅 Look at the COLORS! The only downside is they don't keep a sharp point, hence the blocky eyelashes, but it's crayon so whaddya expect lol. 100/10 am definitely going to use again and these are now in my top three favorite mediums to use
I got indpired by @mcromwell 's heron paintings and wanted wanted to try my own hand at painting birds. (Check out their art! It's beautiful!)
It took me a bit of digging to figure out what sorts of painting media they were using, but the colours for the birds seems to be Caran d'ache neo colour II, with a mix of acrylic for background and such.
It's really fun! And the Caran d'ache colours are great to work with! You can use the crayon-like colours as is or paint with them using water and a brush.
Anyways, just wanted to show off my results and say thank you to @mcromwell for the inspiration. c:
It's been years since last I actually sat down and painted.
Say hi to Morty, my bff in the entire world and the girlie who has kept me from starving to death on multiple occasions! This is my first front facing portrait and first time making long hair so I was nervous but I think it's a good starting point 🤭
