Mountain Goat Colored Pencil Work In Progress Update

Mountain Goat Colored Pencil Work In Progress

Well, I am nearly done with this work in progress. I have a little more work to do on the sky and the goat. The mat and frame should arrive this week. I plan on delivering this piece to the client next Saturday. 

Medium: Prisma Colored Pencils, Irojiten Colored Pencils and Copic Colorless Blender Marker. 

Size: 9 x 12

Paper: Artagain

In this step-by-step work in progress I started off  by layering with the Terracotta Prismacolor Verithin and then I began to gradually add other layers of color using Prismacolors and Irojitens. I used the Copic Colorless Blender Marker to blend the colors. For the white highlights in the clouds and in small detail parts of the goat I used Brush and Pencil's Colored Pencil Titanium White. 

Keep on Creating!

Have a blessed week!

Colored Pencil Artwork Updates, Colored Pencil Resource of the Week, and Art Resource of the Week

To be a colored pencil artist is not every artist's cup of tea. It is a medium that can be quite time-consuming, tedious, and requires a lot of practice. Because it takes me so long to do a colored pencil painting, I have come to a point in my art career where now I just draw and paint what interests me and brings me joy. I am not in it for the competition or to make a profit anymore. Of course, it is nice when an artist can make a sale as it can bring a smile to one's face. But now, I create works of art to share what motivates and inspires me and to help teach others what I know. It is always a joy to meet other artists from around the world, especially the artists from DA and Sketchfest. Thanks to everyone who has followed me along my art journey. I hope these blog posts and my website resources have been and continue to be educational resources and inspiration to other artists and students.

Colored Pencil Artwork Updates

The portrait, I Believe, is finally finished. The portrait was created with colored pencil and drawn on Rising Stonehenge. The meaning behind the portrait was to capture a man's emotions who truly believes in his faith and has come to a dawning moment of pure, simple joy and peace. The scan didn't pick up all the details of the clouds, but if you look real hard, you will see some images in the clouds.

Resource of the Week

As portable devices and social networking become a dominant part of most artists lives. I have discovered a valuable artist tool for my iPhone - Pose tool. It uses a 3D platform to place subjects in various poses. It has 3 point lighting and 4 different modes to place the subject in - muscle, life, mannequin and gesture. Check out the review and details here https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pose-tool-3d/id570369634 You can download it from your app store for $6.99. Well worth the cost.
