I decided to draw Marvels Captain America and this was going to push me out of my comfort level because I am terrible at creating portraiture art especially with colored pencils. However I didn’t complete the drawing on my usual paper for a project of this level, Strathmore 500 Series Bristol Plate. I wanted to show the pencils of working along side other mediums such as markers, as marker and colored pencil are my two favourite mediums to use.
I am frequently ask which pencil is better than the other and I love answering these types of questions, it allows me the ability to start a conversation about pencils, which I love. As a result I decided to start an entirely new video series completely dedicated to comparing art supplies.
I was so honoured and excited to receive a set of the Derwent Lightfast Coloured Pencils in advance, quite a bit before their official release date. With the pencils I decided as this was quite a momentous occasion for Derwent, I would try to create a piece of art with meaning to the company and in essence the pencils.
Since the announcement of these new pencils from Derwent, there has been a lot of worry that Derwent are doing away with a pencil line in order to make way for the new range, I can tell you now with good authority that this is absolutely not the case. The new Derwent Lightfast are simply an addition to an already amazing range of pencils to fulfil any artists thirst for creativity.
