Hi Ana and welcome to my blog - your ...Thank you:)<br /><br />Hi Ana and welcome to my blog - your English is very good (way better than my Spanish:)) In answer to your question I use mainly Derwent Artist pencils but also use FC Polychromos, Caran d'Ache Luminance and Pablo with the odd Prismacolor and Derwent Coloursoft. All are artist grade pencils.<br /><br />Hi Zuzana, I've been drawing for many, many years (went to art college on leaving school) and have basically learned the more I drew. I learn something new with each portrait I draw and always (well nearly always)think my latest portrait is better than the last. What is it they say - practice, practice, practice - so true:)Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17965272647048231298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31268332.post-23352668117175368492009-10-16T21:25:37.306+01:002009-10-16T21:25:37.306+01:00And how and who taught you to draw portraits?:)And how and who taught you to draw portraits?:)Zuzana_Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02552289255199512400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31268332.post-68479069480525736012009-10-16T19:23:41.258+01:002009-10-16T19:23:41.258+01:00Hola.

I try to draw with color pencils, but, I don't get this realism. Can you tell me the brand of your pencils? Are they normal color pencils?<br /><br />Anyway, I think you are a great, great artist, your work is very difficult. Congratulations!. I send you greetings from Spain, in Europe :-)Ana Márquezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11567554382187472369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31268332.post-69720362705394269132009-10-16T02:51:09.981+01:002009-10-16T02:51:09.981+01:00Wow, gorgeous!!Wow, gorgeous!!Teresa Mallenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17978596700598817430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31268332.post-59692147296590742712009-10-14T12:22:17.356+01:002009-10-14T12:22:17.356+01:00Thank you:)
