  • A great sketchbook idea for beginners or anyone trying to get creative in your sketchbook. I'm using Caran d'Ache Neocolor II water soluble wax pastels to draw and paint using reference pictures. Sketch along with me as I complete a few pages in my Moleskine sketchbook.
    I had a lot of fun with this and I hope you enjoy watching the full process.

    You did a fantastic job "rescuing" that horse! A great lesson in how to work with happy little accidents. The scene in the end looks terrific. I love the color scheme! And you're right: a blue sky was the right choice.

    I just love your way of loose scribbling around and how you let the development give it a flow. I loved the color-combination for the horse, as you said, there is a lot of purple and the you picked peach for the white part of the horse, it is so amazing how it came out. Because of you I put all my Neocolor II out and there now ready for scribbling, too. Thank you for all your inspiring videos especially for letting the perfectionist go and enjoying the process.

    • @artbyheather

      Thank you so much! It’s so important to keep going and not get discouraged by imperfections. I’m glad I could help give you the inspiration to get scribbly with those Neocolors! 😊👍

    I’m watching right now and you said sorry for going silent for awhile…. It’s perfectly fine! We are all watching you anyways and you don’t have to speak constantly. I enjoy listening to you, love your voice and watching you work. No need to apologize for anything! Other than a little less hand talking in the intro, you are doing a fantastic job all around and encouraging us to relax and just pick up whatever and draw. You bet I’m a subscriber!! 🥰

    Thanks for sharing, and as always, seems like you’re having so much fun.

    I love this! The horse reminds me of the roaming herds of wild horses around New Mexico. Seeing a horse near a cactus doesn't seem odd to me at all!

    • @artbyheather

    I tried the horse. It was ok. Then I was trying the cactus you had, but instead I had the start of a stream. That was fun. I really like the look of the Caran d’ache neocolor ll. After I’ve drawn a bit more..

    • @artbyheather
      @artbyheather  Před 6 dny

      A stream is a great idea! Thanks for drawing with me! I feel the same about the Neocolors. The more you work with them and layer, the better it looks! I’ve noticed that they look better on smooth paper too. I’m glad you enjoy using them! 😊👍

    Love your sketches/channel.
    I wonder if there are any more encouraging words we could use instead of “messed it up” etc for younger people watching or newcomers, just so that they don’t “think” if it isn’t perfect, it’s trash

    • @artbyheather
      @artbyheather  Před 9 dny

      Thanks so much! I know what you mean. I think it’s more about how you say it. Making a mess is a lot of fun and I wish there were a better way to express it as a positive. It might be “loosen it up” or “abstract it”, but I’m terrible with things like that. I can’t even call multiple cactus, “cacti”. 😅 I think my brain won’t allow it! Thanks for watching! 😊👍

  • @blacksweettee
    @blacksweettee Před 9 dny +3

    Curious question? It wasn't a time sketch. How come you didn't see if you could erase the color pencil line on the horse picture? Some colored and watercolor pencils let you erase mistakes with an eraser. 🙂

    • @artbyheather
      @artbyheather  Před 9 dny +1

      Great question! Honestly, I’ve never thought to try erasing with the Neocolor IIs. I’ll have to give it a try and see what happens. I think it might just smudge the color, because the texture is more like a wax crayon than a pencil. It’s definitely worth a try! I’ll let you know if it works out. 😊👍

      It takes me longer than it looks in the video, but I have definitely gotten quicker at sketching over the past 3 years. It takes time and practice, but you’ll get there! Thanks for sketching with me! I bet your drawing turned out better than you think! 😊👍
