Best papers for Graphite drawings I've ever treid,are the Hahnemuhle Dessin 150gsm and the Arches Watercolor Hot Pressed in the black pads. For Polychromos, I use the Fabriano Artistico Hot pressed.

@shannonmullin 6 месяцев назад

I love Arches!! I’ve been using that for the past year or so and it’s amazing isn’t it 😍

Hello Shannon, Hello from Maryland, USA! I can't tell you how much I enjoy your videos! You are a great instructor. I have done your little duck drawing and had so much fun. It turned out great. Your work is amazing, and your filming excellent. I am excited to do more of your instruction videos. Thanks again!

@shannonmullin Год назад

Hello from across the globe! How lovely of you to say I'm so glad you enjoy my videos and your drawing turned out well ☺️ You're most welcome, have a lovely day! 🤍

@ThePencilist0101 Год назад

You are a favorite artist in my book. I like how you go in depth about your subject matter and the fact that you take time out to deal with real situations in real life. I think you should try Strathmore Bristol the 400 series not the 300 series. If you don't like that then try the Canson type papers. Do be aware Canson does come in different weights therefor different surfaces.

@shannonmullin Год назад

That's so kind thank you Wesley! I will take note of these paper recommendations and have a look into them thank you 😊

Thanks for this video, your work is amazing. I'm a total beginner and you are so inspirational to me right now. Going to try some of your tutorials to see if I can get started and if I'm still enjoying it join your patron to try to learn more from you, thanks for sharing these videos with us.

@amandastockham6918 Год назад

Thank you for sharing Shannon and your work is magnificent. I love pencils and animals so a fabulous combination, but I know I need to slow down when working with them and not be so impatient 😑. Thanks again x

@shannonmullin Год назад

Thank you so much! It's a winning combination for me 😍 I get slower the longer I've been doing this, it's definitely something you learn to embrace over time 🥰 you're most welcome x

@Arty-Zen Год назад

Thank you so much Shannon. I am a newbie, so still finding my way around in so many things. I love animals and with pencils, going slowing seems the obvious way for me because it allows for such pefection, real lifeness. All your tips and info are so precious, as like in many fields of life, end results can only be as the good as the ground work - with such an abundance of many expensive products, its very hard to know the right ones to decide - you have helped me immensly. I am so greatful. I was immediatly drawn to the beauty of your high quality artwork. Its breathaking! It shows the time consuming hard work involved needed to produce art as real, so life like as in photograph - its stunning!🙏💕

@shannonmullin Год назад

Thank you so much Lynda, welcome to coloured pencils ☺️ I'm glad you enjoyed the tips, I hope they gave you a good starting point 🤍

@misterjayart971 9 месяцев назад

I really appreciate this video, I've been watching countless tutorials on how to draw in coloured pencil, each and everyone has overcomplicated the process even when they're suppose to be "simple" and they all preach about burnishing being essential. As someone that has solely used graphite (since forever) I want to finish one area and move through the drawing, rather than getting the whole thing base-layered with light strokes and then a hundred other light stroked layers on top before battering it all down with a light coloured pencil. I just wanna say thank you for giving me a clear idea how to get started

@shannonmullin 9 месяцев назад

I’m so glad it was helpful! Oh my gosh I’m the same, I can’t cope with the drawing only coming together at the end 😂 it needs to take form straight away! To me it’s exactly the same technique but just the other way round as you’re getting the creamy texture straight away instead of at the end 😍

@greekveteran2715 6 месяцев назад

I believe, that the Fabriano Artistico Hot PRessed paper in pads, is the paper you look for. The Hot pressed in sheets, come with a more rough surfgace, ideal for watercolor. ( I could be lucky, and and always get older pads when I order, but that's my experience and I know I was never that lucky in my life) If others have the same experience, please share it with us.

@shannonmullin 6 месяцев назад

That’s really interesting! I’ve never bought the pads before I’ve always bought the big sheets and they used to be spot on until lately. Maybe I need to try a pad instead ☺️

Great video very useful thank you. Have you a link for your pencil storage system it looks perfect to keep pencils tidy and in clear view.

@shannonmullin Год назад

Thank you so much! Yes of course I got them from Shein: www.shein.co.uk/4-Grid-Pencil-Holder-1pc-p-747559.html

@Cascada200 Год назад

That is unfortunate about Fabriano. I still use it currently in the Waterblocks Hotpressed extra white. I don't have experience with the old formula. How was the old Fabriano Artistico compared to the new version?

@shannonmullin Год назад

It is such a shame! It was the perfect mixture of smooth but with enough texture for the pencil to stick. It worked really well with the slice tool 😔

@Cascada200 Год назад

@@shannonmullin would you say the newer formula has too much tooth? I was told the older variation was more smooth
