Definitely upwards Margaret!!! we all have a collection of failed drawings and paintings, i certainly do, and they were the ones i learnt the most from, each fail is a steppingstone to success, try not to feel bad about them, feel positive that you're trying, and you will succeed, I honestly think we learnt more from our failed drawings if we make the necessary corrections in the next one. sometimes its not just about learning what to, but learning what not to do is equally important.

smoothie77 I agree with you there totally, I know what went wrong with the watercolour, apart from the obvious trying to run before I could walk but I have learnt from that I know what mistakes I made and will wait till you do something to see in more detail how to !. This one learning how how to use the eraser as a drawing tool that comes with practice I think, that was the main thing I couldn't master also trying to remember that it's not a real time video so I need to persevere more expecting it to be pretty terrible in the beginning until it all comes together. Having said all that it's better to try than not to do anything at all. Thank you for always being so kind x

You're welcome, thanks for the kind words, its great the hear you're getting inspired from my videos. I have used fixative in the past but now I tend not to, reason being, I have had paper buckle and warp, I always feel that framing drawings is the best way to keep them safe, most of my drawings are done using A4 paper so I place them in inside those A4 clear plastic covers that can be bought from stationary shops, I find they protect them well, as long as you don't keep taking them in and out, they should stay safe and protected until they get framed.

+Maxine Fewster I like waterfalls too, they make superb features in drawings, and in real life they are so nice to look at and listen too, Its strange that commercial graphite isn't graded, I would of thought it would be more sellable if the customer knew the tonal value of it, and had a range of various grades to choose from.

My sentiments excatly :)

Thank you!

Thank you, kind of you to say.

+smoothie77 yw mate. I'd definitely buy a print of that if i had the money...love it.

+TheWindGinProject Thanks, yes I always sign my work.

Thank you Marthie !

Debbie you can buy a spray called fixative I think and that’ll help with the smudging.

Thanks, yes its an eraser pencil.

ahhh i never heard of that before! thank you!

+Agui007 Wow, thanks for that! it would be great if I could do that, hopefully viewers are getting something from my demos :)

Hi Kurtis, the pencil eraser I'm using in this video is made by Derwent, I've recently bought one made by Koh-I-Noor that works just as well.

+Jia Cheng Thanks, it was a pencil eraser I used for the foliage.

Haha good question, I think I would choose the Koh-i-noor HB woodless pencil and a Derwent 4B pencil. what would you choose?

Hi Patricia, I never went to art school or anything like that, I'm completely self -taught. I use to watch lots of art DVDs and read lots of art books which helped a lot, and of course...lots of practice :)
