Vivian peace!
I did a little figure drawing practice yesterday during a work call and tried out some new Derwent Graphitint watercolors. Nice change from my super-bright Inktense kits.

Hands spread
I used a Moleskin Sketching notebook and Derwent Artist Pencil (Midnight 8100) for this drawing.

Mic check
Another Zoom portrait, this one using some different colors as an experiment from my usual monochrome approach in the past. I used a pencil, a Uniball Vision pen, Derwent Inktense Watercolors, and Derwent Waterbrushes for this painting.

I also wanted an excuse to play with the Lyra Groove Triple crayons again. They are water-soluble and have a really rich pastel-like character. The texture turns out…
