Any artists out there?

Your drawing skills and eye for proportions are very good. Focusing on increasing contrast and using more colors will improve your art greatly. Learn to find all the different colors in the shadows, reflections, etc. Also, a lot of beginners don't realize that colored pencils can be layered to mix colors, so if you don't have a pencil in the color you need you can mix it yourself!

Thank you! I draw lines and circles everywhere and do a like connect the dots so I get the angles and details right, then I draw other lines dots and box’s so I don’t make it too big/small, etc.
thanks I mainly just use my graphite pencil set for most, I’m just starting to try colored pencils, so thx so much for the tip. Your art is beyond amazing!

What are your alls favorite brand of watercolors? I am new to the medium and am still getting the hang of it. There is definitely a learning curve to watercolor and it is very different than acrylic and color pencils which I am used to. I painted this bday card for my husband. It was still taped off and drying in the pic. I have Daniel Smith watercolors so far. And one Paul Ruben palette.

Looks great! I only use one brand of watercolor, except the metallic tubes I got from Hobby Lobby. Master's Touch. It's probably not very fancy but it gets the job done! I wouldn't change anything, that's for sure! It's the paper that gets me! But I like my watercolor blocks.

I prefer blocks also. I have some BaoHong Academy and Arches watercolor paper. I don't really prefer one over the other of those two. However, I bought a cheaper pad of "100% cotton" cold pressed paper from Amazon and it pills so bad. I use it for practice only.
