  • I started experimenting with this sketching process about 3 years ago and I keep coming back to it. Very effective, fun and satisfying. This is not just for faces. Works for sketching any subject in just about any sketchbook.

    I started doing this recently as well when I was returning to anatomy studies and found myself not wanting to use graphite or charcoal but not wanting the unforgiving nature of jet black ink brushes, so I just started using a brush pen with dried up patches of gouache. Now I just do it on the regular, or over top of line. And it's a great way to get a lot more use out of dried up gouache that might not be ideal for something more serious but that would also be a waste to just wash off a palette and squeeze more from tubes just for the sake of some studies. Thick toned tan paper is probably my favorite thing to work on.

    Love this. I'm trying to get back into art and recover my confidence lost since adolescence by not practising. Feel a bit intimidated by the (expensive) watercolours I bought and feel like I was always much more of a natural drawer anyway, so this might be exactly what I need to try.

    This is interesting because I’m 53 and have drawn my whole life. I’ve recently started to work with color but tend to paint like I draw and it doesn’t work so well. This looks like a natural transition between the two. Do you cover how to do this in more detail somewhere? What is the differences between your patreon and your RUclips channel?
