  • Hi everyone, today I'm sharing with you a lazy day at home sketching a bottle of soy sauce and the view outside my kitchen window. Please watch the video until the end for my full process composing this sketchbook page using pen and watercolors.
    🎨 Materials I used:
    - Sailor's fude fountain pen
    - Noodler's Brown 41 Ink (to fill the fountain pen)
    - Mungyo watercolors
    - Etchr Mix-Media A4 size Landscape Sketchbook
    - Holbein Water Brush (large tip)
    - Holbein water brush (medium tip)
    🎨 I'm teaching online classes every week. Check them out the newest 2024 classes in my Ko-Fi Shop:
    ko-fi.com/caobecky/shop
    Every day is a good day to make art. We don't need fancy subjects, but we need to pay attention to the beauty in the mundane.

    The notes about color mixing and layering is wonderful! Few people explain what colors they're using while explaining the reasons why those colors work. I would never have thought of a green twinge in a gray sky.

    🍶☁️ Remarkable employment. I stand inclined towards, concentrated dark browns. Glances like profoundness. I loathe a higher ratio of cobalt blue as it degrades complementary hues. ☁️🍶

    How did you learn to draw in pen only? You draw so confidently without making noticeable mistakes. Wondering if it’s simply a matter of practice. I’m curious how you can draw from life without undersketching. I always get the angles and proportion wrong on my first several attempts and thus find it almost impossible to draw in pen accurately from the start… Any tips?

    • @BeckyCao
      @BeckyCao  3 месяца назад +1

      Thank you so much! It takes like 20+ years for me.. I began as a kid drawing cartoons, I simply just enjoy the process without thinking so much about "Improving", it happens with time and consistency, and passion for creating.
