Careful Toby, if you relax too much then you forget to wobble your line, and people will work out that you are actually a very accomplished draftsman ;-) This was excellent, nice fast pace and highly motivating.

Glad to have found this video today. I had forgotten that some years back, I bought some Derwent watercolour pencils and a little water bottle brush. But I can see now that there is So Much More that I could be doing with them! Thank you for your explanations and encouraging me to start using them again. , 👏🏻👏🏻🥰🧑🏻🦰🇨🇦

Great video, Toby. I used them to come in at the end of an ink/watercolour illustration last night to add finishing touches and cool effects. It felt safer and was imo successful. More predictable and gradual than adding more watercolour, and avoided the risk of looking overworked.

Thanks for the video, haven’t used these materials before. A sanding block after cutting the wood off can speed sharpening. Keep your finger pressed on the tip to keep it secured to the block, rotate as you push back and forth.

Yes they are, they're a little more limited - and require some 'vision' perhaps more than watercolour paints, but they're also cheap, approachable and fun... i've got a blog post here you might be interested in www.sketchloose.co.uk/blog/watercolor-pencils

I used to sharpen my colored pencils that way but decided it was wasteful of color and didn’t provide enough benefit. I can do the same art with regular pencil sharpener.
