A few too many bugs and creepy crawlies in the book to be suitable for me, but it did look good otherwise! Great review! I do see he has one on just birds tho… even tho I like the plants and landscapes part too… hmmm…. Maybe I’ll just have to get over my dislike of the bugs 😂

What is too expensive? The Royal Talens sketchbooks are some of the cheaper ones actually.

@ArtySubu8 күн бұрын
For the first one with the map on the facing page, I used Karin Decobrush marker to create kind of circular motions, and for the others a combination of water-brush with either watercolour marker and squishing it around or neocolour where there is texture, again in circular motions. I'll do a specific trees video as people have asked for that and explain more! I've also just started a free patreon where I'll be sharing some similar behind-the-scenes stuff that isn't suitable for videos if you want to check that out www.patreon.com/ArtySubu

Derwent is a UK brand and I might pop up to their pencil museum and factory in the Lake District soon. Wonder if they'd let me film there 🤔?! It's so pricey but sooooo good, hey?
