Last month, I went to attend a life drawing session organized by local artists. I had fun sketching nude models for the first time, and I think I am going to attend similar activities in the future. I did not finish the entire event as I had to hurry home (the event was in the city and it's 7-11PM), but I'm glad to just experience the event.

One of the reasons why I really pushed with going to that event is the opportunity to see in person the Escoda brushes that one of the sponsors are selling during the event. I have been curious about trying this brand. I brought home two Versatil brushes with me, one of which a rigger size 0 that I tried using for my doll repaint projects.

Since I decided to do more doll repaints in the future, I thought I had to brush up my portrait skills. In the past I used graphite pencils and watercolor paint. Although I did learn from these mediums, I thought that for the purpose of relearning portraits, I had to use the the easiest medium for me. I picked up the watercolor pencils because I rarely use them (more than 4 years with me), and for a change - and I'm loving it! They are soft enough to glide on my rough paper, and they're, well, in fun colors!
A few days ago, I also jumped back into my comics thing as I thought it would allow me quick daily drawing practice. But I'll share all of that in another post. This one's a little too much already.
See you soon!
