Eye See You

Another sketch in my coffee shop/animal journal. I do really like doing eyes.  This time I am using Caran d'ache Supracolour pencils, they are watercolour pencils. 

I used a waterbrush to blend them. The ones I use are Kuretake medium and fine. If you have never used a waterbrush you really should try them and Cult Pens have them at a great price. 

I have to admit with getting a bit bored with all the green.. 

So it took longer than I intended.. 

This paper is super sucky too so it grabs the paper and bleeds quickly, of course it is not meant for watercolour. 

But I do like working over the text and having it show through. 

All finished, or at least as much as it is going to be. These aren't meant to be finished pices of art, just studies of animals. 

                               

I am hoping to get better at both animals and watercolour mediums this year.. What things would you like to improve in your art? Why don't you start a journal dedicated to improving just one thing.. Don't put any pressure on yourself, just pick up that journal when you feel like it and fill it up with practice pieces.
