I do like these Inktense pencils!
Dear artist Flisties - any concrit/tips on how to continue are very welcome!

I might finish this tomorrow, but now I'm off to take Paul to see Despicable Me 3 and get the Minions to make him laugh. The boy needs it. Toodle pip, my darlings.

This is the gif btw

Aw thank you. His actual nose is very lovely, it's hard to do it justice. :)

Very nice start; you've got that angsty-Dean furrowed brow off to a tee!
Hope you had fun at Despicable Me :D

Despicable Me's great, had me chuckling frequently and I caught Paul laughing a couple of times!

And thanks! :D

Another gorgeous artwork (and if it's looking so great already, I can't imagine how glorious it's gonna be if you gonna finish it!). Anyway, it's another proof that you, my dear Amber, are a very VERY talented gal!! *saves pic to hard drive for future viewing*

PS: thank you for including the gif, it's truly yummy (but then again, almost everything with Jensen is yummy!!)

Thanks very much! I kind of thought adding the gif exposed all my errors so yay!

I tend to use my inktense with the alcohol provided, so much easier to blend, but sometimes can end up saturating the paper too much. *hugs* to Paul, also, the picture is gorgeous :)

My Inktense didn't come with any alcohol (maybe they heard I was teetotal - boom boom!)

*SNORTS* You can pick it up at any art supply store, it's meant to be used with the wadded tightened cardboard/paper sticks. You soak those with the alcohol and then use it to blend out :)

So I'm curious... does the alcohol give a different effect then water? I'd never have thought to use alcohol on watercolor pencils...

Not especially, the only difference I've seen is it gives a 'thicker' look to the colours and they seem slightly brighter.

Interesting. I think I'll stick to water then - it's easier and it's free! :D

LOL! Good choice, I only use it occasionally because mum provided with the gift.

Cool! I should experiment sometime. :D

Thank you! Oh I was talking to a friend who was on the creative sketchbooking course I went on but did a different term and she showed me all her experiments adding different stuff to watercolours to get effects. Did you know you get a different look if you use rock salt instead of table salt? I told her about your lovely paintings!

Yeah, you get bigger spots with rock salt. I actually have some, but I often forget to add it. I should next time. :D
