REVIEW: Copic Ciao

Hey Guys!

Today I have something slightly different for you. As you can probably tell from the title this is a review on the Copic Ciao Markers. I have meaning to buy some of these for a while and last week went to Hobbycraft and bought these. Yay! So lets get right to it! 

As is quite common with a lot of markers they are double ended - I've taken a picture of them to show you.

I also have drawn some eyes to show you what they look like when you draw with them!

                And here is an example of the different widths and ways that you can use them!

The thick end is quite hard and can cover larger areas while the thin end is amazingly soft; it's like using a really soft paint brush! My rating is 9 1/2 out of 10 I'm definitely going to buy more.

I hope you all like this review. I don't think it is too bad for a first attempt.

"Happy St. Paddy's day"

Hey Guy!

So to celebrate St. Paddy's day I have drawn a leprechauns Pot of Gold from the end of the rainbow. Well I say drew, but if you look closer you'll see that I didn't colour it in as I normally do. Instead of inking it in with pens or markers, I used watercolours because I finally managed to buy some new brushes! Watercolours, I have found, add nice light touch to any picture and you have more control of the denseness of your colour.

I've had a little bit of creative block this week but I'll still manage to get posts up for you this weekend, so don't worry!

Hope you all like it!

"My New Years Resolution"

Hey Guys

Hope you are all having a great weekend!

Today I'm setting myself a challenge, one of my New Year's resolutions was to upload on here more often.  So the other day I sat myself down and tried to figure out what I wanted to upload and when I wanted to upload it. So what I thought of was to upload two posts a week; one on Saturday and one on Sunday.  On Saturdays I'm going to upload something that I thought I'd call Sketch of the week which is basically just me explaining a picture that I have drawn earlier that week. On Sundays you can expect to find things like tutorials, reviews and my comments on different art related stuff. 

So that is basically it.  Thanks for reading this little post.
