Hello all

I tried new art supplies and I'm very happy about them! I'd subscribed to Scrawlrbox a while back and I still have boxes I haven't tried.


This time I tried water-soluble mediums: a different brand of watercolor pencils from those I use (some sort of large Faber Castels) and watercolor markers (also Faber Castel). By the way, if you want to see what was inside the scrawlr box I made a post about it on my Instagram.


Watercolor pencils vary in shapes and pigmentation, but all in all, you don't need to adapt to a new brand. The technique is always pretty much the same. It was reassuring to have something I knew for sure how to use in the box. Because believe me, it's very unsettling to open a box with art supplies and have no idea how to operate what's inside. There's always info about the products inside the boxes, but nothing compares to actually trying the supplies.


I'd tried a Promarker watercolor marker before but honestly, I didn't like the result, so I was a little scared to try these new markers. So I tested them on a separate piece of paper to really understand how I would use them on their own and combined them with the pencils. I made swatches, mixed them, added water, and waited. I realized I had to use them like actual watercolors: mix them on a separate piece of paper as I would do with paint on a palette, and then apply them to my drawing.


I'm still trying to figure out how paint works in terms of layering and mixing, so I was a bit cautious with how I applied the colors, and the shades, but I've learned a lot from this new drawing, I'll try to be bolder next time.

Right now I'm pretty satisfied with the result. Please, go see it (link above) and tell me what you think! Remember I can really use feedback ;)
