First up is this set of inktense pencils, which my oldest bought for me. I've used inktense blocks a bit in the past but only in white and in earthy colours to add to watercolour paintings. So I know I can draw with them or draw then wet them or wet them then draw with them. But this is a wide range of vibrant colours, so I'm going to try doing some painting using only these pencils.
I also got the Bill Buchman Expressive Figure Drawing book in my stash (more on books in another post) and, just flicking through, I already have the idea of drawing figures with all sorts of coloured pencils, then brushing them over with water and letting the ink form all sorts of shadows but I need to do some reading first. I'll probably be doing this on A5 watercolour paper rather than going the full 9 by 12. Definitely looking forward to that.
A lot of thought went into this. Cracking present.
