Most of you probably won't remember the 'Sunny' photo of my fat cat Babycheeks, but I decided to delete it, I was feeling guilty about uploading it to my account as it was taken by my fiance Doug :icondjhunter: So, if you faved it here, pretty please re-fave it, if it's not too much of a hassle: [link] I'm trying to encourage him to post more of his photos and I could use a hand :love:

FAQs


This is long overdue, because I keep getting asked the same questions and I think answering them here would be much more helpful to you.

What sort of tools do you use for drawing?
I use a bunch of pencils with the circumference of a sequoia. But I buy more than I need, the point is I use from 2B to 8B. Plus mechanical pencils for the precise bits such as eyes, teeth etc. and the much loathed hair. On A4 extra smooth Bristol paper.

How do you shade/blend?
I use blending stumps a lot, fingers, tissue and cotton buds.
I do it progressively, in layers, I start with subtle shading with a 2B then I work my way to a darker shade.

Do you accept commissions?
Certainly. Please check my shop [link] for details or send a note.

Hey Ileana, are you back on line again? Have you arrived in the UK?
Hey, Anton! Not yet, in a few days :hug:
OK, have a nice trip and take care!
I remember the Sunny picture :) It's awesome! :) I didn't fav it earlier though. Think I might... no promises :P hehe...

I know this is very weird, but what on earth are blending stumps? What's it made of? I'm pretty sure I don't see it in any shops at where I am (includes the whole city) :P maybe I'm just wrong.. hee..
Blending stumps are like thick pencils, made of paper and with a sharp tip. Here's a pic: [link]
Thanks :) It's just rolled up paper? Sorry :P
Also elegantly called a tortillon. :giggle:
