Hi!

Hi Janique, nice to meet you! Do you have a favorite subject you like to draw with colored pencils?

I really like to draw stuff from nature, especially birds. How about you?

I like drawing animals but still just learning. I'm currently doing a design fundamental course and looking at maybe illustration as a career but I haven't decided yet.

That sounds like alot fun, taking art classes can be very helpful. Animals are very hard to learn how to draw but can be so much fun!

I have only done my drawings in graphite, haven't attempted to try colored pencils yet. Do you have any recommendations as to what colored pencils and paper are best for animal drawings? Dogs are my favorite to draw.

I'm using a basic 12 set of prismacolor colores pencils, and a sketchbook with some tooth to it. Kirsty partridge yt channel is a really good resource when starting out.
