Kangaroo in coloured pencils

Really pleased with how this one turned out.  Coloured pencils just seemed suited towards drawing a kangaroo.  Might try a dog next.

Kangaroo measures 6 x 8 inches and is drawn on Art Spectrum fine tooth paper.

The drawing in available for purchase through Etsy.  To view the listing, please click here.

Giant Swallowtail Butterfly in coloured pencils

My local art store had a 50% off everything sale on the other day and I have been thinking about trying out coloured pencils. So since they were half price I decided to give them a go.  Purchased a tin of Faber Castell polychromos coloured pencils. I tried drawing a bird first but didn't like the result - much prefer painting them in acrylics.  So then I did butterfly and was rather pleased with how it turned out.  Next I am going to try them out on a Kangaroo as I think they will work rather well as I will be able to layer in different colours.

Giant Swallowtail Butterfly measures 6 x 6 inches and is drawn on  300gsm smooth Arches watercolour paper.

Many thanks to Rodney Campbell for the reference photo.
