Water soluble colored pencils

[Llehlla]

more weirdness

Seriously, this is a fascinating drawing. The fact that you know HOW to draw bodies correctly allows you to venture into “weirdness” without losing the viewer. I can tell what’s what even though you’ve moved them into a sort of “collage.”
Again, skilled artistry, a creative mind and imagination, and a dash of humor make this easily identifiable as an I.M.FAUVE work.

 

[THROBBS]

Thank you, very kind.

How 'bout them water souble colored pencils? LOL

(it's ok to diverge and follow the crumbs)

My favorite, or most utilized, feature of those pencils is — spit. You don't "have " to use water and a brush, I often simply lick my finger and smear. I like to lick. *featured in one of my illustrated stories.

 

[THROBBS]

You have a wonderful imagination! You draw completely unique images. You come up with scenes that, at least to me, are brand new. I like that so much more than the same old subjects shown in artless ways.

Maybe in style…but I don’t come up with things like a guy in a bottle or your fairy/cock scene.

(Back OFF track)


Not all THAT "completely unique" — I just saw this posted "up front". LOL
They must have seen my work. hee hee


Now... back ON track.

I haven’t tried the spit and/or lick, but I have tried dipping the pencil tip in water and then rolling, dragging, crushing and/or smearing it onto the paper. Good way to express intensity.

Some more lickin'

Dancer, huh?

If I remember correctly, Faber-Castells & Staedtler pigment liners (watertight, and also available in a small(!) number of colors), used for the Henna tattoos.

Have you ever used Water soluble colored pencils?

I loves them!

If you have, what brand is your favorite?

Prismacolor, Derwent, Faber-Castell, Caran d-Ache, Crayola...?
I think I have some of all of those and pretty sure that Derwent and Caran d'Ache have the most saturated colors.
I find that to get the most out of them, as one might expect, one should use a good quality paper with some tooth.

I really need a better (faster) orgianization system tho'. Especially when "on the road". jumbled in a box is not very efficent.

Ive used them and love them. I dont remember what brand though. Lol. Inktense maybe?

I like Drewent and Caran d'Ache. Work best on cold pressed watercolur pare, 300 lbs .

 

[THROBBS]

300 lbs! OOF!
Couldn't even lift that!

 

[gsnowpainter]

It will give you a lift when your artwork turns out well. But seriously, the 300lb is the paper thickness.

Sorta. It's the weight of the ream of paper, where a greater weight generally translates to thicker paper.

Seems a bit of overkill for water soluble colored pencils, unless you are really saturating them.

There is always one dickhead isn't there?? (#61)

Just stopped and chatted with an older gentleman in a coffee shop who had a leather briefcase open on his table and was using water soluble pencils and a brush filled with water. Loved the setup! Businessman turned artist

Wait, was that ME!?

Oh... no, I haven't used a waterfilled brush in a while. In the café I'd get a water glass and use a regular brush.

If you think of black paper: My favorite water-soluble white pencil is from Koh-I-Noor Hardmuth's Mondeluz series, it's both the most opaque, while soft enough to not scratch the paper too much and, given it's aquarelle paper, you can blur it.

Here's some pipe dream done with that pencil. (Colors were done with Faber-Castell's Metal Colours Pencils)

Just bought a set of 3 water fillable brushes... at MENARDS!!!?
I was getting a whole mess of project stuff, including a quart of oil based primer and there was a section of art/craft supplies. I'd never seen before. Good prices. SO... I'll have those on hand.

I HAVE water fillable brushes (somewhere), but ART SUPPLIES!!!!! yay!

I was with a friend. We asked what he was painting because he kept looking across the room at us. Turns out he was painting a lighthouse but admitted he was staring because attractive women (not me, my friend. She was like don't look! And I'm that friend who looks )
