Ofcourse it is written in the rules of this challenge to include the process of the drawing. Okay without further ado here's my drawing. The reason why i drew it this way because as we all know our fist is almost the same size of our heart if not exactly, in connection with that the meaning of my artwork today is to love your own country as the fist represents our heart/love and the flag color represents the country. Colored or toned paper is also a good way to add a particular mood to your artwork or enhance the luminosity of your colored pencils (if you use a dark surface).įor my full list of paper recommendations see my guide to the Best Paper for Colored Pencils, but here is a small selection of some of my favorites.Good Day Steemians, I am honored to participate in this drawing challenge of this week's theme is 'YOUR HANDS' for anyone who wants to join or submit your entry here's the link for this challenge > chose to draw my 'FIST'(hand) with the color of the Philippines flag my country. Illustration boards are a good choice if you’re into wet media or prefer a rigid surface. Sketchbooks are great for travel and practice, but usually contain cheaper paper.

Tape-bound pads are handy and economical (the paper peels off easily), but less common in large sizes. I recommend you get single sheets because the quality is usually better and you’ll be able to try out some different brands. drawing paper).įinally, you need to consider the form of paper you buy. Note: it’s best to use gsm over lb because it is comparable across different paper types (e.g. Look for a heavyweight paper that is at least 300 gsm or 140 lb. If the paper is lightweight, it will warp and buckle when it absorbs moisture. If you like to use solvents or wet media with your colored pencils (which is common with watercolor pencils), you need consider buying a heavyweight paper. If you employ lots of layering and enjoy the look of paper pattern or grain, go with a medium texture (also called cold press or vellum). Most people will prefer a smooth texture (also called hot press, plate or fine-grain), which allows for detailed work and easy blending. You also need to consider the right paper texture for your colored pencils.

I love you drawing
