I’ve had a fun day in my studio and I wanted to share this video with you all!

So here’s a little studio session, unedited and in real time, where I use a couple of cropped images from larger works as inspiration/jumping off points for new explorations.

In the first sketch I use a white oil pastel from Meeden and Daler Rowney Acrylic ink in Indigo. I mention in the video that this is a really old bottle of Indigo and the color seems to have changed a LOT in recent years!

In the second exercise I use mostly Caran d'ache neocolor 2s and a touch of ink and colored pencil.

Hope you enjoy! Let me know in the comments if you’re inspired!
