Day in the Life of an Artist | Coloured Pencil Pet Portraits

Here's a glimpse into a typical day in the life of a self-employed professional artist. My days never look exactly the same, however this gives you an idea of what I get up to on an average day.

That was a very enjoyable look into your art studio and process for your day. Thank you for sharing that.

I'm really interested in your camera boom setup - mine is perfectly functional but yours seems so much cleaner. Do you have the details of the boom arm? Thanks so much!

Hi Glenda! I’ll drop the links for you, it involves 2 separate parts of a clamp and an arm ☺️ Clamp: Manfrotto 035 Ftc Super Clamp www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0039IABF4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fabc_X2G6G7Z3WK4TVK280J3E Arm: Manfrotto 196B-2 Single Arm 2 Section with Camera Bracket, Black www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000OPWSYM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fabc_TP224QZ6521D093622AX Hope this helps!

Great work, when you say that the Fabriano paper is smooth do you not have issues building layers if there isn’t much depth to the tooth of the paper?

[@shannonmullin]

Thank you! It’s smooth as in it isn’t super grainy but it’s got enough texture to allow the layers to build well. I always put a solid layer of colour down first and that allows me to build 2-4 layers on top! Hope this helps 😊

@@shannonmullin - good to know, i’m using a Stonehenge pad at the moment but i might have to try out fabriano which i’m sure is better quality, thanks for the info

[@shannonmullin]

@@Conda17 I’ve not tried many different papers because as soon as I tried Fabriano it was close to perfect for me! Definitely worth a go, I hope you get on well with it too 😄
