Drawing Dog Eyes on Drafting Film with Coloured Pencils

This is the beginning of my poodle tutorial - real time with full voice over showing the first stage of drawing a poodle with coloured pencils on drafting film.
I talk through the materials I use, and then talk you through the whole process of drawing the eyes - on both sides of the film.
I've used Caran Dache Pablos, Faber Castell Polychromos, Tombow Mono Eraser and the Slice Manual Pen Cutter. It's all drawn on Grafix Duralar film
If you want to see the whole five hour tutorial showing how I create curly fur on the film, head over to my Patreon channel - this one is on the $5 tier where you'll also have access to the last 8 months worth of videos.

Just watched to see how drafting film is used. I’ve got some Polydraw film so will be trying it out 😃 Thank you !

[@BonnySnowdonAcademy]

I hope you love it :)

[@dakotablessings]

What brand of drafting film do you recommend? Love your videos !

[@deejay2838]

What an amazing process to watch taking shape. Am really enjoying watching how this piece takes shape, I will be watching. Do you need to use a fixative on it when finished? Thanks for sharing this tutorial on this paper. 💗🐕

[@BonnySnowdonAcademy]

Thank you :) no you don't need fixative

Love your videos! You are great at getting the curly fur look beautiful.❤ Which type of dura-lar drafting film are you using? I just have the clear glossy for the overhead at the moment. Couldn't figure out which one works with colored pencils. Also I only work with charcoal and ink atm, but have started getting supplies for colored drawings and so interested in what your favorites are when it comes to pencils? (I've already bought some faber castell polychromos)

[@chris.369]

It’s double matt. 😉

Hey Bonnie- wonderful tutorial! What kind of projector do you use? Thanks!

[@BonnySnowdonAcademy]

I recommend the Pico Genie 🥰

[@carolb789]

Thanks very much I love your work . I’m just going to start my first colour pencil drawing. I”m thinking of getting a projector to improve my accuracy. Could you tell me which one you use? Thanks

[@BonnySnowdonAcademy]

thank you :) I use the artograph inspire - I'm not sure that they still make them though. You could try to get hold of an artograph flair though :)

[@carolb789]

Bonny Snowdon Fine Art Thankyou. I will look into this. Look forward to seeing more of your great videos

[@drussll47]

I use a light trace pad for accuracy it works great for this!

[@tracyheath6076]

Love your work! Thank you very much for making these videos. I desperately want to learn. I have all these expensive colored pencils and want to be able to make pictures come alive with them!!!!

[@BonnySnowdonAcademy]

Tracy Heath thank you 🥰 I teach over on Patreon If you ever thought about joining 🥰

[@myapinion7532]

What is drafting film? And what is polychromos? Is it a brand name, or is it what the central part of the pencil is made of? I quite often hear people saying polychromos but I've no idea what it means. Thanks for any info.

[@pamelad4116]

What patreon level includes the video on the Fjord foal? Thank you.

[@BonnySnowdonAcademy]

It’s the $10 one 😊

[@pamelad4116]

Do you do anything besides pencil? I have found I do really well with charcoal/graphite pencils, color pencils. But when it comes to doing watercolor, I have difficulty.

[@BonnySnowdonAcademy]

I only use coloured pencils :)

[@emily.thatsit7281]

Angela Fehr is a nice watercolor channel that I have found and refer to quite often if you are still looking for help

[@patknight12]

What projector do you use?

[@BonnySnowdonAcademy]

I use the artograph inspire 1000 :)

[@helenmarshall5705]

Would this work similarly on Yupo paper?

[@BonnySnowdonAcademy]

I have some yupo and no it's not the same - I'm sure you could get good results though :)

[@helenmarshall5705]

@@BonnySnowdonAcademy Thanks for taking the time to answer. I'll have to get some drafting film, but I think I'll see what the Yupo does too.

[@BonnySnowdonAcademy]
