Hi Dave, I’m drawing realistic with colored pencils. To me you are one of the view artists I really learn so much from. Thank you for sharing your amazing skills. ❤

[@susanbennetttellstales7998]

I agree. It took me a long time floundering around on KZbin to find some people I so enthusiastically wanted to follow and learn from. I guess there's a lot of material on KZbin that is more a demonstration than a tutorial, and not every skilled person is necessarily skilled in imparting skills! I was so happy to chance upon Mr. Porter's art and I'm looking forward to trying this one and so much more.

[@danwoods1347]

Thanks for another great lesson, Dave. Have you ever used sanded and toned papers? I prefer those and I was wondering if you had any tips on technique.

[@DavePortersArt]

Hi Dan, I Use Pastelmat dark grey, and I have used Senillier a la carte paper before... the technique is the same 😊🙏

[@kitsidale]

Im having one heck of a time keeping pastel pencils sharp. Pencil sharpeners blunt fast, i got a knife but that just keeps breaking the pastel part, and sanding causes a mess. Sigh 😕. Anyone have better methods?

[@DavePortersArt]

When you sharpen with the knife make I sure it is at least an inch before the tip... and slope it gradually. Here is a video where I show you how I sharpen them... kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYqqp4CQYrNjoNk all the very best 😊🙏
