My prismacolor pencils finally arrived yesterday, weeee! I’ve been playing with them the last few days, mostly trying to figure out how to blend them. I still need to buy paper stumps and a decent pencil sharpener (argh, I have like the half of 2 or 3 pencils because of a crappy sharpener)

And you also get a sneak-peak of an upcoming project (pssst, Patty ;). My sketchbook is a standard sized notebook with unlined sheets (20×25 cms 50 grs paper).

I have no fancy sketchbooks, though I’d love to have a watercolor paper/heavy weight paper one, but I’ve looked for years and the only thing I’ve found is 90grs Bond paper. But it works pretty well because it’s the same size as the rest of my notebooks and I don’t feel guilty to discard a page if a drawing turns out awful.

That little birdie is a Chincol (Rufous collared-sparrow) which is a little sparrow very common in my city, I see it everyday at my faculty because it eats everything and it’s very confident around people. I really like it, and it’s not the first time I’ve used him on a project.

I hope to work a little more on this card over the weekend :)
