Boo is a hamster companion from a video game called Baldur's Gate and his owner firmly believes he's from an all powerful race of space hamsters that have godlike powers

Well, his guardian, Minsc, believes Boo is Godlike but I doubt that anyone else in their group agrees

Boo! Little furry friend of one of the best characters from BG! I have a huge sentiment to Minsc! He was always in my team, when I was playing BG. I like the way You draw fur!Β

It has always been a real nightmare for me - drawing fur and hair.Β Β

Do you use blending sticks for shading? They make fur and hair a million times easier to draw.Β

Yes, but I discovered this fabulous tool quite recently. Shame on me! You're right, it is much easier to draw hair with it. Especially when you draw with colored pencils.

I had been using my fingers for the purpose of shading to begin with but you can imagine how messy that could get. Found out about the sticks by watching some random tutorial and I bought them right away. I'm pretty terrible with color pencils, largely due to the fact that I bought cheap ones just to practice with without realizing how much harder that is.Β

Oh yes, using fingers! Been there done that. But not for long, I mean my teacher from art school, which was teached me how to draw properly and only academic style - realistic I should say, was yelling at me everytime I used my fingers to blend pencil. So I stopped. And after all these years, despite I was quite frequent guest in shops with all this stuff to create art, I didn't realize that I could simply buy a blender. I personally like the one in a Β pencil from Derwent, but I heard that Derwent got another one in marker. And finaly - colored pencils - cheap does not always mean bad. Ewerything depends on how soft colored pencils You like. I'm working with Polycolor from Koh-I-Noor. They are not the cheapest I've ever seen, but very nice for begginers. And also in diferent sets, from 12 pencils to 72, You have also portrait set (this is the one I've got). Some nice colored pencils are also Giotto Stilnovo, or colored pencisl from Astra.

I've picked up a good bit of stuff from my dad since he's the actual artist in the family but rarely gets to do it now, with his job and all. Couldn't find his color pencils so I settled for what I could find without spending too much right away. I'll eventually get the proper pencils, markers and maybe a drawing pad to try out some digital work. As for pencils, I remember having Giotto and Faber Castel back when I used to draw a lot, in elementary school but they're nowhere to be found.Β

I know that Faber Castell has their own website, but I'm not sure if you can buy anything through it. Their products are also on Amazon or e-bay. When I was looking for a Prismacolor set for me, I saw a lot from FC, as well as Giotto.Β I don't know which countries they supply their products, in Poland I've got Faber Castell online shop. I think that They may be available in artists shops, stationary.

My bad, I expressed myself in a wrong way. What I mean was I couldn't find the ones I had used as a kid, which sucks because they were rather big ones if I remember them correctly. I'll probably get myself a more expensive set once I get confident enough with the ones I have now. The drawing I did of Chloe Price made me realize how little I know about blending colors to get natural skin/lip tones

Aha! Misunderstanding Β . From my experience with painting I remember that I mixed yellow ocher with red and white, but with pencils it is more difficult, because not everyone has the property that they allow you to overlap with layers. I am not a master in drawing with colored pencils, what is in my gallery is probably everything I have drawn them from the primary school and I am a happy owner of flesh-colored shades. But if you do not have them, you can experiment with a very light pink and light brown gently put on pink, then blend with a white pencil and you should get something similar to skin color. Interesting is also color shattering, I have no idea if it sounds reasonable in English, but I mean, that every color is not pure, and it depends on light tone and the way light is lighting things (haha, light is lighting sorry

I've been experimenting a bit with color pencils and I managed to get some decent skin tones, but the darker shaded parts of the face are kinda off so I'll see what I can do about that next time. I did the phoenix with yellow, red and orange but I'm not sure how I'd blend them to make a skin tone, maybe if I was drawing Hellboy
