I also started late. At 35yo I decided to get a formal introduction to oil painting so I attended a class with a prof from China (she married a local businessman). Recently I go and meet her again for painting advice.

When I was at school I was known to be good in painting (watercolour and gouache). But once I entered uni I hid my painting talent from others, and after that I hardly paint.

If now I tell my friends I can paint, some of them will laugh at my face lol.

Impressive. What colouring pencil you used? Colouring as hobby?

Good thread! Will come for reporting my art work.

Yes. Currently I use Brutfunner and Luna Staedler (school grade). All budget pencils.

Superb work. 👏

Ok what every enthusiastic hobbyist memang spend a lot. Mine isn't super duper cheap either it's gonna reach to that point as well if I'm gonna splurge on more books and art supplies.

Getting ambitious this week. Hopefully I can finish one of these pages.

Finished this last night took me 2 days to colour it.
Background done with soft pastels (which resulted greenish effect on the clouds) it's so messy. Reaching balance between highlights and shadows still difficult.
I followed the hatching technique by the illustrator to add in the shadow areas but I can't get correct dark grey hue of the browns on the feathers too tired to swatch everything on paper. And the trees supposed to colour them in green instead of pink here they stood out really weird looking arrgghh.

Hey....looking very good. I like your colour choice.

Seriously? Why does it cost so much?

Bloodsuckers.

My opinion? Choose which ever path that makes you happy.

Its your outlet for release.

I'd stick with faber castell, luna or staedler though.

Diorama making?
