My favorite colored pencils are the Polychromos by Faber Castell.

New prints are getting ready for a new home. In this package this tiger print hides.

How to draw heads

Sometimes you just need to go back to basics. I find it helpful to always keep practicing to draw the head from different angles. It's something I find challenging but it such a nice feeling when you get it right!

Andrew Loomis' book Drawing the Head and Hand is a favorite I often go back to.

I often use baking paper for sketches. In that way I can easily trace it and work more quickly.
