Скачать или смотреть Practicing drawing skills (some plein air) & trying Polychromos for the 1st time.

In this vlog I’m working on my drawing skills - mainly my pencil drawing skills - and I’m trying out my new Polychromos set for the first time on very nice blue/grey Canson Mi Teintes paper (plus some fineliner action). The subject is a tree in the Amsterdam Forest (Amsterdam being where I live). There’s a bit of plein air going on from last September, and me finally finishing this drawing at home, then continuing with the same subject at the beginning of the new year. I hope you enjoy it. Thanks in advance for watching!

Note. Anyone feeling triggered by mentions of the current war on my continent should stop watching at 12.40 minutes. I know some people come to YouTube just for relaxation, but I can't put a video up at the moment without at least acknowledging what's going on over there...

The materials used for the first drawing are:
Strathmore Mixed Media paper, 300 gsm (not sure why I used this paper...)
Grafwood pencil 2B + Faber-Castell eraser cap

The materials used for the second drawing are:
Canson Mi Teintes paper, sky grey, 160 gsm
Pigma Micron PN fineliner black 0.7 mm
