Dragon Sketchbook Session! - Filling a spread with colourful dragons

I think most affordable markers don't have super pale colors, especially water based, because they are marketed towards kids and newer artists. It's just my opinion that vibrant colors are more attractive to kids and stuff.

The last ones are my favourite - I love their pose. But all of them are so cute, I adore how you draw dragons! Recently I've gotten really into using polychromos pencil crayons - using them to draw anything and everything really!

The purple and yellow dragon ended up so pretty!! I was drawing my favourite character while watching :)

I. LOVE. NEOCOLORS they're buttery smooth even without the water stuff. I've used them a lot over the years, so I can share a few wee tips a) if it's a muddy color issue, then choosing the initial color layout is key. (versus layering them like watercolor) b) using a glass surface (maybe ceramic but i haven't tried) you can scribble your colors onto it, then add water. Not super efficient usage wise but I've seen others mix colors with them this way c) Along the lines of not being able to find light colors - using a water brushpen you can just directly pick the colors off the pastel, it goes down pretty evenly! it's also less pigmented too, if you're specifically looking for those super light shades just to add some shadows

I love your sketchbook series soo much!! All of your drawings inspire me so much and your dragons are so cute!! Thank you for making such amazing art!

I love your art style and your use of colors! 👍 😊

The way u draw dragons are adorable! (I was also drawing a reference sheet for an oc of mine while I watched) 😊

I LOVE the pink and beige dragon ❤

AH I'm a little late but I love the way you draw dragons <3 their poses are so cute too

I like the beige dragons, but I also really like the expression of the pink dragon🐉

My current favorite sketchbook is a random one I bought at Joann.I love the way it feels with color pencil and watercolors. I like the purple and pink dragon the best My favorite things to draw is just fan art right now and doing oil painting faces

I am also drawing dragons! Will probably be colouring them with Ohuhu's because I just got the Honolulu 320 pack and I LOVE them! I use a canson XL mixed media sketchbook and I also love to use acrylics so the bleed through of the markers doesn't bother me! Love your art as always!! The way you stylize creatures, both fantastical and real, is my favourite part of your channel!

that frog plush is EPIC

Love the opening music.

I'm recently getting back into drawing in my sketchbook! I got myself a 24 set of Maped markers (which I assume are like the crayola water based markers) and yeah. I definitely prefer water based over alcohol based because they don't bleed through the page <3

i have been drawing portraits, some gesture drawings.i like the natural colored dragons.

I think it depends on the paper- mixed media papers tend to be better. But when I want to add water to the caran dache/ water soluble markers I use the fancy caran dache palette- it has a rough side for picking up the colour from it. At the same time though, its meant to have a messy textured look.

I’ve used both copic and ohuhus profusely, and honestly I so much prefer Ohuhus. They hold so much more ink, and I like their nibs better. Ohuhus actually come in a ton of super light colors you just have to get the right set. The only bonus of copics are that you can buy singulars in stores which is super nice and mainly the reason I do sometimes still reach for them. (Copic does have better desaturated colors tho)

Love the dragons. The blue and purple bab is definitely my favorite tho.

I believe Ohuhu does have a set of pastel markers! I’m not sure how wide the range is or if there are any doubles with your current set but hopefully it lightens your options!
