 Tombow markers
Regular pencil
 watersoluble colored pencils, (mostly graphi & metallic)
Tombow markers, some colored pencil








I really liked working in this sketchbook, but I think I need one with more robust pages.

Just got a few more pages before I finish this sketchbook. Then I can turn into Portrait Society Gallery for their fundraiser for The House of Peace community project.

 Colored pencil.

tombow markers, colored pencil, oil pastel.

Added oil pastel because I was having a hard time getting the colors I wanted.






Need to gesso all the pages in the sketchbook so I can use water to blend the colored pencils and markers easier. Otherwise the paper is too absorbent and it's too hard to soften edges.
