Vivid Scales
Bright colours, sharp pencils, happy artist 🌈✏️

When your coloured pencils decide to go full tropical. Well, I have to start using all of the bright colours somewhere. Faber Castell Polychromos on drafting film. Ref photo used with kind permission J Cameron. #art

[AnArtThing by Karen @anartthing]

Diving into all the colours for this one 🐟🌈. Well I do need to start drawing with all of those Faber Castell Polychromos that very rarely get used, don't I? 😂
