Utlah In reply to ebonytigress [2009-07-04 22:47:39 +0000 UTC]

Wow thank you so much I'm so pleased you like the effect, I got a little worried that for a brown dog there were a lot of other colours in there, but I suppose that's strong lighting for you..

Utlah In reply to Gironimo [2009-07-13 09:53:22 +0000 UTC]

Thanks so much for the comment, excuse my huge delay in replying! I'm not actually sure how long it took to draw.. one of these days I must clock my work, it's so on and off I always lose any sense of how long it's been. I'm so pleased you like

KaseySnowArt [2009-06-24 14:48:14 +0000 UTC]

So lovely. The art of using prismas to this effect eludes me, very impressive work.

Utlah In reply to KaseySnowArt [2009-07-04 22:48:56 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much Mostly I think it's just lots of layering, different colours repeated on top of one another, but the exact method is a bit sketchy even for me!

Ninjerina [2009-06-24 09:57:31 +0000 UTC]

Utlah In reply to Ninjerina [2009-07-04 22:49:46 +0000 UTC]

Thanks so much And yes, they're the normal premier open stock pencils I believe, they seem to work well on pastel paper

wow thats beautiful!
ha hey i have a random question...
do you recommend prismacolors? Because i'm just stuck with crayola at the moment and I was thinking of getting those...

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Utlah In reply to jazzicaljazzie [2009-07-12 21:10:09 +0000 UTC]

Thanks so much I definitely recommend prismas! They probably take a touch of getting used to, they are quite soft, but they are amazing, don't think I'd use anything else now
