Hey do you have any tips on how to get proportions right? (other than practice of course lol) Thanks and I love your art!

Hi! Thank you! So other than lots of practice, there is an instructional artist named Christopher Hart, who has a bunch of art instruction books on tips and techniques in doing various things. He has one on proportions of the human figure and face. I find it very helpful to people who are just starting out. Once you have the basics, it’s easier to adjust and build up on it. Hope that helps!

Haha Thanks! I have actually been able to show a couple of them to Kate directly so don’t worry yourself with it! Thank you!

Merry Christmas Whovians friends! Here’s yesterday’s sneak peek drawing in all its glory, but it’s still not finished yet. I want your opinions on what I should add in the space beside her! The tardis? Companions? A planet? Drop a note and let me know what you want to see!

Hi there! First of all, I love your art, it's amazing. Second of all, I want to ask something. How do your colours end up so well saturated? It's like you use markers or paint, but on your photos I see only pencils. Are they just better quality? Do you use a special technique? Does it have to do something with paper? Oh god, I need answers.

Hi! Glad you enjoy my art! So I actually use a couple of different mediums to get a smoother blend. My main go to medium as you mentioned are colored pencils in which I use a combination of Premiere Prismacolor and Faber Castell. They have really soft lead that blend super smoothly with a blender, or my personal favorite, a white colored pencil. If I really want to get that saturated hyper realistic look to my piece I’ll start with a marker base in which I use alcohol based Copic markers. As far as an special techniques, it’s really just years of trial and error practice in blending and character studies on facial expressions and figures. I’ve got hundreds of bad drawings for every 1 good one.

Here’s a sneak peak of my new Doctor Who work in progress. Merry Christmas Whovians!

[rjdrinksndraws]

Hello!

So I just realized that my last drawing of the 13th Doctor got me 50 new followers and over 2000 notes! That’s insane you guys! I’m sorry I don’t post a lot, but art is not my full time job and sometimes I don’t get a lot of time to do it. However, if anyone has requests, comments, or questions, please drop me a note and say hello!

[rjdrinksndraws]

The Doctor is in!

A while back an anonymous follower requested a drawing of this classic pose. Well, here ya go anonymous! Went back to my roots of monochrome graphite with color highlights for this one.

You should totally sell prints of your art because i sure as hell would give you all my money for one 😍

I am working on putting together a portfolio with a bigger variety of pieces and the hopefully will have some prints available.
