I still have quite a few of the legendary Karismas left - they have never been equalled really. It's like any art materials, it's a personal thing - you only have to read the art forums to see that :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14423986562925121890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16927229.post-80158458609214825912011-05-18T19:25:27.722+00:002011-05-18T19:25:27.722+00:00and here http://vivienb.blogspot.com/2008/03/sketc...and here http://vivienb.blogspot.com/2008/03/sketching-skull.htmlvivienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16820836660470146799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16927229.post-43536154669476425502011-05-18T19:24:31.507+00:002011-05-18T19:24:31.507+00:00I've never seen that book - clearly I need to!...I've never seen that book - clearly I need to!<br /><br />Yes I like quick sketches too Anita <br /><br />I like Polychromos best Michael and Lyra but use odds and bits of allsorts - some very old cheapie ones and the odd Coloursoft.<br /><br />The Lyra Skintones set has a wonderful variety of browns from almost black, through peachy, burnt sienna, a dull mauvey brown - warm and cool, light and dark. I wouldn't actually find them enough for doing 'skin tones' but they are great for an sort of sepia effect drawing with warm/cool.<br /><br /><br />you can see them here http://vivienb.blogspot.com/2008/03/sketching-from-life-with-coloured.htmlvivienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16820836660470146799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16927229.post-89075617450939860712011-05-18T17:06:48.094+00:002011-05-18T17:06:48.094+00:00I always find quick sketches so intriguing - how i...I always find quick sketches so intriguing - how it can take so little to say so much.
