Always nice to see another sketcher from this neck of the woods! Lovely work, especially with the Blue Tit. I'm going to hazard a guess and say you use Derwent pencils...?

It was a 50:50 guess! I made a thread on here about the pencils available in Australia recently. Luckily, Prismacolor seem to be becoming more available. I like the range of shades in Derwent and F-C, but find the leads to be a bit hard. However, you can't beat them for the range of skin tones.

Thanks very much Graham, the kookaburra is my favourite too I think. Colonelboris, Prismacolor were the first coloured pencils I bought but I found them a bit too soft, my sharpener just ate them up. I haven't tried Derwents before but would be interested to give them a go.

Thank you oivind, I'm glad you like my drawings

welcome to the art section, these are very nice indeed, beautifully subtle use of colours and the character of the birds are really done well.

Ah, the trick to Prismacolor/Karismacolor is to give them two turns at most, but they do wear down quick.
