I'm so excited!! I went to HobbyLobby and found they have an excellant art section. I found this drawing book by (Polly) Lee Hammond, called Draw Real People! It looks really good. I thumbed through the 80 page book and thought this looks really good, so I bought it for 15 dollars. It looks expensive, but when I got it home and had time to look at it this next day, it is really good like that lady Kay and I went to online for drawing lessons. This lady is good like her. I can't recall her name. Brenda maybe. I would have to look. Lee also has a big book with all kinds of drawing lessons, not just portraits for only 8 or 9 dollars new. 240 pages. It's a combination of all her books. She also has hands and feet I want, but it might be in the big book, so I will most likely get that one. Kay, I found wonderful drawing pencils at HobbyLobby! I am so excited!!  I found one package that was regular pencils with 8 shades, the four shades most used there were two of each, so 12 pencils in all. Plus, it came with a metal sharpener just made for sketching pencils. Annnd it came with a carrying case for my pencils. It not only holds those 12 pencils, but it holds the 12 colored pencils I bought too! And the sharperner does well on them. The colored pencils werent' sharpened but the regular ones were. They are all graphite pencils. The pencil ones also came with a nice eraser that erases even the colored pencils, which my other eraser wouldn't erase those. I need to be able to erase color, because I make lots of mistakes. That's going to be a big help so I can use colored pencils. Also, this drawing book teachs both how to draw white ppl annnd black ppl, because I like drawing both. I love drawing black ppl's nose and lips. Those are so cool!!!! *giggles* I love eyes, nose, and lips the best. Okay. I'm weird. LOL Soooooo...... I'm so excited!!! I just can't hide it!!!! dadadadada I'm so excited!!!   Caroline |

 I am so exxcited for you!!!!!!!!!! It is fun finding things like that huh? I have rented a few of lee hammonds books and they are indeed very good! The lady you were thinking about was Brenda Hoddinut (sp) and on her site now you can see all her tutorials but have to pay if you want to print them out or anything. but you can see all of them (they had it to where you can only see like one every two weeks for free but I like that you can see them all now. Another book I would like to have is Mike Sibley's drawing line for line. He is in the UK I think and to get the book it costs about 75-80 dollars!!!! Oh well it is on my boy I would like to have that list. Hard spending that much money on a book though LOL Colored pencils are hard to erase. Especially the Prismacolor one. They have a erasable kind but I have never tried them And as far as good paper to draw on (when your are ready) get the bristol smooth. It is pretty coomon and you can probably get it at Hobby Loddy or Micheal's. It is a really smooth paper and great for doing portraits. Not as grainy as scetchbook paper. i could talk about art stuff all day LOL. I have done soooo much research and like to "window" shop by brwsing through the Dick Blick site. They have everything! LOL Most people like to window shop at the malls for clothes and such HA! Stick me in a art store and I am happy for hours LOL! I have jabbered enough. I want to see how your coming along! Blessings, Kay |

The colored pencils I have are called "Prismacolor" 12 in the box. and the eraser that erases them is called Faber-Castell. Then under that in red it says Dust-Free. On the back it says "for all black lead pencils", but it works on these colored ones too. I checked, and it works on the cheap colored pencils as well. I am really grateful! I'll have to check Brenda's site out again. I haven't been there in a while. Lee Hammond doesn't have anything on her site. Rent art books, huh? I haven't heard of that. |
