Showed your videos to my art teacher and we’re scratching our heads trying to figure out why you haven’t got a bigger following! This is gold. Two new subscribers 😊

Thanks Teresa, I’m definitely going to try the V strokes 👌 not done that before. I do noses like you too. 😁👍

Do you use prismacolor pencils? I see so many videos with polychromos.
Beautiful artwork!

[@TERESAJOYFINEART]

I've done an odd drawing with Prismacolor here and there but I mainly use Polychromos, Luminance and Pablo pencils.:)

Lovely. It's beautiful. Can you tell me which paper do you use?

[@TERESAJOYFINEART]

Thank you so much. This drawing was on Fabriano Artistico hot pressed watercolour paper! :)

[@janmay6455]

Stunning work! which sharpener do you use please?

[@TERESAJOYFINEART]

Hi Jan, I use the Swordfish Ikon 😊

Hi Teresa! Thank you for this very helpful video. I wondered what you would suggest for tackling a Valais Blacknose sheep fleece which is full of wonderful long curly locks?

[@TERESAJOYFINEART]

Hi Vivien, I am pleased that you like the video, thank you! Take a look at this tutorial: th-cam.com/video/2XBFhuAkBN0/w-d-xo.html where I'm drawing a Ryeland sheep. I know that Valais Blacknose sheep have longer locks but I would still use a very similar technique to draw the longer locks. I would add some colour first and then use a kneadable eraser to 'dab' out the longer locks (dabbing out downwards in the shape of the Valais' locks rather than 'clumps' of dabs for the Ryeland). Hope this helps!

Thank you so much Theresa, very helpful tips. I love that donkey ear - do you have the complete head drawn, or the whole rabbit?
It's utterly amazing what you are able to achieve - I can't get over it how your art is so real looking. I'm flashed🙏💕

[@TERESAJOYFINEART]

Thank you so much, that’s very kind. I do have the complete donkey tutorial on TH-cam but not the rabbit. 😊
