Some projects in the colored pencil book I'm working through ask for various shades of gray. My 36-color Prismacolor set doesn't have any grays, just black and white. What should I do? Fake it by varying pressure with the black colored pencil or graphite?
It’s been a challenging month, and I haven’t had a lot of success with my gouache painting lately. So I decided to go back to my old style of doodling cats and aliens on black holes with ink and colored pencils, where life makes sense and I know what I’m doing.
Infinite Holes with Two Cats
Doodle No. 139
Watercolor pencils, ink, mica paint on 6” square cotton paper.
I feel like all that time I’ve been practicing shading is starting to pay off.
Sitting atop a fractal surface of black holes, Tribert tries to make Adenine, one of the molecules in DNA, but he didn’t get it quite right, probably because he got distracted by the cats. Maybe next time, Tribert.
Tribert Tries to Make Life
Doodle No. 140
8” square
Ink, highly lightfast (fade resistant) watercolor pencils and paint, and mica paint on Arches 300 GSM 100% cotton paper
Dream Path, colored pencil and digital art. I woke in a dream. Stone stairs I knew not beckoned me follow. Pondering I gazed. Magic danced in the sky, evermore enticing. What venture awaited me I'll never know, awakening too soon.

If you’re a color nut like me, you know that last week, Pantone named their 2024 Color of the Year, Peach Fuzz. So for this Color Wheel Wednesday, I had to make a color wheel inspired by peach. I really like peach. It was my grandmother’s favorite and my mom digs it too. It’s warm and cheerful. It’s a color of warmth and hope. #color#MathArt#WaterColor#ColoredPencil
Watching @molly0xfff livestreaming her thoughts on the SBF trial, I drew a sketch that makes her look a bit like a cyberpunk protagonist #art#ColoredPencil
