Have you ever drawn white fur on white paper?🎨 If you know which colors to choose and how to layer them, white on white can look really beautiful! Though in colored pencil this can be tricky, as it's easy to go too dark and difficult to correct mistakes. In the new Drawing club tutorial you can learn how to draw this tiger with me! It's over 8 hours and you'll learn everything about choosing colors, combining them and creating texture🐯 I hope you like this guy! To join the drawing, have a look in my bio🙂 #fabercastellpolychromos #whitetiger #tiger #tigerart #wildlifeart #coloredpencildrawing #coloredpencil #canson

I totally forgot to post this end result! This pastel tutorial has been available on my website for a while. It's a bit tricky because of the water, but very educational for all levels and I show every step and thought along the way😄 Instagram hasn't been as fun lately, so I'm slowly taking a step back from it and focusing more on my email letters and facebook. I know there are still some OG followers here liking and commenting though! Glad you're still here!👋 #frog #pastelmat #stabilocarbothello #pastelpotloden #pastelpencils #instaartist #kikker

The end result!🐼 You might have seen this drawing progress in my stories and it's now complete and available as a full real time lesson in the drawing club😁. This panda was a joy to make. I used colored pencils and pastel pencils together which creates a unique effect. The lighting on the face makes this project very educational and you'll learn all about creating contrast with warm, cool and complementary colors. What do you think of this guy? #panda #polychromos #pastelmat #stabilocarbothello #clairefontainepastelmat #wildlifeart #photorealism

Collection of leopards! Which one is your fave? I LOVE drawing leopards as they're a very rewarding subject if you get the hang of the coat patterns😄Hence why I already drew 6 for tutorials😎 All of these are available in the drawing club membership to follow along from start to finish. You'll learn exactly how to draw these beautiful coats in colored pencil, pastel and graphite😄 #leoparddrawing #realisticart #pencildrawing #luipaard #coloredpencildrawing #pasteldrawing #wildlifeart #howtodraw

The end result!🙂 This pretty guy is the newest addition to the drawing club membership. It's a 9 hour tutorial, so very suitable for everyone who wants to take their fur technique to the next level😃 We use the colored pencils combined with a dotting tool. Other than that no blending or burnishing techniques are used. All info about the drawing club can be found in my bio if you'd like to join! What do you think of him? #leopardart #leoparddrawing #coloredpencil #coloredpencildrawing #polychromos #wildlifeart #fabercastellpolychromos

Back in the day, when instagram was still new to me and drawing wasn't my full time job yet, I would post loads of sketches!😊 It's a shame insta doesn't support posts like this anymore, because having to come up with even more photorealistic drawings all the time and heavily editted reels, comes with lots of perfectionism that can be hard on and artist's creativity. Sooo I decided to go back to spending some extra time sketching, instead of creating reels. Making quick sketches like this is any medium you like, will definitely improve your skills and is also very relaxing! Let's keep posting our drawing photos😄💪🏼 Are you still posting photos of your art and how is it working for you? #horseart #horsedrawing #equineart #sharingart #equestrian #sketching #pencildrawing

New tutorial complete! 🎨 After drawing loads of birds, it was time to draw a big cat again. Or...part of it! This tiger eye study in colored pencil can now be found on my website in the drawing club membership and on Patreon the the Drawing club tier😁 In 4,5 hours you'll learn about drawing the eyes and building up the black, white and reddish-brown fur. A great one to prepare for a full big cat drawing! I hope you like this one! Links can be found in my bio🐯 #tiger #tigereyes #eyeart #polychromos #coloredpencildrawing #coloredpencil #animalart

I totally forgot to post this guy!🐢 This turtle is the newest addition to the drawing club membership's tutorial database. I drew him in pastel pencil and I might have exaggerated the colors a little bit😋. What can I say...I'm just really into colorful wildlife right now! The tutorial takes about 5 hours and you can follow along with all the steps, color choices and my ideas behind them. Link in bio, also available on Patreon. What do you prefer to draw currently? Pets or wildlife? @stabilonl pastelpencils on @pastelmat_clairefontaine 🙂 #turtle #turtledrawing #turtleart #pastelpencils #wildlifeart #drawingtutorial #howtodraw

Back from our holiday and ready to rumble!🎨 I'm looking forward to going back to the drawing board tomorrow. Upcoming week will be all about completing a puffin in colored pencil for the drawing club members. With this latest addition, the magpie-jay, the bird tutorial database is growing🙂 You'll find all kinds of bird colored pencil and pastel tutorials in the drawing club now, from the huge cassowary to the tiniest humming bird! After spotting loads of tropical fish in Egypt, I really feel lime drawing some. Maybe for a tutorial in march?🤔 For more info about the DC membership, please go to my bio! Emails will be answered again tomorrow😁 I'd be happy to help if you have any questions. What would you like to see as a marine life tutorial??🐬🐠🦈 #magpiejay #blackthroatedmagpiejay #coloredpencildrawing #polychromos #fabercastellpolychromos #birdart #learntodraw

Do you still look at photo posts or do you prefer reels? I'm curious! Even though I haven't been posting much myself lately, I still love looking at everyone's drawings. Especially the photos!🙂 Anyway, I completely forgot to post the end result of this guy. This is a 12x16" pastel drawing which is also available as a full tutorial for the drawing club membership. 12 hours of showing you exactly how to draw the fur and this incredibly detailed scarf!🎨 Interested in my lessons? Through the link in my bio you can get access to 2 FREE lessons from the drawing club, 1 in pastels and 1 in colored pencil. Both 2 full lessons with color list and reference included, so you can draw along. Enjoy!😀 #labradoodle #stabilocarbothello #pastelart #pastelmat #drawingtutorial #pencilart #dogart
