Dog Eye Tutorial

Posted on by Zara Toms
Another focus study tutorial coming up on Patreon is this dog eye. This is a photo of my own dog, Maisey's eye. I chose this because of the colour and contrast. The highlight and shadows are striking and I thought this would be perfect for this study. Over on Patreon I have a variety of videos. I am having my website redone and modernised to have a Patreon Library where you can easily find the...

Muntjac – NEW!

Posted on by Zara Toms
Over Christmas I completed this Deer portrait. Something different in that me and my husband sat down and did the same drawing together. For someone who hadn't tried drawing before I was really impressed with his finished portrait. I'll share them on a later post as he did an initial attempt without any help from me and then for the 2nd attempt I gave him 15 minutes of tuition. It was really rew...

‘Festive Robin’ SOLD

Posted on by Zara Toms
This little guy made it off to its new home yesterday :). I loved working on this smaller piece and plan on doing a few more like this. When I planned this Robin I had lots of off cuts of my pastel paper, Pastelmat. I hate seeing waste and this paper due to its high quality is not cheap. So I started to come up with ideas on how to create smaller pieces but still ensure I captured the level of d...

New Patreon Tutorials

Posted on by Zara Toms
I have been super busy working on new content for my Patreon channel. I have so many video ideas I want to upload. Something that I will be starting is video clips of me drawing and talking, explaining what I am doing while I am doing it. Although this is very similar to my actual tutorials where I have in depth voice over throughout, these other clips will enable me to focus on aspects of the po...

March’s Patreon Video

Posted on by Zara Toms
My Patreon has been live for nearly 1 month! It's been something I am thoroughly enjoying. Creating content has been a new challenge - some days technology really hates me! but I got there :D. My pastel tier (soon to have an acrylic tier, fingers crossed) mentioned 1 video upload a month. But when it launched on the 1st February there was already a library of content to watch which I had been b...
