Monster Sketch Rally at Spaces

This is one of Spaces' annual fundraiser events. Artists donate 1 hour of their time to create a piece of art, which will be displayed and other people can purchase it during the event.
Here are some photos from the event.

Museum Sketches

It's always a good way to learn forms by drawing without lines, and I don't do it enough. Finally get to have some practice today at the art museum with their sculptures.
p.s. wish I can find a better waterbrushes. I have Pentel and Niji waterbrush. The Pentel one works good for the first 30 minute or even an hour, but then it dries up, and when I squeeze the water reservoir, too much water starts flowing and won't stop for awhile, then it's good for a minute before dries up again. Niji is consistent with the water flow, except it's too much all the time. Should bring a small container of water to dip the brush next time, it may help. Of course it kind of defy the purpose of having a waterbrush with reservoir. :(

Round 2 Fight 2

Trying a oil-based pastel pencil, it's a lot of smoother glide than non-oil, but the color seems lighter. It'll take a little use to the smoothness.

Another round of gaia headshots

Medium: Charcoal pencil + colerase blue pencil Charcoal pencil is softer than pastel pencil, but it's the closest thing I have before I get my hands on Faber Castell's pastel pencil.

First Fight Round 2

The last air bender

A few sketches for Katara, Aang, and Zuko from Avatar the Last Airbender.
Medium: Pastel pencil and col-erase blue pencil

A little note about the pencils: Faber-Castell pastel pencil is the best so far. Derwent's pastel pencil kept breaking and jamming the pencil sharpener, Conte A Paris is too fat to be fed into a reuglar pencil sharpener, (not a big deal, got a knife), its texture is too coarse, felt like drawing with a burned piece of wood on concrete. Unfortunately the nearest store (Utrecht) that carries Faber Castell pastel pencil is 45 minutes away.

Also noticed FaberCastell's col-erase works great with charcoal and pastel pencil, even though it doesn't erase cleanly. Prismacolor's col-erase pencil gets erased really well, just like regular graphite, but it contains too much wax, and make it hard to go over with charcoal or pastel.
