Today I tried the hummingbird from the “3 little birds with coloured pencils” course.
I used Derwent Procolour on Pastelmat.

Derwent Procolour are coloured pencils. (Sorry, should have mentioned that!)

Great! Procolors are wax-based, right? To me, the finished blending seems to be a touch too white-waxy, if you understand, what I mean, but maybe it is just my screen that changes the colors too much.
Anyhow - I love the litte humming bird,
Thanks for sharing,
Buddy

Thanks. It might be the actual photo, because the Pastelmat looks pretty pale on the photo when in reality it’s dark blue/grey. I’ve only just bought the Procolour pencils and I was surprised how bright they look on a dark background. I’m pretty much a beginner and I’m trying out different materials on different backgrounds.
Great job! I especially like the eye. I’m getting ready to start this little hummingbird, too…thinking of using black watercolor paper (300gsm) by Legion or perhaps PastelMat. I’ll be using Polychromos & Prismacolor Premier since I don’t have Cd’A Luminance in those colors. Love your hummingbird
