Description So, as many of you already know, this is a remake of an older piece. I drew this one back in December/January of 2006, and it's actually colored with pastel pencils, not colored pencils. (Notice how different they are in vibrance and smoothness?)

So, I like it. I tried some different coloring approaches that I've been meaning to do, but get bored with. I didn't use one color to blend anything (except the colored sky around the sun), because for most of it, I wanted really different tones. Trying for a more life-like approach, I guess. There's lots that could be improved with this piece, but I like it and it's done cause I can't really change anything anyways. And dorky me, I forgot to include the glow around the phoenix. Yeah, I was mad at myself for that one. And the lighting tones on the horse were a lot trickier than I thought they'd be, but I think they turned out pretty awesome!

No reference used for anything, but many thanks to *pallanoph , *lantairvlea , and =scenceable , and everybody else who offered tips, suggestions, photo links and ideas on my sketch! You guys seriously saved this piece from being scrapped and I'm very grateful now.

This is amazing! What brand of colored pencil do you use? I've been looking for those colors for ages!

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Aryenne In reply to FleetastheWind [2012-02-03 01:00:11 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! I use mostly Prismacolor pencils. Pencils of other brands are usually listed with the brand name (I think LiquiMark is the only one other than Prismacolor I've used in awhile). While any craft and hobby store that sells art supplies has a decent selection, but I usually visit an actual art store that carries all colors currently being manufactured.

Hope that helps. You can also order them online. I've purchased pencils from Dick Blick on multiple occasions (I believe it's www.dickblick.com).

Thanks soooo much! I got a book on how to draw birds that used those color names and not once mentioned what brand they were, so that's why I wanted to know. Thank you!!!

Aryenne In reply to truffles147 [2010-12-30 07:52:16 +0000 UTC]

I sell prints for pretty cheap, if you're interested. I haven't made any cards of my work yet, but I could. Note or email if interested. Email is easier for me (as I get it on my phone); it's aryenne@gmail.com.

If you're not, you can always print up the image I posted here and give it to your friend, but it will retain the copyright symbol and my info. It's not bad quality for printing in smaller sizes.

This is wonderful it reminds me of the illustrations from a storybook...I think it was called "The Golden Mare, the Firebird, and the Magic Ring." Very nicely executed, the soft colors are brilliant!
