My thought process when starting a new piece
Added 2019-10-15 20:48:48 +0000 UTCI thought this might be useful for you, sharing my thought processes when starting a new drawing. What paper will I use and why, how will I create a background, the colour of the paper, and make of the pencils etc. This all goes on in my head before I start and a piece and actually as I'm in the early stages of starting. I have often actually started and then scrapped it and used a different surface. My messy attempts at creating the background will follow - and it is messy and not very successful lol!

Ha ha!! I think it’s good to think out loud - but it does make me sound totally mad 😂😂

And it makes me feel so much better that you question your choice of materials and don’t just “know” straightaway, what the best combination is. I’ve only been a patron for a month and done a few focus tutorials. Might have to move up a tier....I want to do this pretty kitty on drafting film!

The duralar doesnt' take the slice tool very well, but still works beautifully with the eraser. I like the grafix sheets of drafting film as I can choose my size, plus it's much thicker than polydraw. You need the double matt film. I havnet heard about inkjet coating - wonder if that's the mylar one?
