New Members Info

I'm updating a few things in Patreon, and one thing I'm working on is a New Member Pack. Whilst I'm working on it I wanted to create a post that had lots of information for you as a new member with links to posts that would be really useful. 

Core Pencil List
This is a PDF document with all the pencils I use, pencils and colours are very personal, I try to let you know exactly which pencils I use, and if I can, give alternatives. I would highly recommend you look at purchasing Karen Hull's Coloured Pencil Conversion and Comparison Chart, I'm saving the link here for you if you'd like to purchase it. https://www.karenhullart.com/Pencil-Charts-and-Kits.php

The pdf of my core list of pencils is attached below.

Hints and Tips documents
I've attached below some pdf documents that I think might come in useful. These are just basic step by steps. I am starting to add full step by step guides to all of the tutorials I'm creating so you can use those as stand alone documents or alongside the videos.

Good Tutorials to start - showing basics of coloured pencil

I've also included an attachment called Patreon Links which takes you to a spreadsheet of links to all my tutorials on Patreon, making them easier to find all in one place.
