#27What paper do you use for your fish and other colored drawings? Which works well for the Faber Castell Polychrome, since I have these colored pencils?
Thank you

#28I use Strathmore Bristol 300 series, I prefer the smooth surface paper. I started with watercolor paper but did not like the rough texture so migrated to the smooth paper. Good luck have fun.
Re: Fish sketches
#29Do you first do the drawing in pencil and then use colors?
What are the steps to get the final outcome? Thank you.

Re: Fish sketches
#31I usually do a rough sketch or outline of the fish with pencil just to get the right shape and proportions. I then use the color pencils for everything else from there out. The scales are very tedious and is often the part that I do not find very fun or enjoyable so I try to work on that in manageable periods of time rather than hours on end.

#33Such a gift it is for artists to be able to convey an image in their minds eye to paper or canvas. My admiration for such talent is immense. I never tire of seeing such beautiful renderings - thank you for sharing!
