The Staedtler Ergosoft pencils are a budget brand and they come in sets of 12, 24 and 36 and you can get them open stock (singles) but only for the ones included in the 12 and 24 sets at the moment. The new ones from the 36 set are not yet available. The pencils are […]
I thought this book would be more advanced than other colouring guides I have, but the steps are actually really simple to follow. The guides all use prismacolor pencils but I just used the equivalent from polychromos. There is information on materials, money saving hacks, some information about pencil brands and elements of art. Then […]
I only have the tweleve pastel tone set of these pencils at the moment, so it is those that I will base my review on. Only having twelve means that I often combine them with other pencils and find that they work really well with my polychromos. I used them for the buildings in the […]
I am still obsessed by World’s of Wonder but have mixed things up a bit this week! I was lucky enough to be gifted two sets of pencils from my gift list so I reviewed those during colouring tutorials and I did a picture from the 2021 planner and one from Miniature Enchanted Forest as […]

I release a video tutorial each day on YouTube and thought it might be useful to give you a weekly roundup of what I have been doing so that you can catch up. This week everything has been from Worlds of Wonder as everyone (including me) is obsessed by it! The exception is Monday where […]
If you are looking to improve your colouring techniques, then Helen Elliston has produced a series of books that can help you. There are four books in the series and they all cover different things. I find that there are always some things in them which I can apply to Johanna Basford books, but I […]
I would say that these are probably my favourite brand of pencil. They were the third set that I used and I have kept using them ever since. They sharpen to a good point which I like and they have a good variety of colours in the 120 tin. They do not smoosh and blend […]
