Sketch of the Day: Bagel

 There's nothing quite like trying out new art supplies for the first time. An order of Prismacolor Premier coloured pencils arrived today from Currys in Mississagua. These are professional-quality pencils, and a totally different experience to, say, one's beloved old Laurentiens. This sketchbook has pretty tiny pages. This picture is to scale. Detail is difficult since the leads are so nice and soft. Prismacolor has another range of hard lead pencils called Verithin that would work great if you're illustrating tiny things like this, or if you need extra texture or detail in your work.
