Toothbrushes are interesting! by Marjorie Firth

Beautiful Marjorie 🙂

So pretty, so well done.

Thank you both - I’m frustrated with the paper!

So cute, Marjorie, aren't they just.

Delightful Marjorie. Have you tried Bristol board? I’ve done a few pencil sketches on it and it’s nice to draw on.

Delightful Marjorie.

Thanks Lesley, Christine and Denise. No, never tried anything other than cartridge, can’t get the darks. Thanks for the advice Christine!

A lovely study Marjorie....adorable.

Lovely delicate drawing all the same… I recommended Strathmore Toned Gray paper to Russell a few years ago, he does much of his drawing on it now! Comes in two weights, I prefer the heavier one! It doesn’t have much of a tooth, but it’s lovely stuff for drawing in any medium!

Thanks Fiona and Alan - I have Strathmore grey, will try.

Nicely done indeed.

What a sweetheart. Captured so naturally, Marjorie.

Chris and Carole, thank you!

Gorgeous!

It's a lovely drawing Marjorie, don't agree with your 'bit rough around the edges' comment at all! As Alan said I use Strathmore Gray toned paper a lot but I also use Daler and Rowney's Fine Grain - heavy weight paper a lot too.

Thank you Romila, and Russell for your advice. I look forward to trying out some different paper, I always assumed cartridge was ok but it’s surprisingly hard to control the tones.

That light on her hair is beautiful Marjorie. That lovely pudgy toddler arm too. Wonderfully observed.

Ha ha, love that word ‘pudgy’, Rowena.

Great title and what a cutie Marjorie

Delightful and full of toddlery life

This is a lovely study, Marjorie - the tonal work and textures are beautifully done.

A beautiful drawing!

Thank you Heather, Martin, Seok and Anne.😄

A really lovely sketch, Marjorie.
