Drawing Teeth

(9x12) I Love Her by Amber D'Amato

I always hated drawing or painting teeth, but here is a growth piece. I drew teeth! I did it! I did it!

I started with a 2H graphite pencil, filled in the hair and other items with pen ink, and finished with Sennelier Oil Pastels in certain areas.

I discovered rubber color shapers! I wish I had known about color shapers sooner. I spent so many years rubbing my finger pads raw. They also help with giving sharp lines. They can be also used with paint.

I believe that discovering new art supplies, mediums, and tools for art keeps you fresh and inspired.

My Favorite Art Supplies for Pencil Drawings

Drawing of Zoe Kravitz by Amber D'Amato Instagram Reel of Zoe Kravitz's Drawing Woodless Graphite Pencils by Koh-I-Noor This 12-pack of woodless pencils has 6 different grades: HB, 2B, 4B, 6B, 8B, and 9B. I love these pencils because you can achieve a wide range of depth of dark and light. The only thing that would make this pack better is a 2H pencil. I like to lightly sketch out a drawing on paper before I commit to darker graphite that is harder to erase. This pack was $20 but I had a half-off coupon, pretty awesome for $10. Especially since I love them.  Woodless Colour Pencils by Koh-I-Noor Koh-I-Noor's Woodless Colour Pencils usually go for $20, but I found them in the clearance section of Michaels for $5. I don't think anyone knows how great they are, I certainly did not. They are fun to color in a coloring book, newsprint paper, and regular sketchbook paper. I have yet to use them on better quality paper. The colors are vibrant, nothing special, but what makes t...

Ink Pens from fiVE BEL°W

  fiVE BEL°W I wanted to see if fiVE BEL°W art supplies were worth the money.  The short answer?  Yes, if you will be using them to write a quick note or sketch.  It is not worth the money if you want to use them for an art project.  Discover the reasons by reading further below. Blueberry, Kiwi, Cedar Wood, Sea Beach, Sandalwood, Patchouli,  Coco, Jasmine, Jasmine Tea, Gardenia, Just Peachy, Lemonade,  Vanilla Bean, Rose, Bubble Gum, Watermelon. SCENTED FELT TIP PENS INK QUALITY: While the ink exhibits a smooth flow on paper, its pigmentation is lacking, resulting in insufficient coverage. It requires multiple layers to achieve a solid, vibrant color, and even then, the saturation falls short of the desired intensity. However, I do like how l ight and comfortable it is to hold. THE SCENT: Good news, I don't think this will end up being the gateway drug for the little ones. It had a nice quality to it like a subtle version of Strawberry Shortcake &...
