In this video, I take you through a step-by-step process of creating a portrait inspired by nature, using the new, expanded range of Derwent Drawing pencils. 🌿

We’ll start with an unboxing, swatch some of my favourite colours, and then build the portrait layer by layer — exploring how the soft, nature-inspired colours can create depth, texture, and atmosphere. ✨

Their soft, creamy texture makes them perfect for smooth layering and blending. Made in the UK, they are also highly lightfast, to ensure your artwork retains its vibrancy over time. 💫
