Blog Post: Colour palette update!! 🍊🍇🌼🩰 (Patreon)

Hi!! 😊

Since it has been a while since I made an updated post about all the colours I'm using in my illustrations, I thought I would make a new blogpost with a new overview of all my favourite brush pen and pencil colours!

If you are new to drawing with brush pens & pencils and want to start with a basic colour palette, I recommend you to go to this post first:

New colours ❤️

From left to right, here is an overview of the new colours I got the last couple of weeks:

Tombow 990 (Light Sand): This colour is almost the same as my Ecoline Pink Beige (374). I wanted to have a Tombow version as well, though this one is a little bit darker.

Tombow 933 (Orange): I am currently working on a children's book, and they wanted me to use very bright colours.

Tombow 985 (Chrome Yellow): Same reason as the orange one. I wanted to see which one is the best fit!

Tombow 020 (Peach): I wanted a lighter yellow brush pen, and this one is perfect for when I want to draw subjects like lemons or yellow flowers!

Faber-Castell 108 (Dark Cadmium Yellow): I didn't have an yellow pencil, so this one is a great addition to my colour palette!

Faber-Castell 133 (Magenta): Because I didn't have a purple pencil and also because of the children's book! I love it so much already!
