I've now had my twitter sell out moment. Was youth working last night and it was an awesomely good session bar some caveats. Best bit was, after fifteen years of doing shrink plastic artwork, I found out that water soluble pencils work on shrink plastic. Revelation!

((The sell out moment was that, when I dashed upstairs to get some more stuff for the session I did a twitter post to say about it. Shocking.))

Anyhow: couple of pics here. More to come when I get time to play again. They are a pig to shoot - wanted to focus on them more than background but seemed to have gone the other way but hey... They made me smile although I'm also giving them both away to friends today.

**one additional caveat I should have mentioned: I only had two inktense water soluble pencils on me (my new pencil of choice following a long focus on the other Derwent pencils I always forget the name of... Colourtint? Anyhow because I wasn't expecting to need them I only had two that I'd been doodling with earlier in my coat as well as the more standard Shrink Plastic standbys of the four colour lead ones and the normal WHSmits specials. Lesson learnt: next time charge enough materials budget to by Inktense pencils :) but that's the reason why the colour on these two pix are a little samey :)
