Still in my colored pencil phase at the end of 2020, so I created a series of "confinement chicken" postcards. These two contrasting breeds make great models but are much easier to sketch from photographs.
"Chicken in a Van Gogh landscape"
"Merry Chickens!"

These are all either Koh-i-noor or Polychromos on "Hahnemühle Nostalgie Sketch Postcards". The paper is 190g/m2 and 10.5x14.8cm. Hahnemühle is the only brand I have found that makes smooth postcard paper for sketching in pencil. I'm grateful but wouldn't mind seeing a slightly heavier version because I drop these in the mail without an envelope. Yet so far, everyone says they received their postcards in good condition.
