I will be at the Great British Family Fayre on the 31st August 2013. Why not come along?

I’ll be with Derwent Pencils, showing off their great products and showing how to draw all sorts of things.

To get you in the British mood, I thought I’d show you how to draw a British Pillar Box. There’s one of these on the corner of almost every street. It’s what you put your letters or mail in for the Post Office to come an collect and send to your frinds. You might call it a mail box. They are painted in “Pillar Box Red” except for one or two gold ones which are in the towns where Olympic Gold Medal winners live!

You can tell how high they are by the amount of black showing at the bottom. The more black, the higher they are. I learned this when I was younger and could not go past a pillar box without leap-frogging over it!

In this video I used my nice new set of Derwent coloursoft pencils.
