There's no regular Office Hours this week, but we're very pleased to present the first episode of an awesome new mini series "The Art Show" from loyal patron and friend of OHL, Brian Bonelli and his special guests/friends of OHL Ashley Brown, Ellie Hajdu, and Sarah Reeds.

This 6-episode instructional art series is for all ages and skill-levels. Using Art Garfunkel as their muse/subject, they hope to demystify the whole creative process and prove once-and-for-all that ANYONE can draw.  

In this debut episode, Brian Bonelli breaks down the steps needed to render Art Garfunkel with colored pencils. Stay tuned for more episodes in the coming weeks.

Here's the reference image so you can draw along at home!

If you have any questions or comments, sound off below, or hit up Brian on Twitter at @thebrianbonelli


We'll be back to our regularly scheduled programming next Thursday 3/23 at 10am PT with guest host Neil Hamburger along with lots more fun and surprises!

talking about prismacolors and blending. I have used vaseline to help with blending with success. I just dip the tip of the pencil to get a small amount and use the pencil like normal. I'm still early in this vid so if this was mentioned, I'm sorry. lol

It wasn't! Thanks for the tip. I'll try to remember to bring this up in the next episode.
