Tombow USA X Deanna First sketching for Tiffany's / October 27, 2022 by Deanna First

Tombow Dual brush pens are my go to for my hair, skin-tone, and accents in my live sketch illustrations. This set was gifted by #tombowusa and I take them to every single one of my events across the country! #tombowambassador

I start off with their mono drawing pens in .03 for the outline and then I go in with my .01 for the fine details like facial features and interior line work. They glide so smoothly and are great against the white cardstock that I use. Grey Tombow dual brush pens are great for shadow work. I use then under the feet usually and accents on white clothing to make them pop and a little bit more realistic. #tombowpro #deannafirst

Tombow X Deanna First Cat Sketch / July 12, 2022 by Deanna First

I was thrilled to be gifted my favorite of all time Tombow Dual Brush Pens to create this cat sketch. #tombowpro #tombowambassador

I used the shade 847 for accents on her bandana as well as the cat bowl. You can use these on marker paper, watercolor paper or cardstock and it absorbs the colors great. Mono pens in 01 and size 05 were done for the outline. The border I always do in the thicker shade and the eyes, whiskers and mini details I prefer the skinnier line quality. You can even mix the Dual Brush pens with a bit of water for more of a watercolor effect if you feel like switching things up. :)
