Doodle Gem Episode 11 How to Draw Ammolite

Hello and Welcome!

This is Episode 11 of Doodle Gems--Ammolite. 

I had so much fun with this doodle gem. I love how the colors shift and overlap. The variations in these gems are endless and no 2 will ever be exactly alike.

Ammolite is an opal-like organic gemstone found along the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains of North America.90% of all Ammolite is mined in Canada. A very small percentage is being mined in Utah.  It is made of the fossilized shells of ammonites

This realtime tutorial shows exactly the steps I used to make the doodlegem in the thumbnail photo above. It takes time, but it is not hard and doesn't require any expensive pencils to accomplish! I used all Crayola for the colors and one White Prismacolor Premier Pencil. Come along and try this gem out! I think you will have a lot of fun.

Materials I used:

Neenah Card Stock 110LB (bright white)

Crayola Color Pencils-

Mahogany

Yellow Orange

Golden Yellow

Lime Green

Yellow Green

Jade Green

Aqua Green

Green Blue

Turquoise

Cerulean

Navy Blue

Brown

Dark Brown

Black

Prismacolor

White PC 938

Sakura Pigma Micron 01 Black ink 

Uniball Signo UM-153 White Gel ink for the Highlights

Doodle Gems Episode 10 How to draw Turquoise

By Popular request here's my how to draw turquoise doodle gems video!

I hope you enjoy the show.



I really appreciate it when folks let me know they were here. Please leave me a comment and tell me your favorite stone or gem. You never know when it will be on my Doodle Gems Series!

Turquoise stones come in such an amazing variety of colors--you'll find one you love just by doing a Google Image Search for Turquoise Stones.

The first drawing that I show of the Turquoise was done using Micador Color Rush pencils from Australia (not available in the US as far as I can tell)  I won them in a drawing from Peta Hewitt La-Artistino -https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC319W9__DFTzcLYSyPBGlTw

Peta is an amazing colorist and I have been learning lots about color pencil coloring from her many videos!

The gem  drawn in this video is done with Prismacolor Color pencils, Sakura Pigma Micron 01 and a Uniball Signo White Gel Pen. The Paper I'm drawing on is Neenah White 110 lb card stock, with a nice smooth surface.

In the Video I show a color Swatch Card that I made with BOTH Prismacolor and Crayola Pencils.

Here's the list of both kinds of pencils. I hope you find this helpful!

Time to go through the Looking Glass

Hello all!

This week I"m participating in a wonderful Art Crawl on Youtube: Through the Looking Glass hosted by Artsplorations with Mark Muir.

14 Youtube Artists are pulling out all the stops and taking you on an adventure! You'll meet many characters and see sights never seen before There are paintings, soft sculpture, Pen and Ink drawings, and even Polymer Clay. This is not a Disney Wonderland. :)


I am doing a Soft Sculpture Dormouse with a bonus video of how to make a cardboard Teapot just for added measure! You even have access to a PDF Pattern of the Dormouse that I drew up. This is the actual pattern I used to make this Dormouse. Though on the one in the video I left off the back legs since the video was getting long and the Dormouse sits inside the teapot!

Click the link below the photo to go to the Youtube video for the project!
