There is some good advice in this podcast if you can tolerate the hosts. The female host always seems so angry and talks so fast that it is difficult to understand what she is saying and the male host is so dead boring droning on and on.

Description

The longest-running podcast on the medium of Colored Pencil. Bringing you Inspiration and innovation in the ever-changing world of colored pencil since 2015. We discuss tips, techniques, shortcuts, and all the nitty-gritty of this medium that we love so much. We interview the very best artists working in colored pencil today. Raw-cut, early-release, and ad-free video interview versions are available to Members Circle, part of the Monthly Sharpener community.
