I’m thrilled to announce CP Magic March 2021, with featured artist Chloe Hibberd.
And her rescue dog, Rosie!
This issue of CP Magic is 50 pages of great and inspiring information for colored pencil artists at all levels.
Here’s a peek.
What’s in CP Magic March 2021
The Featured Artist for This Month
Chloe Hibberd is a pet portrait artist specializing in realism. Her goal with every portrait is to create a work of art that looks so real and alive, you might think you could reach out and touch the animal.
March Tutorial
Chloe’s tutorial project is her rescue dog, Rosie, resting under her favorite tree.
Chloe used drafting film for this project, and has lots of useful tips on using this surface. It’s a great tutorial for dog lovers and those of us who have wanted to try drafting film.

The Great Art Adventure
Have you ever planned a trip down to the last detail, and then found yourself on a side trip? Don’t let those side trip opportunities pass you by. You never know what unique opportunities they present.
New This Month: Then & Now
Every artist started somewhere. Even your favorite artists. The new Then & Now is a new column featuring “then” and “now” works to encourage all of us to keep drawing when we fell like we’ll never improve!
