The Best Pencil Artists on Instagram

Instagram is filled with talented artists who use it to show off their pencil prowess. Here’s a list of some of the best pencil artists on Instagram.

Alice Herring, @aliceandtheredherring

Alice Herring is a story artist at Dreamworks Animation. Off the clock, though, she’s snapping pictures of sketches and posting them on her Instagram account. She sketches a lot of her work with a Blackwing – the results are stellar.

Baldmelon, @baldmelon

Our next Instagram artist works with cartoony animals, girls and caricatures. Whether with watercolor or a Blackwing, Baldmelon sketches characters that really pop off the page.

Fawn Veerasunthorn, @fawnv

Fawn Veerasunthorn is a story artist at Walt Disney Animation Studios. She posts up sketches, drawings, and pieces on her Instagram that almost always involve a Blackwing. Her characters are loose and elegant, sparsely detailed yet animated with motion.

Cedric Nocon, @cednoconstudio

Cedric Nocon is a Filipino comic book artist who has worked for Marvel, DC and many other comic book studios. On Instagram, Cedric posts his sketches and curios, which include a stunning series of pencil-and-pen napkin drawings. Plus, Cedric is an avid Blackwing 602 user!

Rich Lauzon, @richtoon

Cartoonist Rich Lauzon tours comic conventions and creates an all-ages web comic, “Space Pest Removal.” His Instagram account features a wealth of cartoony pencil sketches that recall the crazy contours of classic cartoons.

Joe Richichi, @artworkbyjoe

This pencil artist creates lifelike pencil portraits of animals and celebrities. His use of shading creates lifelike contour and detail. Joe tends to post his drawings-in-process until they are finished – we’re very excited to see his finished Danny DeVito.

Hopefully these artists have inspired your creativity and you’re ready to do some drawing. Make sure you follow Pencils.com on Instagram to get your daily dose of pencil inspiration.
