Thanks so much KW_artshop! whee

Hmm, I was just thinking about sticking to Ticonderoga, but I haven't used my Prang set yet, so I'll try to experiment with Prang this time. ^^

Yes, I know...my teacher warned me about Rose Art.
"Dont. Ever. Get. ROSEART! If you're running low on budget, get Crayola or Prang, but NEVER Roseart!"

@_@;;

xD yeah.


Yesss yes, my teacher told me to almost never use black in color-oil painting unless you really need to. And I guess the same goes for colored pencil too, huh? x3

Once again, thanks for the tips! whee


lol no prob! i'm happy to be of service. don't forget to check out my art shop!!! i have some stuff i've done posted in there! (>_<)

I have the same problem you have (wanting prisma but not having money+not knowing how to color well).

I find the best thing to do is test both kinds of pencils but not on that drawing. Use a completly diffrent one for practice. Practice makes perfect!

(love the drawing, bye the bye xd )

From what I understand, it's best to work from the light colours (yellow) down to the darkest (blues and purples.)

it's harder to put a yellow atop a blue than the other way around. 3nodding

Yeah, I'll make sure to test both colored-pencil brands on a different paper first before I start coloring.
I'm not sure, but my art teacher said that we should buy an extra white colored pencil, because she said that we're gonna be using white a lot once we start our colored pencil unit.

Is the white colored pencil use for blending?
