Because I'm a fan of the Blade movies, here are 2 of my own pictures featuring Wesley Snipes as Blade.

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d184/obsidianrainbow/Fine Art/blade2.jpg - using watercolour pencils from 2002. Because I did this 4 years ago, looking at it now I can see that the face isn't right or the lettering sweatdrop but I was impressed with it at the time xp

I so hate the blade movies. xd But I really like the first piece. 3nodding
The second got me thinking...are you using watercolor pencils without water?

Thanks 3nodding I did use water I just used very little, I just used the water to blend them, rather than using them like watercolours. 3nodding

You really should use more water when you're done drawing.
Brings out the colors. Water color pencils are rather pale compared to regular colored pencils, unless you get it wet with a brush. Plus you get rid of the sketchy lines and get a more smooth fading. 3nodding

thanks for the tips, but I just don't like using much water, I don't like using much water when I paint either, it gives me less control of the colours. But thanks for the tip. I don't use watercolour pencils much anymore really, because of my A-Level in Art, we got taught to use paints most of the time, so I hardly use pencils now sweatdrop

and thanks Hasel!
