I ...Thank you for your thoughtful reply, Anonymous! I have to admit, your first left me a bit miffed - but I'm glad you came back to clarify your opinion. I'm excited that you found me through Craftgawker - I've become quite addicted to that site. Do you ever submit any of your own art to them?<br /><br />I use Prismacolors - I fell hard for their blendy goodness back in college. I've only had to replace a few pencils since I got a full set several years ago - but then, I went through quite an artist's block up until a few months ago when I became determined not to worry about not being perfect and just draw what I love. I may still have some Crayola around that I can revisit, thanks for the tip! As for watercolor and oils ... eek! Paint and I really don't get along. If I were ever to experiment with painting again, I'd have to buy a tablet and do it digitally. But my Ogre already complains I spend too much time on the computer. ;DKristin Aquariannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10016163705498153247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-847192603346308429.post-3728951536355798592011-08-20T11:09:52.746-04:002011-08-20T11:09:52.746-04:00Anonymous here - what brand of color pencils are y...Anonymous here - what brand of color pencils are you using ? If you want to save money and get better quality - don't laugh - buy Crayola . I swear . I've tried, and inevitably given away, hundreds of dollars worth of expensive, fancy color pencil sets because they just don't work as well as Crayola . I'd experiment with multimediums too . Watercolor looks really dreamy when paired with color pencils ... you might want to give that a shot .<br /><br />As far as the blending goes, a little really goes a long way . Try not to overblend - especially on the fleshtones with color pencil - because the colors will look too muted . I don't even blend with color pencils anymore because the beauty of pencils is that you can do amazing stuff with crosshatching that you can't do with other mediums like oil paint or pastels . Which, considering your style, you'd probably find easier to use and more satisfying when it comes the end result . You've got the right idea though ... I've seen your art a few times on Craftgawker and I like your style, you've got a really interesting vibe . Just thought I'd give a fellow artist a critique . After all, you can't improve without a little criticism !Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-847192603346308429.post-73639057962155488512011-08-19T18:10:19.883-04:002011-08-19T18:10:19.883-04:00Thank you for all the comments!
