Description
So the finished version. Done with prismacolor pencils. I really love how the shading turned out, with a lot of layering.Related content

Very nice pencil work here! Just recently getting back into colour pencils myself. I love them as a medium but I can only afford cheap ones at the moment.

Thank you. I started out with the cheapest I could find, because I also couldn't afford much more and I also wanted to be sure that I enjoyed and wanted to continue using colour pencils, before buying expensive pencils. Later I bought a large set of prisma colour pencils and I'm very happy with them.

Awesome. I am running a cheapskates challenge at the moment for people who are stuck using either student quality or supermarket art supplies. How did you cope with the cheap ones? I find the supermarket ones infuriating to work with compared to even my student quality art ones and even they are rubbish...

It wasn't that bad. I found a brand that was very cheap in a local store that I liked. It was actually a good brand that was just under student supply quality. The store was having a sale, so I could afford a bigger set. That said, I love my prismacolors and their quality. My previous set almost pales in comparison, but it took me a while to get them. So, I understand your frustration and I really got lucky.

Indeed you did get lucky! I have heard good things about prismacolors. Never get a chance to try them though...

Yeah, they're really great. I can really layer much more, then with my other set. I love the depth.

Awesome. Layering is one thing I have problems with. The cheap ones just won't go over each other no matter what...

Oh, I know. I had the same problem with layering the cheaper pencils. It just doesn't work. I have two drawings on my profile that are done with my cheaper set, pentel pencils. They turned out very light in colour, because I couldn't layer as much as I wanted. With my prisma's I don't have any trouble, though there is the fact that prisma's are softcore pencils and pentels are hardcore and as such harder to layer anyway.

Tell me about it. I can't even blend my colour pencils they are that bad (I wonder what they are based on, as there might be a solvent that will do the trick). I am going to have a go with a cheap set watercolour pencils tonight and see how that goes... Had them ages but never trusted myself to use them correctly...

I have used watercolour pencils as well, and I, well I don't hate them, but I definitely don't like working with them. Though, blending is better, the set I have, is just awkward, there is no other word for it. But good luck, I hope your experience with them is better then mine.

Arrgh, my set was also awkward as heck. Wouldn't lay down colour evenly and wouldn't blend well either. I shall have to get better paper and go nuts with the water. XD
