Description
I am so in love with these Prismacolors!!!!!! I cannot believe how easy they are to work with! I cannot believe that for all these years I have been struggling with the Derwent Studio pencils. It only took me moments to get the blending results I had wanted, all along! 
I think I might have found a new passion!!!!I only needed pen to sign my work! This is Amazing!

I love it. Your work is amazing. I've added some of yours that I find myself more attached to than the rest to my favorites. They are all great and it's great to see such amazing work. Hopefully one day I'll reach the level you are at, but right now I just have fun playing around with what I have.

You can achieve that look, by layering the colors over each other, then use a paper stump, or fingers to rub the wax in order to blend even further. It is commonly called Burnishing.

beautiful work! you do incredible things with those pencils! I can't get them to work that well for me!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sure you can! You just experiment with layering the shades...The more layers, the less white spots. Also, burnish afterwards.

I'll have to try that........what does burnish mean?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Burnish is when you either use a colorless pencil, lighter colored pencil, or a smudge tool, and go back over the area you want to blend applying a constant pressure. The pencil will take on a polished look when you are done. It is very much like buffing and polishing. The friction warms up the wax in the pigment and in respect softens it to allow for spreading of the pigments. I hope that answers you Question!

That is really beautiful! You did an amazing job! You were using Derwents previously? I was debating trying them out, as Prismas are expensive, and very fragile! If they're handled too roughly (in shipping or being carried around, or dropped), the lead inside can crack and make it so you can't sharpen . . .
Anyways, I love the color tones and the muscles along the horse's body. It's a gorgeous picture!

Yep, One of my purple ones had that. I hope the whole pencil isn't that way.

You won't know until either the pencil will or won't sharpen. It kinda sucks when they don't sharpen, but I've only had two or three (out of maybe 150 or 200 pencils?) that wouldn't sharpen at all. I gotta figure out a better way to store and transport mine, though. I think I'm too hard on them . . .

I worry now, because. I was rough on handling the pencils, when I was purchasing them...(just plunking them in the basket) But, as so far... I only found one...

I think they'll be okay with that. It's more of dropping them on the floor (especially tile, like my floors . . . ). I don't know what else is too hard on them. I'm still learning . . .
