Description Since this is one of the most asked questions, I figured I could explain my process. It is simple but a little time consuming. There are other ways to use colored pencils but this is the one that has stuck with me so far. I hope it helps some!

Beautiful! But what do you mean by rinse? And could you share what colored pencils you use? As in brand and shade if you remeber. Thank you for being beautiful and sharing beauty with the world ♡

This greatly helps! I'm trying to learn to shade more! I can do it alright on paper but I can't do it on my computer yet. I got a new program that will help and such but I'm still playing around with it and learning how to use it. I prefer traditional anyway.

Great job! I love your work! Beautiful!

nnicc In reply to xdark-dinestyx [2013-06-13 10:37:40 +0000 UTC]

you can clean rubbing it on sandpaper or using a sharp knife

I doubt it. Wouldn't that ruin the stump?

asuminakuki14 In reply to stahppp [2013-09-17 04:13:54 +0000 UTC]

no, it may never look the same but once you smooth it out with your fingers after rubbing on sandpaper it'll work the same

When you say "rinse" do you actually put water on the blending stump? Thanks for making this!
