Description
Dear Cherri-sensei,
Please accept this as special thanks for being so encouraging when you didn't even know it. Treating it as a gift or fan art is up to you.
NOW ENOUGH OF THE CORNY STUFF AND GET TO THE PERSONAL COMMENTS.
Oh my gawd why does a pack 60 Crayola pencil crayons only have medium greys when you also need dark and light ones???!!!! I'm still suffering from lack of colour variation. I couldn't see the lines and couldn't shade properly andandandand... ok I'll stop from there.
By the way, I finally learned how get the "plz" emoticons! Now I can use this one ! I LOVE EMOTICONS!!!!

Cherri-sensei, don't die! We love you too much!
And I won't tell you how you helped me. If I told you'll bounce off the walls and hit your head. D:
Maybe I should put Faber Castell pencil crayons on my Christmas wishlist...

impressive.. if you really want lot's of variations of colors.. for me the best is faber castell.
or maybe corell also looks good..
but the tones of colors depends on how hard and light you shade.

Saying it's impressive is an overstatement *o*
I can't afford Faber Castell right now. Doesn't it only have 32 colours?
You can go lighter but now matter how hard you press, it'll only go bolder.

if you can't afford it, it's fine and also
it's more on how you shade.. there are different types of how to shade.
sometimes i position my color pencil in diagonal so that instead of the tip of the led.. the one shading is the side of the led.
don't press it too hard..it will hurt the paper.
tutorials on other artist also help

Are Fable Castell ones easy to layer?
I sometimes put it on a diagnal too, but only sometimes because I might colour outside the lines (like I already do)
I also sometimes use the white pencil crayon to blend so I have to press hard. The colours come out bolder anyway.

yes.. faber castell are easy to blend and layered.
as long as you know other techniques of using colorin pencils you'll be fine.
and please.. don't press hard on the paper.. it's almost like you're hurting it..
speakibg of papers.. i noticed that the paper you're using have some type of pores on it.. looks like a water coloring paper..
color pencils work best on smooth papers like bond papers or tracing papers.
maybe trying emperpep's tutorial would help [link]
i used his tutorial as a guide for me until i found mt own technique
hope this will help..
and also..
all it takes is practice.
it also seems you're talented on paintings.. so keep it up!

I used normal copy paper and put it on top of a sketch book cover.

hm.. how about putting it on a smooth sketch book cover.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
What's the point in putting a smooth one under it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hm.. well. at least when you color it.. there will be no bump marks on your work.. sometimes these are the things that troubles me.. and also.. go ahead and put your faber castell on your wish list!! and did i say corell on my first comment.. sorry my bad
colleen color pencils are very smooth to use too ^^ especially in color blending ^^

Then there wouldn't be any point in putting a sketchbook underneath anyway. And what bump marks are you talking about?
I just found out I can't get them. The art store closest to me doesn't sell any Faber Castell products. I've done some research on them, and they don't seem right for me.
