Description
Oh colored pencils, how I've missed you!I'm finally back! Been a busy couple of months. I have been drawing but it's just line art for coloring pages and nothing worth uploading here. My goal for next year is to do mostly traditional drawings, using digital just for coloring.
As for this pretty girl right here, she is based off of the G3 toy Twilight Twinkle. I'm going to be using this drawing for a larger project that I don't want to reveal quite yet but I'm pretty excited for it. I'm hoping to do something like alternating drawing for this project with drawing for another crossover I've got planned. But we'll see how that goes - next year I'm going to be studying to get my Assistant Lab Animal Technician certification so that's going to eat up a lot of time (not to mention once the new Zelda game comes out I'll probably do little else but play that when I'm not studying.)

I love it when they put in these little nods to the previous gens.

That color is so dense! How quickly do you go through your pencils?? Nice vibrancy I was always too stingy to get!

My poor purples! I may be able to get one more purple pony in before I need to restock.

Wow. This is so beautiful! It's so smooth. I actually thought it was done digitally until I read the description. What kind of paper did you use and how did you shade it so well?

Colored pencils have always been my favorite medium to use. I'm actually really lucky that some of the people in my family were artists who passed down their supplies to me. My mom has many Prismacolor pencils and I get to have all the ones she has two or more of. I think she got them from my great grandmother. I'm still trying to learn how to use them and am not very good at it yet. I've found a lot of tips and tricks like laying down many layers. I also have a colorless blender for shading and its a Prismacolor too. I think the main reason why my shading doesn't end up the way I want it is because of the paper I use. I have a big sketchbook which is just for drawing with pencil. I also have a small multi-medium one but only have a few pages left of it. What I usually color on it printer paper which doesn't work at all with colored pencils. A lot of the kinds of papers that I've heard work well with them are kind of expensive. I don't know if it's just the people are professional artists and only really use the high quality stuff or if it's that that kind of paper is more pricey in general. Do you know any kinds of papers sold on amazon or someplace like Hobby Lobby that work well with colored pencils and are affordable? Also, thanks for letting me know how you make your art . It's really helpful to someone who wants to get into art but knows nothing about it. (that someone being me XP)

Same here, I've always loved using pencils. Never could get the hang of painting - I don't feel very in control when I'm using a brush.
I've used the Strathmore brand of sketchbooks since my art class in high school, and they've always served me well. Not sure if they're considered really high quality but I've noticed they seem to be the most common brand in craft stores. What brand is your multi-medium one?
You're quite welcome, I love it when people ask about my style or process!

The brand of the multi-medium one that I use is called Canson. It's one that I get from middle school art that still had quite a few pages left in it. I haven't done any art classes in high school yet, expect ceramics, but I plan on doing one next year. I'm trying to get all the credits for computer lit and P.E. and such first to get them out of the way before the fun stuff.
It would be nice to have some toned paper to work with as I usually don't do full pictures anyways so when I upload my art with a white background to Deviant Art, it looks boring. It would help add some flair to my work. Also, it would be easier to work on and shade with. I looked up the kind you use and they don't look all that expensive. I'll check at places near me to see if I can find them. If not, I can still just get one from amazon. They sound perfect for me. They aren't all that pricey and I can use them for more than just colored pencil.
