  • I have tried using the markers and either I don't know how to use them properly or they just don't have the range that the pencils do. I guess I am just going to keep with the pencils. This is what I have used for the past 22 years and I am comfortable with them. Keep experimenting with them, try using both.

  • can you explain what watercolor or regular prisma colors are? the differences? also are markers better or color pencils cuz im tryin to save money so i just wanna get 1. thanks for teaching me how to blend!

  • I'm not sure what the watercolor pencils are made of. I will look into that and get back with you. Prismacolor pencils are a blend of oil and wax which is why you can thin them with rubber cement thinner or isoprophol alcohol.

  • I got a colored pencil blender at Michael's that looks like a double-ended marker. Works like a marker blender, except it's for colored pencil. I'll try your technique too! Thanks.

  • I have used these in the past. You can also use isoprophyl alcohol and a Q-tip to blend the colors. It males the colored pencil look like a watercolor wash.

  • Wow, what kind of pencils do you use?

  • I only use Prismacolor Pencils. I find them to be very consistant.

  • @cutewebkinz13 For over 20 years ^_^ Oh yea

  • bob ross

  • have you ever tried laying the color down and then blending it with the white on top?? thats what i do but i am self taught so i dunno the proper techniques?? anyhow i like to do a light layer of color and then smear/blend it with white! then i can spread the color to different areas...that way

  • Wow, this is...awesome! For the fur did you just do little flicks of the pencil? And would you suggest anything for longer hair? When I'm trying to make long hair, I tend to go a little screwy and the lines don't look uniform. Do you have any tips? Thanks!

  • I like!

  • I like to use arches watercolor paper hot press with an smooth texture for my drawings, wonderful for blending colors, I don use prismacolors though I use verythin brand for detail.

  • That is very interesting. Wonderful technique!

  • nice....ive been using prismas for awhile and didnt think of using white as a base...u r very talented
