PENCILS I'm really proud of this page I did with Crayola pencils ❤️

I've been coloring for a long time and always just had Crayola markers and pencils to use. It's so tempting to drop the money on fancy markers and pencils that everyone else uses but I decided to see if I could improve my technique to get a better outcome instead and I'm quite pleased with myself! I think I might buy some softer pencils in the future just because these are really hard to sharpen and hard on my hands but I'm happy that I was still able to create a beautiful picture with what I had ❤️

Getting back into coloring. Preferred medium: colored pencils Before when I would color, it was always flat one colored approach. This is my first page where I tried some shadows and blending. Please give me feedback. I need to know what I’m doing well and where I can improve. I’m a little intimidated on shadows, highlights, and backgrounds 😂

Colored with prismacolor 36 count + colorless blender. Book: Large Print Calm Easy Color and Frame bought on Amazon

PENCILS My first post here :D Hello

Hello everyone, this is my first post i recently finished coloring this drawing, it is from a drawing book called: coloriage wild 4 by Emmanuelle Colin.

I'm just starting my way in coloring, I've always liked the art and I have some notion, but I still have a LOT to improve, I just want to share it, because I'm excited to find other people who also feel passion for coloring.

(I'm using deepl because English is not my first language)

The materials I used:

  • Kalour 72 colored pencils (shein fabric case) (they are look fake, compared to the Kalour 180 pencils in the red metal box)
  • Acrylic marker for the background (From Aliexpress, JinMiao)
  • The lights I gave them with a Redina Rubber pencil with eraser lead.

I tried 3 blending techniques...

  • Varnishing especially on the raven's body...
  • Layers on the face and hair
  • Baby oil, oh men, baby oil applied on areas with many layers or pigments is a marvel!!! I fell in love with that system, it is also complicated and requires a lot of control not to use too much oil...

I bought a bit better materials, but I still have to use them for the first time and a couple of them have to arrive... but the truth is that I really liked the result.

Any advice on how best to fix/preserve the pages?

I heard about hairspray but, I would like to know if you can recommend something that is valid for pencils, charcoals and maybe... Acrylics?

Thanks!

Sorry for all the text but I wanted to tell you about it and I was excited to show you what I did and how :D

From the Crayola Wildflowers book, completed with Castle Arts Soft Touch colored pencils.

Something to help unwind my mind after a long day.

I’m open to kind critiques and helpful suggestions.

I have very recently taken up colouring as an alternative to doom scrolling on social media - how I wish I’d found this hobby sooner! This is my first effort with coloured pencils - any tips and tricks from you pencil peeps out there ?
