This turned out so pretty- I love how you drew the ocean and the turtle 😍 Turtles are such a pretty animal 💖💖💖

[Thezellofamily]

This box taught me that I have no patience for colored pencils. :D

[MadebyDawn]

I cant express how much i enjoy watching you do the #noboxartbox, i how much i love doing it myself. If i can make one request if you can make it a monthly routine. Thank you for so many, so far really enjoy it

[IridescentSiren]

This turned out so beautiful! 😍 I haven’t tried any type of solvent for blending coloring pencils before. But after seeing how nice results you ended up with, it made me want to try it out myself.

[christinescoloringandcrafts]

I use solvents occasionally. With the non water soluble pencils. Usually for making things go a little faster and also, can get some cool effects with it. :)

[WeblightDreams]

Omg it's been decades since I used a solvent for pencils, only used it once and never even finished the piece lol

[fuzzydragons]

lol i had to get my set of Chromaflow pencils and compare the thickness to my other Derwent pencils, yeah for some reason it never came across mind they are thinner than Derwent's normal pencil ranges. i never use solvents with pencils, pastels I do but never have for some reason with coloured pencils
