I like how Waffles calls the list of art supplies "the menu" hehe. Like she gonna eat 'em.

The problem you seem to be having with blending is that you're immediately burnishing (pressing hard) and filling up the paper. You can see the paper is filled from the shiny surface the colored are gets. If you start with a light wash of color the pencils can be layered and you can more easily blush the skin, and also when finally burnishing your end result will have a flatter, smoother fill :) I Hope this helps! Those holbein pencils seem awesome though, very colorful and opaque

The Meltz thing looks very interesting.. I'm curious to try them too now

Trick to more color payoff: Use the main colors lightly, and then blend together with the color blender or white. If you notice how Raedrizzle uses her color pencils, she blends with white to get the full effect after she's lighter with it. I had this problem for the longest time and when I was introduced to the Color blender on fixing this issue of color payoff (Art Collage showed me this), my wrists and fingers didn't hurt as much at the end of it all, Also you can blend different colors on top each other before you blend them together.

The way to get a lot of color without hurting your wrist is slow build up! Faint layers on top of each other become opaque quicker than you'd think, and then it looks velvety instead of kinda shiny ☺️

The key to colored pencils are circular motions and gentle thin layers, in multiples. Even without blender, they will blend better using that method. I've never used meltz before but it looks like it works like oderless mineral spirits, which actually works better the more layers you've put down. Anywho, just a tip you could try. Love your work!

No one:


Me thinking there would be actual maggots in the box

[JellyJessYT]

I was actually so concerned when you said maggots ahaha PHEW

My wrist hurts after using anything thin like pencils or pens for a while, and I find out that using an ergonomic thingy around the pen/pencil really alliviates the discomfort. The problem is mixing something very thin with pressure so just gotta make the thin thing thick and voila, like nothing. It will be annoying to keep putting the pencils on it, but it's worth it in the end. I think you can buy those on stores, are usually for kids, or you can make your own with whatever thickness you need with foam clay. Foam clay because it will be light and kind of flexible after dried so you can put slighty thicker pencils too, like polychromos.

Perfect timing I am currently putting fairy lights up in my room and I need some art in the background

I just purchased my first set of ohuhu markers! You’ve inspired me so much and I’ve become increasingly obsessed with the look of ohuhu. Thank you for introducing so many of us to such a lovely art medium.

i'm not one for the color green at all, but those maggots are STUNNING

Tip for coloured pencils: start light! Especially when blending pencils start with a really light layer of the colours you want and build them up with small light circles (it helps to use a very sharp pencil) when you start light it kinda looks a bit like a crayon texture, when you do the next layer fill in the ‘gaps’ in the crayon texture. Getting dark, very pigmented colours is the same. It takes a long time but it is so much easier to blend and looks really nice.
It also helps your hand and wrist not to hurt

Hello Waffles i have a video idea:

You should try to draw contortion. So like people in weird contortion poses, i've tried it myself and it's a challenge finding the right proportions when the characters are in such weird poses hehe

[sojasaus]

Btw, you don't have to push hard with coloured pencils, they're actually made for layering. Colour in soft and layer other colours (or the same one) on top until you have the colour you want. - an art student.
