Description First time using watercolor pencils!
sketched this onto the watercolor paper, inked it with a regular gel pen( with is a bad idea btw because when you mix the water in to turn the pencils into paint, the line art will smudge everywhere! Should have know better XP), and then carefully colored it in with the pencils for the first time. This was a very scary experience since the special paper isn't exactly cheap..... well the pencils aren't a bargain either.

But in all seriousness, the set of 36 prismacolor watercolor pencils were worth the money. I had a great time using them and was left with an awesome first impression.

Cannot wait to use these again! Next time though I want to try something more complicated, maybe actually add some details and a background. I just had to upload something manga related since it's been like- FOREVER!!!

Sorry for the awkward title: her eyes are olive toned- hey take it or leave it
ALSO the scanner was being stubborn again as usual, you can't even see my signature.
Lastly, the skin turned out atrocious, sorry LOL!

Tools: 36 set of prismacolor watercolor pencils, old ceramic paint brush XD, WATER.

Time: about 2 hours.

It's nice ;o if you don't want smudging I'd suggest micron pens,they're AMAZING -u- but not to cheap either .__.

Thank you! Also, I appreciate the advice, I'll have to check local stores and see if they have micron pens! I will love anything that doesn't smudge XD
