Description  Prismacolor pencil on white paper (size abt. 4''  x  7'').     

This was just to test stuff  =  Nothing's pre-planned, it's just doodles that eventually filled the page.

Won't be posting many Colour Drawings ;  I'm unable to make my scanner reproduce COLOUR !!
Plus not all my testers are worthy of posting__

 I am watching few tutorials too hoping to get better
i don't think you need tutorials especially for this, i may not know much about coloring but  this is actually my favorite one

That's cool to know as this one was fun to draw random things from nature ..   Some tutorials helped me learn about keeping colours clean, or blend into new colours which was fun.   Others quicker ways use chemicals (even alcohol) with pencils but I've not tried that.

One cool thing ;  Use a  'clean'  blending stump instead of colourless blenders / burnishes ... Just rub over the pencil and it goes all shiny and doesn't damage the paper.

i have used tiny drops of water  with pencils one time
to blend into new colours and it turned out well. i have never tried alcohol though \i will definitely try it  
- blending stamps sounds cool, it might cure my "scraping the paper" problem

Try the stump first ... it polishes while removing all the pencil strokes and that matt-finish colourless pencils cause ,, but it also blends the heavier you press ... so go one colour at a time if you wish too keep your colours.

I red nail polish remover works ..  not sure on acetone ??  Also Winsor Newton blending medium that's crazy expensive.
They apply it after the pencils on paper with cotton-tips or paper stumps to make bold solid, or watercolour type effects.
