This is amazing work. I find colored pencil very difficult to work and I'm very impressed with your color blending. Love the eyes.

Thank you very much. I always use a colorless blender when I am working with colored pencil and I make sure that I have all of my colors laid down before I blend.

What brand of colored pencil do you use? I use Derwent and have some prismacolor. I use the colorless blender also but cannot obtain anything close to what you do with them. I have never tried laying down all my colors first. Do you use a burnishing technique?

I have been using the Prisma colors lately although my favorite brand is Fantasia, because the clay based pencils can be blended with just about anything( tortillions, stumps, t-shirt, ect.) When I work with the color pencil I make sure that I lay on the product thick enough that when I use the blender it pushes the color around and blends with the surrounding pigments. That is how I achieve what I believe to be the most interesting effects. I also like to lay a thick layer of colors next to each other and then blend them in to each other. As for burnishing I do burnish at times but rely more on the colorless blender to blend and really move the product around on the paper surface.
