@ShatteredRippleBookslast year Love this video because you are a breath of fresh air. So many youtubers push expensive pencils. It' s nice to see a video using cheaper pencils for those who can' t afford expensive ones. 5

@FernCurtis3 years ago Hi pamela, have seen you post new videos in a f. B. Group that we both are in for some time now, but havent really paid much attention. However this p i used these babies for a good year plus before i really started using my next set of pencils, which were the prismas (lol, had them several months before i even started using them and took me a good year before felt really comfortable with them) i learned how to layer, blend, shade and do shadows with them (crayola) being naturally light handed, i can depending on the paper get 8-12 layers with them and i have to say that with crayola, that is how you are going to get the maximum color out ofthem. Going in hard isnt going to do nearly as nice of a job and. As is true with any other pencil set, including prisma, youre not going to be able to get nearly the depth by doing that. Once again, thank you for showing new colorists what is possible with these so underrated pencils! Btw, i have the 100 count, but not the 120. After seeing you swatch them out. I am so tempted to go ahead and get them. Those new blues are to die for, plus having a burnt ocher? Typesomething i want to think about!. ...Expand 3

You are new to me but bring a fresh new perspective to the plate, thank you for sharing your love of the art, i find it so relaxing, being a nurse for decades isn' t always a chill occupation. Lol.
