that would look so lovely....hey! can you sketch with colored pencils? I'm not an artist, I'm only a writer, so i don't know how art works in all the different paints, colors, and pencils, but can you sketch with colored pencils? Or do you call it drawing? i don't know if there is a difference lol, but if you could do your drawings in not just plain pencil but in colored pencil...that would amazing to see.

i do it with pencil because its fast, but i will ty to find time to make it with acrylics ( i cant see those grey tones anymore)
that also depends on the scene - some work with black and white, some have their best expression in color.
but i will not use colored pencil, sorry.
i dont like their attributes.

what is the difference i'm curious? i mean, they are pencils also? i've had other people say they don't like colored pencils also, what is wrong with them? it intrigues me lol.

using acrylics, oils or other "wet colours" is more effective. in my opinion colour pencils dont reach the level of deepness and softness, like wet colours do.
they are also not good at blending. and i dont like the structures they make. its just my opinion and i dont want to talk colour pencils down, but i am a "wet painter".
