I really love these Prisma Colored Pencils. They rock, but I need to find a way to make them not look like some 7th grade art project or something. Hmm. Collage elements? Different color schemes? Maybe some funky unconventional thing to draw them on with? I don't know, but today I practiced just using them and getting used to their mojo. Or maybe I was just geeking out about them, same thing.
Chelsea, these are looking great! The Prismas work best if you build them up in layers (make sure you are using fairly heavy-duty papers). There's a technique called "burnishing" where you smooth out the color with a white, then layer over with color again. You can achieve the same effect by mixing colors (like an orange over yellow for instance). Look up "colored pencil techniques" on youtube and there are a few video tutorials we use in DnD class. Keep it up!
