As I child, I used to take the burnt sienna crayon and go through a coloring book coloring just the animals. :)Linda Sandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12734450335251336493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185773006740725325.post-60089799905532108732021-09-01T09:42:45.866-05:002021-09-01T09:42:45.866-05:00Try the 91% alcohol from Walmart.

Mostly I use the alcohol to get rid of the white spots so I do not have to press hard on the pencil and squash the paper.Barney, The Old Fat Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14242837062100545160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185773006740725325.post-76139105595937550462021-09-01T09:21:31.963-05:002021-09-01T09:21:31.963-05:00I have yet to try blending colors or using a blend...I have yet to try blending colors or using a blending medium.

My grand daughter's book on Unicorns looked like fun in it. I also have no inhibition to tracing legal images from my computer screen either. Then there is my pictures that can be transferred to good coloring paper like Strathmore colored pencil paper. Recently I picked up some transfer paper and tried it out. It was a great success. So there is lots of available fun just waiting. I have found I much prefer Prismacolor pencils. Rubbing alcohol is my blending medium.Barney, The Old Fat Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14242837062100545160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185773006740725325.post-4914178621476516042021-08-31T20:55:46.152-05:002021-08-31T20:55:46.152-05:00I am happy you had that breakthrough moment and wi...I am happy you had that breakthrough moment and will now have more time to do what you enjoy as a colorist. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185773006740725325.post-41684613577502980602021-08-31T20:54:51.905-05:002021-08-31T20:54:51.905-05:00Are you going to be using adult coloring books?

I like the relationship of colors to each other, and it's fun to try different combinations.Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17365042123377142037noreply@blogger.com
