Artist's Comments

The most important tip or trick I could give on using pencil crayons. Most beginners underestimate the use of the white pencil crayon, while it is probably your strongest tool. Includes some tips on layering and blending.

I'm assuming that only prismacolor whites can give you that affect?
:iconkitton:
Not necessarily. In a tight pinch I have forced crayola to do some jazz... but its a lot of work and usually ends up smudgey and chalky...
:iconretrosushi:
Ah, right. My only white pencils are crayolas, and I don't get really significant results.
:iconkitton:
Crayolas really do suck. I mean, I try to keep an open mind that the artist is better than the media and can wrestle it into submission-but you really have a rough time with them. I used to use them and I just HAD to buy the prismas because they were recommended to me and along with my tablet I think they are the best investment I've ever made. Probably even moreso than my tablet....

oooh interestinggg but doesnt that make the white pencil all dirty and like smudge other colors into other colors? maybe not.

:iconzombiepirate:
wow interesting. I didn't know that :0 I just thought white was really pointless.

I'm inspired by the music of GWAR, various mythologies, and wolves fighting to death over rotten carcasses.

aaah i totally remembered this when settling down to a drawing several weeks ago heh. i was like 'what the hell can i do to add more crazy highlight and colour to this?' then i looked at the white pencil and was like 'oh yeah!' and well it worked out pretty neatly i must say (hopefully the piece helps get me into art school this weekend XD) in conjunction with my markers. so yes, thanks XD! *stops babbling*

I hear you. I started out with Crayolas, and trying to blend those things to get a nice, smooth look is worse than pulling teeth. Glad I saw the light too.

Serenity: Surprise! We invited the entire reaver population to the party!

Great tips, strongly agree with what you say about whites... think its a very important pencil to have to achieve the right tones and set the perfect mood! :D
