Cayons or Colored Pencils or Pastels or Paints?

Ok for me, it's definatley pastels. I like oil pastels. The smear better so you can blend colors. Paint gets over the lines and is so messy and hard to work with. (sometimes) Colored pencils aren't bright enough. They're not very bold. You know what I mean. Not enough color. Crayons leave that texture thingy sometimes. You cant really bleand crayons or colored pencils either. So yeah. Tell me what you choose and why. If it's not in the choices, either pick one of them, or tell me something else.

Crayons: Bleh
Colored Pencils: Yay
Pastels: Bleh
Paints: They're quite good for sunset scenes and stuff since it's great for the mixed lighting of the sky and the brightness increasing the closer you are to the lower centre (where the sun would be in a sunset).

Re: Cayons or Colored Pencils or Pastels or Paints?

How about all of them?  lol

It really depends on the artwork. Oil and chalk pastels are good for blending, but are not good for pieces requiring fine detail. Colored pencils and paint can be used for fine detail, but it takes a lot of work to pull off brightness with color pencil works (and if you get a wax bloom, that ruins the entire piece), and paint is messy at times. Crayons seem to fall in-between, so it's good for things requiring some detail, though not heavily.

Sometimes I'll mix the media up, though. For example, in a lot of my pieces, I use chalk or oil pastel for the background while using paint and/or colored pencils for detailed areas.

Actually, you can, but it's difficult to pull off.

For colored pencils, you can buy a blender (it looks like a colorless color pencil), although a tortillon can also work. A white colored pencil might also work, but I don't recommend it for darker colors.

Mineral spirits can also be used to blend for colored pencils and crayons (they break down the wax in crayons and color pencils, causing them to blend more easily).

You know, today I was drawing 2 parakeets and couldn't get the right color. So I used colored pencils. First I put down blue, then I put some yellow on that. The problem was you could STILL SEE the different colored strokes.  sad  So I put down my finger and rubbed as hard as I could. BOOM! Perfect Blue-Yellow-Green color! So actually, you can blend colored pencil. That's why I like them best.

Err.. I have no idea what you're talking about. My colored pencils are too DARK. It might just be the brand.  hmm

So, my answer is colored pencils.

Re: Cayons or Colored Pencils or Pastels or Paints?

Really depends on what I'm drawing... Though I mostly use markers to outline and colored pencils to color my drawings in. I mostly draw cartoon style because I fail at shading ><

I do like working with pastels when I have an excuse to  smile

My current project is drawing all of the Phantom of the Opera characters as Phineas and Ferb characters (or P&F characters os PotO ones. whichever.)
