That looks like a good one
Finally, seeing as how we are on The Cat Site, the moment I spotted this, I KNEW I had to share it with all of you: Minka's Journey: A Coloring Story Book (Coloring Journeys) (Volume 1) $9.99 I did not order it at this time, though I was VERY tempted!
I know I will start coloring again. Just have too much on my mind now.. I mean--too much to do..
that's why it has subsided here. People were feeling overwhelmed with competition and production and it lost it's appeal for most of them.
The good thing is that there are some who never colored before because they didn't think they could, or they might have thought it was 'silly' or just for kids. But, because of the 'new fad', they felt compelled to pick up some colored pencils and give it a shot and they liked it! They discovered a talent they didn't know they had, and found a way to release tension and take their minds off of their worries.
It's not that we don't understand art - it's that we don't understand the artist.
Did you notice that some of the people here colored the same exact drawing, but they each did it in such vastly different colors and techniques? Some received brilliant compliments because they were 'so good' and some didn't receive any comments at all. But they were ALL expressions of the individual who colored them with their own mind's eye and emotions.
With that being said, Thank you! to everyone who shared themselves here through their artwork! I hope you all continue and that you learn that it is OK to color outside the lines!
Next stage colouring with both of them and trying not to get scribbles all over everyone's work.... ?I still want to colour but I don't have much time. I used to colour with my 3 year old while the baby was napping in the morning. He only has one afternoon nap now (and he's sadly not a baby anymore). I can't just sit at the table and colour with her because he'd be climbing on the table, pulling at me or crying.
I never felt any competition here. It was nice to see everone else's coloring and their thought process in choosing colors but there was never any pressure to see who could color the most or the "best". To me the thread has been a "show and tell" type of thing. If you want to share your coloring, great. If not, that's ok too
I think that's why it has subsided here. People were feeling overwhelmed with competition and production and it lost it's appeal for most of them.
That should be fourth set of pencils I now have
I just opened one of the gifts a friend sent me and guess what it was? A set of Prismacolor pencilsThis is thethirdset I now have. I already have two 48 pencil sets and one 150 pencil set. I'm not running out of pencils anytime soon
If you haven't already, do invest in a GOOD sharpener. I started out with a 48 cent one from WalMart. Eventually I bought the Prismacolor Premier sharpener, and the difference really surprised me! Plus, the Premier offers wide and narrow angles; the wide angle uses less of the pencil at a time. Not sure it will help with that one gray pencil, but overall, it will help the pencils last longer.
They do wear down pretty fast. I have one pencil that I can't use at all because the lead is soft that the tip breaks whenever I use it and sharpening it just makes it worseIt's a dark gray pencil. Since I have plenety of other grays I can just not use this particular one.
I do have the Prismacolor Premier sharpener. That one gray pencil just breaks
