I always thought pencilslop discussion was crab cope, but i've tried and failed to get coloring right. The shades won't smudge the way i want, nor do they get the desired color even when i paint repeatedly to get a darker color. I can't get yellow to look right either, and the paper is about to tore and give up on me from constant erasing and re-drawing. Any traditional artist that may be able to give input on that regard? The Eco-Colored Faber Castells on pic-rel were the ones used. The usual critiques are also appreciated.
