Thank you so much! Smile You are so right. Every once in awhile I will color something with markers. then I remember WHY it is I never use them in the first place when I use the flesh colored one for the skin. Oh, it comes out horrible! Oh No! So, this is why I tend to stick with CPs. One day when I invest in some higher quality (maybe prismacolor) markers will I try the marker thing again. Maybe I'll start trying what you do and use markers for everything but the flesh. Corky Smile

That's a good idea. I'd love to be a trend-setter. *winks* Copic markers are the BEST, but they are so dang expensive. I can't remember the name of the set I have. They're the next to the most expensive copics, but not popular enough for me to remember the name of them. Heh, heh. But, the color flows from them so beautifully. I love them.

      Hey, sometimes the cheapies work just as good. If not better. The flesh on all of my pics is colored with Crayola colored pencils. I haven't found any other brand yet that has any decent flesh colors besides crayola.

        Prismacolor pencils work great for me...they are softer and much easier to blend than crayola pencils...you have to find them at the right price though, because full retail price is just not do-able : | try e-bay!

        I was talking about my markers rather then my pencils though...I still keep all my crayola pencils and all my other pencils because I do use them if I can't find the right color. Heck I'll probably end up keeping my old markers as well, alot of the colors are nice, just NOT the flesh color (yikes) Smile

          I hear that about the flesh-colored markers. I tried coloring with one out of my $25 set that I'm using now, and it sucked! It totally screwed up my picture! All that work I did, right down the drain. *sighs* I love the way you use the colors in your pencils. You do a great job with the color schemes. I'll have to look into finding my own set of Prismacolors. They are vibrant. I love vibrant colors. Thanks for the tip.
