No, I drew it and then inked it. But I think I was just playing with it then, not really worrying about how the drawing looked, just the color.(And hands are on the list of eternally damned and I have very little tolerance for their floppyness. >< But I'll definatly try to color slower and use heavier paper if I'm going to draw something serious. And bring a pencil sharpener next time I go camping...><
Ah, well playing with it is what art's all about. x3 Gotta have fun with it sometimes, at least. I don't think the weight of the paper makes too much of a difference in the coloring when it comes to colored pencils--it's the tooth/grain of the paper, and how the artist applies color. Heavy paper is good for markers, and probably alright for paints--although most paints are better off on canvases--but colored pencil isn't affected much. I'm still disappointed with the coloring on an older drawing because the paper's got a really rough tooth and it was impossible to smooth out the coloring. (And mom kidnapped it and framed it, so I have a reminder everytime I pass by the thing. x.x)
