OK, great! Hope you find them... if there is a Michael's store near you, I'd go there first.

And no, you need not repay me in any form.

Drew>-- That's okay! I'm a very forgiving person when I want to be.

Kodiwolf>-- Thanks! I already asked my mom to go and she said sure , but on the weekend.

Oooohh, great! You should upload pics in a gallery on the site!

I blend with colored pencils. It's all I have. LOL

@ Kodiwolf- good suggestion! The colorless blender works really well, though I don't recommed using it 100% of the time- it depends on the look you're going for. And, my advice for purchasing prismas is to check for a 40-50% off coupon in a Michael's ad, because prismas aren't cheap^^

Also, if one is using something cheaper, like crayola, I recommend going over areas with a white colored pencil. It doesn't work quite as well as a blender, but doesn't do a bad job of burnishing^^

?......It's simple, you don't need blenders >_> all you need to do is not try to smash your pencil in, like color lightly overlapping layers, cross hatch, it can all blend XP...

Ahh, I forgot about using the white pencils and going over the colors -- that's a better idea! because then ou don't have to buy more expensive things, though Prismas are too fun! XD

I blend with coloured pencils lol It's not that hard^^I've got pencils from Tecso's and look what you can make with them:

I mix them with other pencils I've got, but I can't remember where I bought them You need to knowshades of your pencil, how hard you need to push to get a certain colour. And you also be aware of wha pencils you buy, because some of them can't blend. Also if I want to make eg. Simba's fur colour, I take orange and colour whole bit very lightly. Then I take my yellow and go over it again, this time more tightly (not too much). Then I look whether the clor is ok or not, ad add little orange, little yellow if neccessary. Similarly, if you don't have light brown to colour Balto, you can use dark brown but colour lightly. I sometimes add some grey to Balto. Drawing trees with colouring pencils is a great fun for me. first I gather all my types of brown I've got, then I find those which fit together the best. I take light brown (if you don't have l.brown, take orange) and colour whole tree lighly(not the leaves f course). When you finish that, make some dashes on it (tree is never superb straight). Then if you have little bit darker type of brown, you can color over it but leave the place of highlights, it's not a computer, you can't add highlights at the end. Then take your dark brown and color the tree lightly and the part where the shadow will be, tightly. Then take a pencil and do the shadow.

Well that's couple of tutorials, it works for me and I hope it helps you

I will make a video soon.

Awesome guys! Beauty Jenna thanks for that short tree tutorial and I got prisma colored pencils with a colorless blender. It works better than I thoughtit would. Oh, Night I think I have what you're talking about when you say the little white stick thingy and I will try to blend more with crayola pencils using white. Thanks for the help. If you have any more suggestions, please post them! Drew, I am very happy you're going outta your way to do that tutorial.
