Lovely posting, VERY long, I have to read it again, but please tell me something: I see you try a lot of pencils, can you tell me the differences between neocolors II and aquatone? I have the aquatone from Derwent, I;m also a Derwent fan, but I'm curious to lknow more about neocolors, they seem similar to aquatone. Is that so? What do you think?<br /><br />Thank you for your answer and for this posting again!Life momentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09154845286267106477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6215712962756896902.post-45091775224690711762013-06-13T16:58:53.818+01:002013-06-13T16:58:53.818+01:00Thanks for the pencil evaluation-good thing you ar...Thanks for the pencil evaluation-good thing you are sticking with one brand or you would have so many art supplies, lol!<br />carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16551031050575078402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6215712962756896902.post-20713122652528998632013-06-11T20:34:13.075+01:002013-06-11T20:34:13.075+01:00Loved this article!

I also have a small tin of Inktense. But I rarely colour anything in not even with my Promarkers LOL! Don't include me in the candy draw, let them go to someone who will love and use them.

I had not heard of white blending before, but will be investigating it shortly. You undersell yourself, as your colouring and shading is lovely and I enjoyed looking at all the different technques and colours you used. I like using pencils (no mine are not all Derwents) but will hav to try out some of what you've shown us here today. As for moving to Cumbria, I think that Derwent should add you to their team wherever you live, you would be a great addition,especially promoting them to crafters.<br /><br />Sue xSue's Crafty Cornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06768968818725130718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6215712962756896902.post-77394463272472237562013-06-11T09:35:51.125+01:002013-06-11T09:35:51.125+01:00You sound a bit like me!

Over 80 pencils, Inktense Blocks, Willow Charcoal and Derwent XL Graphite Blocks. I love Derwent and too would love to live on their doorstep and beg for a job. I do have a few Non-Derwent producats too, Faber-Castel and Steadler, they are good, but not Derwent. <br /><br />I aim to collect as much Derwent products as i can.

Bought a few more recently but dont really use them much simply because I dont really do a lot of 'colouring' simply because I dont know how! Might have to try and change that now since reading your article. Thanks for taking the time to give us your views and opinions. <br /><br />Take care <br /><br />Jackie xJacquelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06361109829529764843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6215712962756896902.post-83486984146095168292013-06-11T08:55:26.609+01:002013-06-11T08:55:26.609+01:00Wow.

Prob because other than a ate of water colour pencils I just have kids ones:-(.
