									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a class="bp-suggestions-mention" data-bb-hp-profile="749" href="https://academy.ahrstudios.com/members/c-cratchley/" rel="nofollow">@Tony</a> maybe the original post page limits the size and resolution of the photos? And when you click on them to zoom in you see them with original resolution. Many sites work that way. So I don&#8217;t think you&#8217;re crap at taking photos.  The only one that can answer this question or limitation is <a class="bp-suggestions-mention" data-bb-hp-profile="35" href="https://academy.ahrstudios.com/members/alihaiderrehman/" rel="nofollow">@alihaiderrehman</a></p>

Maybe the number of pixels of your camera or light source? Check maybe the settings of your camera and have a look in a photo viewer in full resolution. My two cents. &#x1f609;</p>

So I went for Polychromos 36 set. So far so good. I&#8217;m doing the avocado &#x1f951; tutorial drawing and have enough of them to complete it. </p>

									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Looks very great. Didn&#8217;t know neither that you could use color pencils on black. Tried once on grey and had a hell of a time. So I thought white charcoal is the way to go on black cardboard. Very nice. &#x1f44f;</p>
