chilli again
Trying this again with my new pencils and paper, I’m not sure if it produce much better results proportional to the price difference but definitely a lot nicer to use and blends a lot easier. A lot less effort and strain on my wrist to put colors on.
I didn’t follow the tutorial this time, it could probably use some darker shades in some places.

Hey Cheryl, this is a really useful side by side. You can clearly see how much richer and smoother the new one looks.
You are absolutely right about the materials making a difference. Better paper and Polychromos really do blend more smoothly and take less effort to lay down. Your wrist will thank you.
And yes, pushing some darker shades in the deeper areas would give it even more form. But this is a big step forward. Great work.
