I came here to recommend the Derwent battery-operated eraser, so I guess I'll just second you. :) It erases everything from gel pen to really dark pencils, which makes coloring a lot more relaxing, especially when I'm working with tiny lines.

Eraser in action


So for the past few days, I've been organizing my coloring space. I found a picture that I had really liked from when I first start coloring, but I didn't have any eraser at all of the time and actually coloring the paper Dahlia and dark purple from prismacolor instead of the Sand I meant to pick up. I I did some in Sand as well as Light Aqua b/c I honestly had no clue at all.

I completely forgot to take pictures of it all, but the first picture is from near the end of the first round or erasing, only seconds after I got all I can - these have had fixative sprayed on them since October.

So here are the pics after erasing, I left the forest person, but completely erased from the girl in scrolls - erased pics

Here's the new version.


Edit to add a few things



Derwent's blender and burnisher set works so well. I had gotten the prismacolor because that's what I was advised to get for my newbie starter kit. With the really creamy colors, it worked fine. Buy when I really needed it, like on scratchy colors, it seemed even more scratchy. Also, on grayscale pictures, it looks like uneven skin tone gray scratched on randomly. :/ These are very and have also blended gel pens and pastels. The burnisher is also very good at adding shine.

Not sure how long they'll be there, but they have little crates at Walmart from the back to school sale for $1. They're supposed to fit together like Legos, but there are quite a few that don't fit perfectly. Depending on how many your store has you might be able to find enough that fit perfectly, but someone got mine for me without knowing they fit together and I've just banded them together, so I can move them easily without worry.

Also, if you do any loose leaf work, clear paper protectors are a must. I have. Here's a pic. As you can see, you have to remove it to take a picture, but it protects well, fits in a binder, and is only $0.88 for 20 sheets. again, got these from Walmart, and not sure how long I'll be there after back to school is over. However, I have a couple hundred printed out and a couple thousand on my Pinterest, so 6 or 7 packs seemed well worth it.

I also find a fan brush extremely useful - if you blow or use your hand you risk adding moisture and making it stick.

Also, if you use pastels, Yoplait has a new French flavor that has little pots perfect for mixing colors together. For blending pastels, I also like silicone blenders although I haven't tried them on pencil or anything else yet. I also like a beauty blender with a solvent if you know how the paper will react and have quite a few layers.

Also a flashlight is so useful - allows you to make sure you everything looks as good as you think it does.

Also, I would recommend having lots of extra cups for pencils or whatever you're working with. That way you can separate things for organizational purposes, ie clothes, hair, skin, plants, etc.

Here's a few pics my coloring corner, so you can see how I organized things. The middle pic has a close-up of the flashlight (they're super cheap, I have like 3 of them from Harbor Freight, and they have three different kinds of light).

You can also see my eraser, my fan brush, silicone blenders, my mini Derwent pencil sharpener on the right of the desk (got it yesterday so I can't speak to its quality). Also, beside the flashlight is the Yoplait container I mentioned earlier with a chopstick to grind the pastels. I got three more today, and I am usually a huge food snob, but I have to admit, it's delicious and has great containers.

You can also see that the second shelf has my replacement box (erasers, gel pens|, etc), a couple of bottles of workable fixative, a travel pencil case, and my case of pastels. I just moved them into this container because although I can't say no to $6 for 64 colors, Mungyo's was just not sufficient. I got it from Michaels or AC Moore a long time ago in the jewellery department. Here's a close-up

Oh and how could I forget - bookends. I just got 3 cheap ones a few days ago and, is so nice not to have to worry about the imminent slide whenever I take anything out. I use one for my combination shelf of coloring books and pencil cases.

Another I use for the big file box that holds my Ioose coloring pages. Not sure if many people have this but I have a good two hundred and don't want them to get bent/curved, which was starting to happen previously. Here is a pic of the kind of book and I use, and these are the files in the black box beside the crates. Here is an example of the files, which I do my best to keep organized so I can easily find the kind of picturet I'm in the mood for.

Whewww, this forever so hopefully it helps someone.

> I do hope I'll get something I can use on skin though!

I think it will really depend on how much depth/complexity you want in your skin tones. The Polychromos set does have colors that work for skin tones, but Prismacolor just has a much greater range of colors in that area.

The Polychromos set just doesn't really have as many choices when it comes to neutral tints/tones/shades (like browns/beige). But this can be easily supplemented with the Prismacolor 24-color Portrait set, which pretty much comes with all of the colors you would want or need for creating more complex skin tones. (And, depending on which Prismacolor set you already have, you might already have all of those colors.) It looks like the Koh-I-Noor only goes up to 72 colors, but it looks like it has some good skin tones colors in there (from what I can tell from the image on the product page).

All in all, though, I think you'll enjoy using oil-based colored pencils. I found the oil-based ones seem to handle layering a lot better and can be built up a lot more without just starting to smear (like with the Prismacolor and other wax-based). The oil-based pencils also have a harder core, which can be good and bad: it's good when you are doing finer details and layering, and also because you're less likely to have to sharpen the pencil nearly as often. The downside is it can make filling in larger sections with a single color (like in backgrounds) more tedious... in which case I will often revert to my Prismacolors to lay in the base layers of color.

So there will be a little bit of a learning curve as you start to familiarize yourself with the oil-based pencils and learn the different strengths/weaknesses of them, but it shouldn't really take very long. I'm guessing you'll probably prefer using the oil-based for most things but will still occasionally pull out the Prismacolor for certain things, as I have.

So once you've gotten them and have had a chance to use them for a bit, you'll have to let me know what you think!

Yeah, I'm kind of sold on the Derwent Inktense. What do you think would be better? The blocks or the pencils? I think the pencils are more comfortable and easy to use, though the blocks seem nice too.

Edit: Sooo I found this tin box of 72 on sale in my country and it's like 65 Euro ($70). It's a really good deal right? I think I'm gonna buy these. http://www.amazon.com/Derwent-Inktense-Pencils-Metal-2301843/dp/B001XCWP34

Edit 2: Hmmm, so I read this review and I'm changing my mind a bit. http://hubpages.com/art/Watercolor-Pencils-Reviews#

I see that Faber Castell and Koh-I-Noor are something I'd probably like more. I won't be using the watercolour only with water and I want a nice pigment even when I use the dry pencil. I think I'll be getting a smaller box of Derwent Inktense stricly for waterbrushing and other types for both waterbrush and dry use.

No problem, glad you like it :D

Here are links to my two books. I currently have the prices discounted by 60% for both titles so you can get them for a pretty good price.

Mehndi Designs: Animals, Mandalas and Paisley Patterns

Sea Life: Stress Relieving Repeat Designs

Please leave positive feedback on Amazon if you like them :D Thanks!

This is the one I have.

I don't have a desk, I just do all of my colouring at the kitchen table, but the lighting situation in our house is GRIM. I love that I can swivel this one any number of ways so that the light best hits the paper, and it's a bonus that I can use it to charge my phone since I usually listen to audiobooks while I'm colouring.

I don't know what is too expensive for you but the other day I saw the 72 set on amazon for $65 down from $84 which is quite a good deal. You could always try getting some open stock and build up your collection from there. And I do agree they are a bit pricey, but I think they are so worth it. The ink is much more vivid than regular watercolor in my opinion.
You could watch them on camel camel camel and see if the price drops again.

u/Flinkle · 2 pointsr/Coloring

I have this one and I'm really pleased. Puts a super fine point on my Prismas without breakage.

u/catherineirkalla · 2 pointsr/Coloring

Yeah you did really great on those parts for sure!

I've found the Crayola ones aren't too bad for the price. I suggest getting a Derwent Blender and Burnisher set, it should work well with the crayolas. I mostly use Prismacolor but yeah they are way more expensive.

I have this as part of a 2 in 1 book I got at Michaels. I can't find the exact copy I have online but I'm pretty sure it's in this book too. https://www.amazon.com/Creative-Magnificent-Mehndi-Designs-Coloring/dp/0486797910

u/lurkinallday23 · 4 pointsr/Coloring

I recently purchased these, and they are excellent.

Staedtler Triplus Fineliner

I bought the smaller pack at Michaels Arts and Crafts, but I wish I had waited and looked for them on Amazon, they are a lot more affordable there than they were at the craft store.

u/nipplefarts · 3 pointsr/Coloring

I like it. I would would probably try to keep my color chart in it and would put use the coloring page to actually do different blends of those colors and remind myself of what colors look good together. You should cross post to /r/notebooks.

This is the only one that came up on a quick amazon search:

I have mostly been using this set that I bought from amazon. I did receive 168 markers, but one was a duplicate and one color was missing. I contacted the seller and they said they are sending me the missing one. So far these markers are working great. It was a bit pricey, but I wanted a lot of colors to work with.

I also picked up these gel pens from Costco for $14.97. I mostly have used the metallic ones for accents. The gel pen ink lays over the marker ink nicely.

Staedtler's fineliners come in a pack of 36
for 47$ on amazon, thats the biggest pack I've seen. On my wishlist :)

u/trimi75 · 2 pointsr/Coloring

There are lots of YouTube videos that give excellent tips. Peta Hewitt is very popular.

I use a blending pencil or Gamsol to help get a smooth blending of color. Some people use baby oil or Vaseline, but that was too messy for me.
