This one is a mixed bag- Mr. Sketch colored pencils, Pentel color pens, Prismacolor pencils and some Sharpie (metallic) details.

To All, I am loving my drawing courses on Craftsy-yes, with practice, drawing can be learned.....but....I LOVE MY COLORING BOOKS!

Going into Irma, I just couldn't concentrate on drawing.....but I could focus on my coloring books, total bliss!

I have become absolutely taken with color pencils and watercolors....Craftsy had a sale and I'm enrolled in quite a few courses, but in regrouping over Irma which hit where we live, it just grounds me-either at the beginning or end of my day. I am so grateful we have power-and A1C: I am so grateful that our house and immediate family are fine and that I have the luxury of being able to color.

After Hurricane Charley hit, I would have given anything for life to just be normal.

This is just a small thing, but many in Texas and Florida have lost homes, and I know there are contributions of household goods and hygiene concerns and clothing.

My personal project is going to be to donate coloring books and color pencils....if you can, please donate to whatever organization that will take your gift-including a woman's shelter in your community.

Hugs,

Poodlepet2

@lolakimono. . . . I like your pictures. I really enjoy your color schemes. If I ever get around to taking photos of some of my own pictures, I'll post a few of my favorites.

Hugs. . .

Life is tough, but I am tougher!!

This is the last one I had in the pipeline. I'm not sure if I'll go back to my day of the dead, cats & quilts, or the arabesque next.

I told BF it reminds me of Jewish fidget spinners. This is Sharpies, Mr. Sketch pencils and Prismacolor pencils.

I found these in the dollar section at Target. One of them holds 72 Prismacolor pencils, FYI, and the other one has 18 of the Mr. Sketch twistables, for reference.

I got tired of having to lift out three trays to use the colors in the Prismacolor tin.

@lolakimono,, I thought about getting something like that: the trays do take up a lot of space, but I travel with my pencils!

I did see a set of pencils sold in a really cool roll up bag: I'm going to have to look and see if just the bags are available anywhere....

Hugs,

@Poodlepet2I bought a roll up type bag for my pencils at Hobby Lobby. It was very inexpensive and if it is at regular price you can get a 40% coupon to use on it. I think it was originally $ 10.

@lolakimono, I like really like the 2 that you colored of the cats ... those could be great designs for cards.

I'm glad that you are enjoying this art form.

@lolakimono, those are great pencil / inkpen holders.

I've been using lock and locks to hold 3 sets of pencils. They work good, with leads up. Once the weather changes, I'll have to be back in and color too. These are very pretty colorings.
