Crayola crayons

[eye_of_toad]

Another impulse purchase. I couldn't pass up a box of crayons for only $1.25 even though I don't really like crayons.




I played with it for a bit longer...


And then remembered why I don't like crayons and got bored and switched over to ink. (I'll post that one separately in a moment.) Ink is just so much faster than either crayon or colored pencil. I still think it's super cool that there's a set of 24 different shades of skin tone, but ... I'm not sure I'll be doing that much with it just because I'm lazy.

I think you are my art twin. 😂
I'm so glad I'm not the only one to buy a load of markers and special marker sketchbooks and then go back to watercolour/gouache because it's easier to put colour down...
I did look at some artists filling the giant sketchbook and yes, I was tempted! Even though I know I'd do two pages then it would be relegated to an expensive door stop. Before Covid, I did a sketch-booking evening course for a few years and loved it because not only did he persuade us to try things we'd never have tried otherwise, but I actually filled a few sketchbooks.

Oh! And I too dislike spiral bound sketchbooks...

I miss art classes just because I get so much more done with a schedule reminding me. I love to draw. You wouldn't think I'd need reminders to do the thing I love, but... it's still easy to put off and get distracted doing other things.

God yes. If I didn't have fandom challenges with deadlines I'd be faffing around and never get anything done. And the art classes are great for that too.
