How to blend prismacolors (premiere)?

-
 Hello there! Welcome back  to another post on this blog, hope you will enjoy, and let's get started!
So today's theme is how to blend prismacolors! If you find this topic interesting you might also check out my "How to blend graphite" post by clicking here.








Sooo there are a few techniques I wanted to mention today:

1. Layering and blending w/coloured pencils

This is the most simple way of blending them, by layering a colour on top of the other one and just repeatedly doing it over and over again until you're happy with the result.

2. Using tortillions  

I haven't seen anyone use tortillions for blending prismacolors, but this is my personal favorite way, as it blends them, but still gives you the ability to continue layering them afterwards.


3. Using Prismacolor colorless blender

I haven't tried this one out myself, but a lot of people recommend it. I've heard that you can not layer nicely afterwards, so that's bad, but overall it looks pretty decent.

4. Using white prismacolor

This one works REALLY well, but if you do it I recommend using a shade darker than your desired colour, as it will lighten it more and more when you blend. If you are confused, all you have to do is layer a coat of white prismacolor over the other prismacolors that you've already put on the surface untill it blends.

5. Using cheap white colored pencil

By this I mean blending the colors with a white crayola, or white staedler colored pencil. All in all any basic "school" white coloured pencil that has more filler than pigment can work.

This would be it, I've been saying "prismacolor" for quite a bit in this post, but I hope you liked it anyways! Have a nice afternoon, and a successful week! Love you so much, baiiii ! <33

Hello there, I'm glad to see you here, happy New 2021, and we shall hope that it'll be better than 2020. Now, today's theme is "Why I don't like art reposting pages?" If you have Instagram you've probably seen at least one art reposting page, and if you haven't you'll see what I'm talking about in a minute.                                       ::  What are art reposting pages? Art reposting/Art featuring has been really popular lately. Basically these are pages that download your artwork from your original account and repost it on theirs. They usually tag you to give you "credits", but sometimes they don't, and that is even worse.  :: How do they gain so much fame? If you've ever seen an art reposting page, you probably know that they usually have 80K+ followers. In my opinion they gain fame so fast, just because they are an amazing source of inspiration and daily content for everyone. They repost photos and videos, advertise

Prismacolor : The breaking leads?

Hello there, I am back.  And let me be honest with y'all, I have missed blogging A LOT. And from now on I will be posting on Sundays + in my free time. Soo every Sunday 2pm CET you can expect an art related post from me, enough chit-chatting let's go! Prismacolors have gotten worse throughout the time? I have watched some YouTube videos about this, and the fact that they changed over time. Soo I would say they have changed, but they haven't gotten worse if I am being honest. The formula got softer all at once so that was a huge upgrade, but else than that not really much (just design of the pencil). And they haven't gotten WORSE they've gotten BETTER, if you ask me, but yet that's just my opinion. The breaking leads? So I've heard a lot of people saying that their prismacolors' leads break A LOT. And let me tell you, I own a 72 pack for a year already, and I NEVER, NEVER EVER had a prismacolor lead break. So I was wondering : "Wait how the hell do t
