So I have this set of Prismacolor pencils just sitting on my desk, unopened and in pristine shape, and I decided to learn how to use them. I'm accustomed to Crayola colored pencils (more wax than color), so I've made it kind of my "summer project" to do. The blending is a little blotchy, but I think its alright for a first time. The line art's a bit irritating, I know; the guy's head is a bit large and his torso rather narrow, and the girl looks anorexic; but I didn't really pay that much attention to it. [heh.] C&C requested.

Crayola colored pencils are the reason I don't color my drawings much. Anywho...I would like to know what happened to that young man's left hand. His legs are a little too close to be balanced, and yes, his head is a bit larger than necessary. The top of the head is also slightly flat. But the shading on his clothes is superb, so nothing wrong there. It would've been nicer if the shading on his face was more defined or just a [I]little[/I] darker.

The girl's right upperarm seems chubbier than her other one, making it seem a bit shorter than it is. I really like the way you drew her hair and how you shaded it.
Generaly speaking, the coloring is stunningly more smooth than Crayola's pencils, making it look a lot like CG. Have you tried using a tissue make the pencil lines less visible before?

I've had prismacolors for months, and you're already better than me at coloring with them. I just never had the patience to color with them, and I was always so afraid of using them up...

Anyways, all the proportion comments made earlier are all true, but the girl doesn't look too horribly skinny. For anime, she looks fine.

Again, superb shading/coloring.
