      White pencil still works but it creates a different effect. It lightens any colors you use so it'll blend great but only if you're blending for the purpose of getting a lighter finish.
      Colorless blenders are pretty cheap. It also works better in distributing the pigment evenly. Great for burnishing and after you blend you'll have to add another layer.
      You can also blend with a similar hue. Different methods achieve different things so it's good to have different tools at your disposal

      And art class (usually together with P.E and music )in Chinese school are often been replaced by main subject(language, math, psychics, chemistry etc). Just one time out art teacher does not get sick( most common excuse for those main subjects took over these classes) and she was teaching Anime and Celluloid so she played spirit away on our class time and gave us a HW just draw an anime character.

    Burnishing to me is the easiest and smoothest! Layering often leaves a lot of white spots, colorless blenders don’t work as well with darker colors, solvent can damage paper, saturation and tonal burnishing are good unless you don’t want to change the colors and powder blenders to me are a little difficult. Everyone has their preferred methods tho!

    I am 43 years old and I just started really getting into art last year. I've always wanted to do so much, but never had time to. I started learning to paint with acrylic paint and absolutely love it. However, I recently got a new set of colored pencils and have honestly never really used them before. I always used markers, especially alcohol markers. Thank you so much for this video my man!! It answered a lot of questions I had and you made everything easy to understand. And I absolutely love your hair too. I am now subscribed and can't wait to watch more of your stuff. 🙂

    I had no idea there were so many possibilities with colored pencils. Thank you so much for explaining and demonstrating these different techniques, and how they might be used. I just got a book on colored pencil use and some Prismacolor scholars so I’m super psyched to get started! Yay! This makes me even more excited because I really love the effects that are possible!
