It's amazing how challenging it is (or so I find it) to make the application even, but I guess that is one of those techniques essential to the medium that probably becomes easier with practice. So I cued up some podcasts and colored away.

"Getting to know" my colored pencils
I want to learn how to add color to my drawings and have it look good. I love the look of watercolors but am intimidated by them so I'm going to experiment with colored pencils for the time being. I got a couple of books about colored pencil techniques from the library and one recommends "getting to know" your colored pencils by creating small swatches of each color, with as even a color application as possible. I spent a couple of hours doing that today.
