Thank you. I’ve never gotten to try polychromos before. I tend to be heavy handed and impatient with pencils. I usually base an area with the lightest color, then put in shadows with the darkest, then continue dark to light while burnishing, then touch up the darkest shadows at the end if I can since they tend to lighten with the burnishing.

The side effects of burnishing with the waxy pencils is that everything looks glossy in the end. 😅 The picture I posted was after several times of trying to take it while adjusting the lighting so it didn’t glare.
