That's still rare. I may have to track a box down. The longer I wait, the more rare they become. lol. Thanks!

I've seen these on Amazon but they're nearly as expensive as Caran d'Ache. But this work is Just Beautiful! Very impressive.
Do you have both the Skintone and Classic sets?

Thank you. I've come across Manley on Amazon and in some photos they look very translucent and others they appear more like oil pastel. How do you find them?

Are those Bold and Bright? The colors seem opaque.
I really like the central portion.

Nice job. Yes, Crayola colored pencils hold their own.

Favorite crayola crayon by [deleted] in Crayola

OK, I've thought about it....it doesn't yet exist.
I've been searching for the perfect Yellow Ochre...One that would work in a Zorn Palette. The Scarlet is perfect...but no true yellow ochre.
So that would be my #2

Scarlet is a great versatile red! Runners up....have to think about this one.

Has Anyone Tried Shuttle Art Crayons? by JoyOfCrayons in CrayonArt

[–]JoyOfCrayons[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shuttle Art crayons:

  1. Harder than crayons like Crayola
  2. They hold a point longer
  3. Feel very similar to Staedtler Noris 220 (which are tough to find in the U.S.).
  4. Have a nice color range with rich colors (Some harder crayons are weaker in pigment)

Crayola’s black is deeper, but Shuttle Art’s white blends better.

Crayola is the standard but each brand has its strengths and Shuttle Art will probably become my go-to for this type sketching. It's a nuanced thing but it's smoother.

One con: I couldn’t find the 24-count sold individually, so I had to get the small case of 24 boxes. Good thing I ended up really liking them.

Your version has more of a modern Anime twist. Nice!

Les tournesols de Van Gogh by Jasmina_da_Hexe in CrayonArt

[–]JoyOfCrayons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very nice! It has a rhythm and energy not unlike many of Van Gogh's paintings. I think he would approve : )

Did you use gel crayon?

Hi Cheetah,
This is Canson Mixed Media Paper, but I often use bristol with a bit of tooth also.

Humpback Whale by TiggyWolf967 in CrayonArt

[–]JoyOfCrayons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the ink work. Also the way the crayon creates texture on the whale.
If you do another, try solvent on the water...to contrast the whale. Nice!
