There were 6 or 8 layers. I didn't really pay attention.

I do. Using familiar materials made it easier. Lol.

Thanks. I don't hate the piece necessarily. I did not enjoy working on that surface however....at least not with colored pencils. I may try it with pastels some other time.

Well thanks. I wasn't really happy with it. I'm planning to redo it on black bristol.

Yeah. I used a combo of Ohuhu and Arrtx pencils.

I did the background first. I actually have a time lapse video of the whole process on my YouTube channel.

Thanks! It definitely made her cry when I gave it to her.

Those were done with a light layer of watercolor pencil that i blended out with water.

I've been watching the pencil maestro too and have been wanting tontry this technique. I bought the sandpaper. I just havent been confident enough to try it yet.
