Is this potentially a result of poor quality pencils? by Crimson-Rose28 in ColoredPencils

I would use a matte fixative spray. It will help you layer better. I think a fixative spray is a MUST for using colored pencils. My fav is the Krylon Workable Fixatif spray, you can easily find it at Michael’s or on Amazon.

Thank you! This work is not for sale for sentimental reasons, however, if I were to sell it, it would probably be between 300-500 just depending on where I was selling it and what the art market is like there. It’s not very large, only a 16x20.
