Mine was too. My original thought was HEY LETS PUT THEM ALL IN THIS RANDOM BAG AND CARRY IT AROUND. it... yeah it didn't work. Now they're just in the drawer until I figure out what to do.

what i hate about these (and the color pencils i got) is that they dont have any kind of like labeling or numbering, so when i want to go back to a certain color i get lost cuz they can be really similar. i guess i could make my own labels or something but im lazy and there's a lot of them

Wish sells adorable pen bags that have those little elastic thingies that you slid an individual pen into. I know the way I phrased that makes no sense but I can't think of how else to put it
That sounds kinda like the little zip up thingy I have for my colored pencils

I hated that too. I numbered them myself, then wrote down the numbers in a notebook next to scribbles that matched the color.

Then I lost the notebook, but that's beside the point.

IT was storming so I had some time to color. Can't finish it, hands are hurting >.>

I don't know why, but the skin colors i used didn't blend properly, You can't see it as bad in the picture, but there's lots of weird lines.

I think the fur looks good :o

also do you (or anyone else here) use oil pastels? I just bought some for the first time and I kind of like how it turned out but I don't really know what I'm doing

I haven't, I want to try them at some point, but I'm not allowing myself to buy any more coloring utensils until all the ones I have now are used up.

Oops, I also meant to say thanks about the fur.

I love it. Now I wish I had put a moon in mine. :(
Thanks <3 I stole the idea from facebook. (A video I linked on the forum somewhere last week) taped a little piece of paper down and colored around it and it worked super well :o I was pretty surprised. I need to buy one of those paint pens so I can make stars, the gel pen stars didn't show up at all. .-.

Also I Just went scrolling through a bunch of pages seeing if you posted yours so I could see it and I couldn't find it. In case you see random old post likes.

Oh, tell me how paint pens work when you end up with one!!! I haven't colored in a while, but will be ready to dig my books out again after Christmas. I will have to try your moon trick :twohearts:

3rd time using oil pastels. I'm not good at realistic stuff in any medium, but I think I did halfway decent.

That's cool! I like the little fluffy details in the middle.
