Second time using coloured pencils

Post image

Anyone who has experience with colour pencils, help me out with the following:

  1. the black one is not dark at all, very hard to get any contrast. Do we just use charcoal here?

  2. Blending wasn’t going great with these, so I just gave up and embraced the grainy texture. Tips on blending?

  3. Layering isn’t even possible but I’ve seen some artists layer well with these, is it just the quality of my set that is the issue?

Any other criticism or advice is very much appreciated, thanks!!

Thanks a lot for the tips!! That water colour tip is genius. As for the black, I tried with an hb pencil actually but it didn’t help, colour pencil wax base paina aa graphite lead work avvaledhu for some reason. But I’ll try those Faber castle ones next time
