That looks good. I’m glad you managed to get your pencils ordered.
I’ve still not finished my tent page, I did a little more but like you I’ve been doing other things,

I’ve still not finished my tent page, I did a little more but like you I’ve been doing other things,
Thanks
excited to test them Yeah little breaks are good, I've found even if I want to do somthing just taken that little break means I won't feel burnt out with it if I had just kept going, last thing I want to do is feel burned out with what I really enjoy
Ah damn I was a bit late, I've actually just come on to tell @Snippysnips that I prefer the Castle Arts pencil set to my Artezas now I've had a bit of time to play with them 
Sorry Snippysnips!
I've been shamed by a visitor!
They came to stay a few days and did a bit of colouring in with me while they were here and have finished a whole picture! However since then I found some energy and have finally finished one too! 
I made the mistake of forgetting they blend and got a bit heavy handed with the lighter colours and have accidentally muted some of the darker shades - so they do blend! 
but otherwise I'm pretty happy with it and well chuffed I've actually completed something
I've also been playing with the gel pens and so far so good, no bleed through

My god how fast do they work, a few days an a pictures done
I started one last week an it's still sitting, I really need to get it doneHonestly the picture looks amazing, the colours really work well, if you hadn't said anything I'd have thought you had meant it cause it looks good to me
That's good the gel pens don't bleed, am probably going get a pack of those

clearly I am related to the fastest pencil in the west! The energy of youth Thanks
I enjoyed it but my hand was really cramped by the end and my wrist was really sore, I had to take lots and lots of breaks!I will post a pic of the gel pen one when i'm finished
I think maybe next time I'll get nicer pens though, they feel a bit cheap, like they are going to fall apart in my hand and the nibs move about a bit when you are colouring in. They were Castle Arts pens - bought them thinking it was a bunch of shades but it's mostly glitter pens Must pay attention to the descriptions instead of getting dazed by the pretty colours!Yay that’s looking great, well done on finishing a picture.Ah damn I was a bit late, I've actually just come on to tell @Snippysnips that I prefer the Castle Arts pencil set to my Artezas now I've had a bit of time to play with them

Thank you to both!
Here's the work in progress using the glitter pens
I quite like it, it'll be hard to take a picture of because it's a bit shiny though 
The clover picture is the other side of the page of the glitter pen phoenix by the way
I partly did it coz I liked it and partly did it as a glitter gel pen tester Takin one for the team!

I love shiny things, the pens come out so good, I remember having glitter pens at school an they were so rubbish lol I'd be like wheres the shiny

That looks awesome!
I love how you've lighted inside the tent 
When you're so close to the end, that's around when I get bored too
Looks great, really colourful
I feel that as well, once it's close to the end I get a bit bored of it an want to do a new one, I'll really need to go back to finishing what I start
Thanks, it’s the thought of doing all the lanterns and flagsThat looks awesome!

These colours are fantastic, which brand of pencils are they.
I've done a leaf I really like but it feels like it's not quite finished but I'm too scared to do anything else in case I mess it up It's only tiny too
It's only tiny too Finished the phoenix, this was really fun to do with the glitter pens but I am covered in glitter now too :lol Tried to add a wee clip to show off the glitter as best I could but I couldn't do it It's super glittery anyway!

Thank you!
Spot the completely on purpose
I forgot to say earlier that I can happily report 0% bleed through, and I went over some areas quite a few times and got the page quite wet at times
They were pretty easy to blend too, but not sure if that shows up so well in the picture.The pens definitely feel rickety in your hand though, sometimes the nib moved as I was colouring and made me go bit wonky but it was manageable enough
Twas fun

am glad the pens didn't bleed through, that's my fear that I'll get pens an find out I can't really use them cause they bleed, but I love all the glitter, really niceI got a sexy new giant folder pencil case today * wolf whistles* 
Spent a very happy little while arranging all my pencils etc in it and it's awesome, but my round pencil sharpener will go in but I can't zip it up then Can anyone recommend a good flat/small sharpener?

Can anyone recommend a good flat/small sharpener?The little wee metal sharpeners are good but you need a jar or container to put the shavings in. Like these thingsI got a sexy new giant folder pencil case today * wolf whistles*
