With colored pencils you have the precision of a pencil, but you can create images that look like paintings. There is an ongoing debate as to whether images like the one above that I created are drawings or paintings. I believe they look more like paintings, but are created using drawing techniques.

You should give colored pencils a try. You can create really colorful, sophisticated pieces.

The only colored pencils I use are Prismacolor:

At first they seem really expensive, but once you try them you will never go back.

So what do you think? Are they Drawings or Paintings?

Are you a colored pencil artist? Please share you creations with me.

Love Joy Peace,
