Anyway...

Thought I'd try something new, as well as do something not commonly done (by me, anyway).

First, I used construction paper (as opposed to typing paper) to make an ACO (I chose yellow).
Then, I thought to color the subject (Gene, in this case), and last I thought to feature a colored pencil (I have a LOT of vintage colored pencils, but I don't often get a reason to feature them).

Well, I failed horribly (of course---I mean, I am the guy who has "I can't draw, either, but that never stopped me" on his profile ...I should add 'and I can't color' to the list), but at least it's an upload (right?). ^^

HYPOTHETICALWATCHER: "Wow, PrismaColor used to suck back in the day"

Well, yes and no.

Today's PrismaColors blend better, but I know you're referring to Gene's appearance here ...I didn't use this (or any) PrismaColor to fill in Gene's fur---I used a Stabilo 'All' marker intended for writing on glass and so forth
...it didn't turn out so well---the 'All' marker isn't for coloring (I just thought the All's white stood out better than that of my white pencils) ^^

That said, the featured PrismaColor was used to fill in Eevee's mane and tail (modern PrismaColors filled in the rest). :3

For those watchers who use PrismaColors, this featured one may seem a little off. For one thing, this model is made by Eagle Pencil Co, as opposed to Sanford.

The featured PrismaColor was made sometime before 1969 (duh!), but after (per my best guess, based on the logo) the late 1950's (I'm unsure exactly when the 'E' logo took over from the spread-eagle logo).

This pencil's roughly 70 years old or thereabouts.

And in case anyone wonders, I generally use Crayola pencils to color my comics ...because I don't really know how to use colored pencils (so why waste good ones?).

I know coloring is a process (involving blending tools, baby oil and so forth), but I'm not in the habit of polishing crap (ie, my line art), so I just fill-in when I make comics---I don't try to blend or shade (and I'll not use my precious Holbeins on Gene! lol).
