Well my internet and tv cable was out for almost 24 hours. So I attempted to draw my first ever landscape. Just to pass the time. My sun and clouds Trying to use colored pencils is hard, they are waxy and you can't erase or change anything easily like with a regular pencil. And trying to blend different colors doesn't work real well. Or I just don't know how to yet.

you did really well colored pencils are harder, and blending you can do by doing soft layers of different colors on top of each other. you're really good at perspectives and composition I used to use Illustration board, worked well for me with color 2. Paper for Colored Pencil Drawings This becomes an even wider choice. Any paper that has a bit of “tooth” (an overall texture that isn’t overly smooth) will be good. This helps colored pencil grip evenly. Here are my favorites, and each one gives a different look. Stonehenge paper is great for colored pencil. It has an even tooth, and is 100% cotton. While it’s cotton, it is an affordable paper (1/4 cost of the smooth bristol). It comes in white and light colored tints. It’s available in large sheets and pads. Illustration board is a good option for colored pencil. It’s rigid and durable, and can take heavy burnishing and pressure. It’s great for scratching details out of colored pencil with an X-Acto knife, for it resists gouging and tearing. It comes in a variety of brands and surfaces. Suede board is my all time favorite. It’s only found in custom frame shops and is very expensive, but worth it! You want to only use the lightest colors for colored pencil. The fuzzy nap of this board will make colored pencil take on a pastel-like quality, and you can can blend it with your finger. (Never use a stump or tortillion, it takes off the fuzz!) You can use pastel on suede board as well. Pastel can be used on the darker colors, since it’s heavy and opaque enough to cover. (Colored pencil isn’t) A colored pencil drawing on suede board Artagain paper by Strathmore is another good paper for colored pencil and pen and ink. While it has a somewhat smooth surface, it still has enough tooth to evenly hold the colored pencil. It comes in large sheets and pads. It’s available in a variety of colors, and has a speckled appearance. It’s made from recycled paper stock. Mat board is also a great drawing surface. Available at the frame shops, it comes in 32×40 sheets that can be cut down. Some framers will sell the scraps left over from framing. My favorite one to use is Crecent, #1008 Ivory. www.artistsnetwork.com/medium/drawing-what-kind-of-paper-should-you-use

thanks for that info, yeh I tried blending yellow and orange to give me a setting type sun but they didn't seem to blend together. Kinda smudged, and not used to the different type of pressure needed to use color. I can see where maybe different paper would work better. I wanted to have bright yellow blend into a burnt type orange, and then make it look like it was reflecting onto the water also, but I could see where it wasn't really working well, so I gave up. I guess it would also help to have patients also, I have none

yep, it takes patience, layer upon layer, until you get the deeper colors, using light pressure the whole time
