Explosion
Some more fun with my colored pencils, getting a feel for how to keep colors separate, blending edges, and generally just messing around.

An older sketch done with watercolor, ink, and colored pencil of coneflowers. I have to really work the watercolors into the paper when I use the regular moleskine, but it ends up having a unique surface quality vs. using watercolor paper. I miss the absorbency of real watercolor paper, but I like the smooth finish of the regular moleskine paper for the final colored pencil layers. I try to adapt to the paper found in either Moleskine and make the best of whatever finish I need to utilize. I have both kinds and switch back and forth; both seem to satisfy 2 different styles.

Fire and Ice II
A flame bird resplendent facing an angry ice giant. I started with a few similar shapes and then looked for features the popped out at me and pursued the picture from there.

Another Mushroom
I couldn’t sleep a few weeks ago and ended up just doodling, random shapes and lines turned into a mushroom and other fungi. Crayola colored pencils finished the picture.

Graffiti
Another page that combines doodling from a notepad with the pages of my molie. My initials, a few random lines and shapes, all nestled in another splash of color in my pages. The doodles are in papermate mechanical pencil and the colors are all crayola colored pencils.

More autumn color. I used the Dick Blick brand of colored pencils, which I like a lot, and also some Prismacolor Verithins to burnish the color in some spots.
