I want to give a card to one of my teachers and wanted to decorate it personally, I have never been into painting, but I don’t want to get anyone else to paint for me. Wish me Luck

    Cool. I always liked colored pencils, but I can never get them to do what I wanted.

    Not that I practiced enough in the first place of course.

    I tend toward simple lines and drawing comics more, I love black and white ink line drawings

      I also feel like they might not be great if you wanna make something more than simple drawings/colorings

        Colored pencils?

        Yeah, I don’t think I ever got passed crude brontosauruses and t-Rexes with those.

        But boy, was there an excess of dinosaur coloring going on, haha.

        Oh and one detailed gryphon in 9th grade.

        Actually, I remember that this one gryphon turned out so well that I stopped used coloring pencils afterwards haha.

        Like I thought to myself " All right, I’ve reached the peak of my craft. Time to move on."
