Drawing Resource #12?!

Hello everyone,
   Are you having a hard time blending your colors with colored pencils? Do you want to combine all the colors to make what you drew/colored to look "shiny?" Does your blending stick/stub not work well for you? Fortunately, there is something out there for you! When you want to blend color with color pencils, or with charcoal (more on that in a future blog!), you can use a blending pencil! The blending pencil gives you control on sections you want to blend with the tip of the blending pencil! When your blending pencil starts to flatten, simply sharpen the blending pencil with a sharpener!
   If you want to create a "shiny" effect, you will want to use a burnisher. Not only will you create a "glistened" effect, but you can create dynamic/contrasts within your art piece (e.g., jewels reflecting light while the jewel is on a dull colored cloth)! Additionally, the burnishing pencil will also combine two colors into one, just in case the blender was not able to give you the right tint of color you were looking for! Just like the blending pencil, when your burnishing pencil becomes flat at the tip, you can simply sharpen it with a sharpener!
   If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me here by leaving a comment below, or e-mailing me! I hope this blog entry was helpful! Enjoy! Thank you!:
