I bought this big set of Cray-Pas the other day kind of on a whim. I had been eyeing them each time I went into Utrech with G while he bought supplies for school. I finally broke down and bought them yesterday. I can't wait to dig in and start coloring, although I love just looking at the array of colors in the box, untouched. Hopefully I can remember some techniques from my basic drawing class at UMass Amherst. I do remember sketching models with Cray-Pas then blending the drawing with paint thinner and getting totally dizzy and lightheaded from the fumes. The drawings did end up looking really cool...but maybe that was just the fumes!
