:Wow: Very interesting, i like the simbols you've used and the cats eyes look so hipnotic.

Ah! That is so adorable. I like the coloring, it seems to blend so well. I dont see any grains at all! Even if I use a blender or blend the colors in well grains always seem to appear. How did you do that?

Thanks so much! :D

I build up several light layers of color before applying heavy, stronger layers. Colors react differently while blending, depending on the order in which you apply them. Sometimes starting with a light/medium tone & adding darker tones on top of that works well, sometimes it doesn't. Experiment with your colors and see what works for you - it will take time but you'll have fun doing it:D
Sometimes the paper you use can make a big difference - I used 100lb smooth bristol for this drawing, it takes colored pencils very well and really helps give your work a smooth look. :)

PS - I don't use a blender, I just can't get them to work well for me.
