My Coloring Supplies Setup


Curious

1,211 views

I had these pictures in my Coloring Supplies ~ Colored Pencils ~ Part 1 post, but for some reason they are giving me fits.  They keep showing up randomly in other posts and just generally being a PITA.   So I'm giving them their own post and hope that finally makes them happy and cooperative.

This is a table next to my recliner:

Here is a labeled version so you can tell what is what:

It's not an addiction.  Stop looking at me like that!

Wow, Curious!!!:AOK:

Your post is my new supplies goal.  How many different colored pencils do you think you have?  I try new styles and brands yet end up with the same 50 or so colors.  Do you know of a brand that sells different tones and hues than the same ol' same ol'?

@violynnkelly   By now you have probably seen all the pencil brands I have.  I do have a lot of duplication on the "basic" colors.   I just look at the non-basic colors in a set and guess whether they are going to be the same as another set I already have.   I've looked at them so much that I have a relatively good idea what they look like.

If you have several sets that have your main colors in them, I'd recommend getting the woodless ones in my Coloring Supplies post.   Even though they have the same basic colors (as well as others), they lay down color a little more smoothly than any other pencil I have and they have different shades of the basic colors.   

They are long lasting (I have yet to even sharpen one) and the colors are very vibrant.  You can get a lot of difference in color based on the amount of pressure you put on them, which isn't easy with some pencils I have.

@Curious  Thanks, I am definitely going shopping this week for the woodless pencils.  I'm still very clumsy with my coloring and just learning how to blend and shade so that my pictures don't look awful.  This hobby is so good for sending me into a calm state my blood pressure is even lowering.

Do you have any opinions on Prismacolor Premier art markers?  I just got some and they seem to be darker than I'd expected. The crimson red marker looks almost purple on the coloring book page.

      I would say that if Art isn't fundraising, that their basic needs are being met by their income.  Sure they aren't going to go out to dinner or buy lottery tickets but if their basic needs are met, they can work towards other goals without the stress of knowing if they can make rent or pay for utilities.

      I know a trans person (male to female). It’s been about a year since they came out. Their birth name is Harry but they go by Hari.  Saw new pictures of them today & they look like a natural female.

      some trans or nonbinary people try to pick something similar to their origin name to make the transition for other people easier. so Maddie to Matthew or Bailey to Bryan. considering Artemis real name is Cynthia, they could have gone by Cy, pronounced "sigh" or Cyril, Cyrus, Cyd. Artemis Stardust just seems like art wanted a name they deemed as "cool". but honestly makes them standout in a negative way since people know art did it on purpose and probably wasn't named that at birth. And if Art wants to change their last name why doing they just takes their partners last name. They said a while ago they were engaged and tried to thrift money for a courthouse wedding. with matching tailored tuxedos and custom rainbow rings. Art if your health  and death wishes are so important to you  just go to the courthouse and get married, you dont need to beg hard workin people for money so you can have pride rings and a custom tuxedo, there are suits at the thrift shop and cheap rings anywhere

      Crockett seems to have been spending a lot of time with his brother and Hayley in FL. I wonder if seeing them married is giving him the itch to get married, too.
