Hey, I have a quick question regarding choice of materials.I doing studies masters' quick sketches(like steve huston and glen vilppu) to improve my line quality and pencil handling, and noticed that the results and the feeling i have with a hb pencil, an 3b pencil, and prismacolor are a little different, so i wonder whats your thoughts on this. thanks in advance

Hi Elson, Using a coloured pencil can be helpful to start "forgetting about using an eraser". As the pigment in the coloured pencil can often hardly be removed from the paper (unless you use a knife, which is also a good tip). I like the butteriness of a graphite pencil but will also just draw a portrait in one colour using a Polychromos (Faber Castell), making sure I stay light on the pressure until I'm sure of what I've put down on the paper.
