I tried smth new!

Using a 96-pack of crayons to create artwork is an exciting challenge that really pushes your creativity in new directions. When I recently decided to try this myself, I found that limiting myself to one medium helped me focus more on blending colors and shading techniques. Crayons are often thought of as simple kids’ tools, but with a bit of patience and experimentation, they can produce vibrant and nuanced pieces. In my experience, layering colors and using the side of the crayon instead of just the tip opened up more possibilities for texture and depth. Pairing crayons with pencil for fine details also helped bring the drawing to life. This approach allowed me to express mood and personality through color choices and artistic style, which is similar to what the original artist mentioned feeling funky and inspired to try something new. For anyone interested in exploring drawing with crayons, start by selecting a few colors that you feel drawn to and experiment with mixing them directly on the paper. Don’t be afraid to go bold or create unconventional shading. And remember, the beauty of crayons is their accessibility and the joyful, tactile experience of drawing. Whether you’re a seasoned artist or just starting out, experimenting with crayons and pencils can lead to surprising and rewarding artistic breakthroughs.
