I've been using "Woodless" Hardtmuth colored pencils lately (the entire pencil is made of pigment) and I like the rich color results I get. It's made by Koh-I-Noor. I also like using watercolor paper (heavy, textured) but that's just my personal preference. I also like to mix together the colored pencils with oil pastels too at times.

Original Post: Color pencil ?????

I love to draw with color pencil, I try to use Prisam but is there another type of color pencil that is the best to get the best quality picture and what type of paper will be best to draw on to make the picture look better. I usually just use regular art paper. Also can you give me advise on some helpful techniques to make the color pencil drawing the best it can be. I am about to draw something for my town wildlife fest. art contest. It doesn't have to be wildlife and I want to draw something that will realy get the attention that it needs. Thanks in advance! I want to enter something like this picture, I call her Emma, for the color emarald, my favorite color, what could I do to improve it and wow the judges?
