Pencil Sketchbook

I think I went a little overboard with my doodling on the cover of my new and made I proudly add {handmade} Pencil Sketchbook ;-)  I first stamped our Kitty Kat Marci (available HERE) and then doodled the rest of the "scene".  Everything was colored with Prismacolor Pencils and I had oodles (pun very much intended!!) of FUN!!  I don't even think I am done yet as I can see some empty spaces there, hahaha!! 

The front of my Sketchbook is a very heavy chipboard, so this book is nice and sturdy!  I used my new Cinch Machine to bind my Sketchbook.  Let me tell you, I LOOOVE it - so MUCH better than Bind-It-All.  Really!! 

I am going to make these blank Sketchbooks for everyone at my Coloring with Prismacolor Pencils WORKSHOP.  These Sketchbooks measure 6 1/4" x 4 3/4" and include FOUR different types of paper - 34 pages altogether!!  I really-really-really, did I say REALLY(!!) LOVE coloring in the Sketchbooks - you can take it anywhere with you and it is so nice to have something for the color reference and especially to see your progress in coloring.

Prismacolor Pencils WORKSHOP

 

Coloring with pencils has always intrigued me.  I of course remember coloring when I was a child.  Oh!!  I was so in love with my pencil collection!!  Now I feel like I am back to those happy times!!  

I took an online class with Marti and have learned a lot.  What I learned the most though is that I really need to do my own thing.  I tried many different coloring techniques to see what fits my style the best.  I had to try so many different papers to come up with my favorites.  I have a limited number of pencils, so I had to come up with my own color combinations. 

I am happy with my coloring now!!  And, I feel confident enough to teach you too!!
