Both! I prefer to draw with Carmine Red or True Blue Col-erase pencils (erasable color pencils by Prisma) rather than graphite because they are super creamy and don't get dark as quickly so i can be a little more exploratory before committing to a line. I use them for linework in some paintings because they don't have that glaring-shinyness that graphite does so they blend into the paint better. Word of warning though: some of the Cole-erase colors are more/less light fast than others so do your research before using them in gallery work (if it needs to be archival.) Sealing the drawing before painting on top helps too. This is why I use washes of india ink for tone before moving onto gouache washes of color.

Sometimes I come back through your gallery to look at things I've already looked at. Again and again. Your work is never boring.

I just had a technical question for you, is the red and blue pencil used in the process for your painting, or is in esthetics?
