@immarisabel Thank you very much. (I've now fixed all the embarrassing spelling errors.)
That’s an interesting activity. I bet you’re having fun balancing the blue so there’s not too much blue but also just enough blue that it isn’t straight up black. I used to have that trouble back when I was painting, but I'm not sure if its the same with colour pencils—fun thought though!
