Just had my first play with the Spectrum Noir Colouring Pencils and I love them they really do give a richer look to your colouring. I would just say the the solvent does smell so I am going to try an old trick of using lavender essential oil instead, see if that will work as I know this is what oil pastel users sometime use.
I'm really pleased with the skirt now works much better.
I am still not that happy with the dress but I know I have to leave it or I risk messing it up.
