I used Inscribe before I moved onto PanPastels. Mostly I use Ezyshaid pastel powders as they're quite soft & come in lots of different colours x

Love the ideas, especially the owl one. Would like more info on using chalk pastels. I'm afraid to try them because of the messiness.

Check out my PanPastels review, there's hardly any dust with those :)

Thanks for your most interesting ideas. You're quite right, as much as I love colouring, I do feel sometimes I would like to try something different. I'm not very imaginative myself so your tips should get me started. Thanks, Jenny.

Great post and very helpful as I'm frequently in a rut and need to move on to other methods of coloring.

I like number 2. Use only one colour family idea. I'd use reds.

This is a great resource! Thank you so much for this information. Picking a color palette is really hard, and referring to all your suggestions is great! Your work is amazing! God certainly gave you a gift to share with us! As I struggle with my anxiety and grief with the recent passing of my Mother, this is surely a help to me. I thank you so much!

I have no idea if it was deliberate or a happy accident, but your beetle has almost all the colours of the non-binary pride flag, and the two dragonflies above it are in trans pride colours! I love all these examples, but was particularly delighted by that!
