Here's a sketchbook page with a Prismacolor colored pencil design. I don't really like to do much colored pencil work anymore, because it takes a lot of force to blend like paint. Painting takes a much more delicate touch, using a brush. Since I like the colored pencil marks to show vivid colors, I hold them vertically and apply great pressure to blend different layers of color. After awhile, my hand gets sore. I have had long painting sessions that makes my hands feel like they fall asleep (all tingly), but after a long session of using colored pencils, my hand could be sore for days afterwards.
