You asked for it! Here's the Crayon Tutorial.

Now, I've never made a tutorial before, so I hope it's okay and explains everything well. >.< If not, let me know and I'll try to reword it. If you are having issues understand, PLEASE tell me what you didn't get so I can edit properly.

Also, I'd like to know if you can see the words as well. Thank you.
Enjoy!

General Take-Aways:
-Create your drawing with guidelines to follow for shadows and important details.
-Crayons are permanent - it's insanely hard to undo a mistake, so FOCUS.
-Create color groups with your crayons for each color present in your drawing. At the very least, you want 4 colors representing each color (a very light highlight color, the true color, a shadow color, and a very dark shadow color). Do this as is necessary for your drawing.
-ALWAYS begin with the lightest color of the lightest color group (in this example, that's yellow) and work down to the darkest color, which is black.
-Mixing crayons - begin light and continue to add layers, adding more pressure as you go. Judge it by eye which of the colors needs to be added more to get the desired color. (The easiest thing, however, would be to have as many colors as your crayon brand makes. But sometimes that doesn't work if you need highlights, different lighting, etc.)
-Press HARD to get that clean, waxy look.
-Black is always the LAST "color" you use. No exceptions.
-Crayons flake when you press hard - BLOW them away to avoid smudging.
