Sketch for the printy [link]

This is number 77- test in the big 100 because it was a test of my resolve to finish this, and it should be a test for you guys to see if you can get any useful info from my ramble.

Its probably full of typos, but I just wanted to get it up, it can have minor edits later.
Have fun with it folks, tell me what you think.

EDIT the file was too big, so its been split into two parts, you can see the second half by following this link [link]

Hello! I am creating an art resource group called the-artists-bible . I am wanting to fill it with high-quality tutorials and resources so it becomes a one-stop-shop for any artist wanting to improve or just needing a little help. This tutorial helped me out greatly to improve my coloured pencil work and I was hoping that you would allow me to add this to the group.

I'm already a member of Drawing-tutorial which is well run and has over 5,000 tutorials.
What sets your group apart from the other tutorial groups that are already out there?

It is not only a tutorial group; it is a community. We value input from our members and encourage them to expand their limits, to try stuff they have never tried before. We feature monthly contests with various themes (usually broad) so anyone of any art type can participate. 

Not to mention, having 5,000 tutorials is pretty daunting. With that many tutorials, many of them can get looked over and swallowed up. I do not want to have that many tutorials in the gallery... I want those tutorial artists to get as much recognition as possible. 

I have previously tried to use groups like drawing-tutorial and various other types and since it is so large and expansive I had a really hard time finding what I was looking for. 

I hope this explained better, I am on mobile getting a tattoo so didn't get to be as thorough as I would have hoped.

Thank you for replying, sounds like you've thought it through. I've submitted a join request and you're welcome to use this tutorial in your group... but its a bit out of date.

Well gues i've to go to the big city to get myself a bledingpencil. But you are so true about the bledingpencil it would be the best i've ever bought... except for well my husky and my clothes and make-up. but anyway it would be the best €1 that i've ever spent.

Anyway anybody knows where to get one in holland?

I wouldn't know where you should shop for them, as you're in Canada and I bought mine in the UK.
I know that Prismacolor make a blender pencil in addition to Derwent and Lyra. Try looking round craft or stationary shops in your area. Or try a Google search and buy online.
