How do you achieve these so dark tones with polychromos? your black seems pure black. i find aome problems making the dark tones due the semitransparent quality of colored pencils. any advice?

Hi, I too had real issues with this and still do to a certain extent. I asked a number of Artists on DA where I saw great dark colours achieved. I got the dark colours with lots of layering in this drawing. Really dark blue and then black polychromes. I now use Derwent drawing pencils for the backgrounds in my more recent drawings. I use chocolate colour and then black and use a blender to try and reduce the 'noise' the white flecks which appear. Sometimes I will then spray with fixative and then another layer of black I'd try a number of combinations on test paper and see how you get on. Another artist recommended I try charcoal pencils, but I didn't try this as I would be fearful of spoiling the drawing.

Hope this is of some help, best of luck
