I think I will do more in the future. It blended so easily, and look...no white background :) Update - Kraft...Read More
A few years ago when I started coloring I was just "feeling" my way around using my pens. With no exact instructions on how to use my pens, what paper worked best...and ink pad choice. When I first started I was using STAZON (highly NOT recommended). I was just days away from giving up because everything turned out like monkey...Read More
