Testing Mediums: Derwent Inktense Pencils

In short, I like the Derwent Inktense pencils, but I feel I need more practice with them to fully appreciate their potential.

I must admit that for this study, I didn't use just Inktense pencils. I also used Faber-Castell and Derwent Coloursoft pencils because I lacked some colors required for the technique. The Inktense pencils in my 12-set had a few unusual colors and were missing white.

Looking at my artwork, I notice she still looks a bit green, but that's alright since this was just a study to test the pencils.

I discovered that Inktense pencils are water-soluble, which makes me excited to experiment with them using water. This realization may explain some of the slight choppiness I experienced.

Would I recommend Inktense pencils? Yes, kind of. I say this because I want to see how they perform with water.
