I got by for like a year with just the Volt cigalikes and cartos. They're so much better than the other brand I was using (almost didn't make it with those). But I had to carry around and maintain FIVE of them every day.![]()

I have an orange charcoal pencil I could do the tree in. Would that look stupid in a B&W drawing?
The thing I don't like about it in B&W is that it is so dark because most of the snow is in shade.
Did everybody miss this question or was it too stupid an idea that nobody wanted to say?
This was regarding the snowing river pic.
Without a doubt it was not a stupid question . . .
However, It is "Your" choice - YOU ARE THE ARTIST - be it totally done in B&W or with just one or all the trees done in orange . . .
AND - To be very honest - I think it would look great if you did, especially since it would emphasize what "YOU" found important or should stand out in "Your" Drawing . . .
(As "You" can also see by the way in which - I use the editor to modify "My" post using different text sizes or bolding/underlining certain words or some with color or even adding smilies in some . . . Just Sayin' . . .)
While they are photos - Here are just a few of examples:

Thanks for your feedback. I might just do that tree in gold just to see how it looks. I'm curious now.

Yes, I've noticed that.

I like the subtle color in b&w, like in the first 2 pics but those bright red flowers & balloons don't do anything for me.

Everyones taste is different as "You" WELL Know, especially by not agreeing with "SandySu" who does like the ballons . . .
The IMPORTANT Thing Is - "You" - can see and understand what I was trying to point out to "You" . . .![]()
Oops! Difference of opinion in the balloons.![]()
It might make your white pencils a little more effective though...Thanks for doing this Sandy. It doesn't look like the pencil eraser will work for me. You've saved me some money.![]()

But yeah, getting fine points in any eraser is tough - because they're so soft, they get really wiggly and break off. The eraser pencils are a little stiffer than the click ones you've been using, but still.
Since we have so many horse people here I thought I'd show you my last horse. He was the best trail horse I ever had. Just look at that kind eye.
