Coloured Pencils???????

Day 1 -
I exclusively use graphite in traditional art, so using coloured pencils was very new. The swatch looked so exciting, but I feel like I didn't bring out the potential of these pencils. I got artblock and doodled with a marker, then made a few smaller drawings that I felt better about.
If anyone asks, no these supplies were not expensive. They're the ones you'd find at a primary/elementary school.
