Thank you~
Haha I think you might be right. When I get it 'right' it looks so good. When I don't... eh. It goes in a box. Lol
pft. No secrets here. I use Derwent Coloursoft colour pencils and usually use cardstock paper, but the last two I've done in a sketchbook with a fine texture. I like heavier weighted paper (70 lbs +) because it stands up better for layering I think. I like smooth paper because I want to minimize the texture you get with colour pencils, but sometimes texture can give it a nice look too. I'm just particular, haha.

Oh really? I can never find anything over 70 lb at home. Is there an Arnold Busck in Copenhagen? I've been searching around for an art store (although it's probably better on my budget if I don't) to stock up. I have, I like their pens a lot. It's a great brand, but outside of graphite pencils and pens I haven't used them.

Yeah it's the brand Canson. I can't remember where I got it. Idk I just looked it up and there's one on Købmagergade. (Btw don't get confused with this letter: Ø lol just ignore it and think about it like it's this: Ö)
Idk I don't live in Copenhagen and I have only been there like once so I don't really know it quite well. You can always ask around and hear if anyone know it. We Danes are usely quite friendly when it comes to asking us the way to something.
Yeah I like them too. But there aren't that many different shades of colours in the colour pencil pack I got.

Oh gosh. I just looked it up on google maps and I've walked by it at least twice since I've arrived. It's right next to the student pub/coffee house by the main campus buildings, lol. I'll make the journey down there this weekend and take a peek.
(Haha thank you.. I'm still getting used to pronounciations. I'm terrible and Danish is hard to learn to speak properly...)
Yes, I get lost quite frequently and everyone is very kind about putting me back on track. Or how to use the metro. Or the bus. Or the laundry machines... It's been an interesting 3 weeks.
:/ colour packs tend to do that I find. They either throw a whole bunch of similar colours together, or really dissimilar colours and expect you to deal with that. I always find greens are the worst for not having enough shades.

I popped in and took a look. xD It was all very tempting. Knowing where to get good pencils and paper is a definite plus, when I need to stock up. I discovered a Panduro Lobby as well that was a bit closer and a bit cheaper for some items, so I think I'll watch both stores and see what I can splurge on later on.
