One of the things about water color pencils depending on the affect that you want to accomplish,
if you want to keep a delicate line that you are going to just pull some color out of with
some water or you are doing an edging or something like that, you want to always make sure that
the point of your pencil is really, really sharp. Which means sometimes you can't work
as fast as you like because you are always having to go back and sharpen your pencil.
But that's the affect that you want. So, make sure you keep your pencil sharpener handy
and keep that point on there, once in a while it will break like that but that will be a
good chance, I can show you now what will happen you can see I can get a thick line
and thin line out off of that. So, we've got a thick line here and that might not be the
affect that I am looking for. So, I want a real sharp pencil because I just want that
one line like that and there will be sometimes when I'm working and that's all I need is
one line and I need it to be real thin. So, that's why I make sure I keep the pencil real
sharp. You can go back in and you will get a nice, nice bold line but it's not too thick.
Where as if you go back into this one, it's just a little thicker than you like it. So
you want to know what affect you are going for, and if you need a sharp line make sure
you keep sharpening that pencil because it will not hold the point for very long on this
rough paper.
