DC Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 When you were a kid (or maybe even now), which did/do you prefer to color with? Crayons? Markers? Colored Pencils? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 I tended to prefer markers because they didn’t leave white spots the way crayons and colored pencils do. Ink covers more than wax and colored graphite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyng Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 I preferred wax crayons at first - although I later switched to pencils, as I could colour more precisely with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonface Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Coloured pencils has generally been my go-to, since they're easier to blend compared to things like crayons. I'd probably never want to colour with markers because of the risk that if I make a mistake it'll be very hard to fix it, plus I really hate how it can cause that streaky look when you overlap areas with the same colour pen.

killamch89 Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 For me it was mainly colored pencils and that's because they weren't quite as messy as crayons or markers when doing art and coloring stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 (edited) I remember when I was a kid, I would always take the ink container part out of a marker and put it in things like my glue. The glue would then absorb the ink and be colored. Edited December 10, 2022 by The Blackangel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grungie Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 I liked colored pencils. It was like a better crayon. I didn’t like how markers bleed through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t like how markers bleed through I agree - Colored pencils allowed for a good amount of precision. Even though I primarily do digital art now, as a teen, drawing was a way of expressing my frustrations in a more productive manner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortie Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 I used to love colouring in as a kid and would often get a colouring book that I could sit for hours completing. I always loved to use pencil crayons for colouring as they wouldn't soak through the page like felt tips would and I loved how they looked when a picture was fully coloured.

svjiminfxv Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 I love colouring when I'm bored and have nothing else to do. I prefer to colour with colouring pencils as when a marker is used, it just goes through the paper onto the next page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
