An Interesting find - This is a waffle, so feel free to ignore

I never draw with colour pencils on plate finish paper for obvious reasons. But I drew this on Daler-Rowney bristol board and the colour pencils went on .... and they blended ... and they look like paint in real life ... I like it! I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't tried it out myself. I did only use 4 colours mind you, with a max of three layers are any one point, but for graphite drawings with a touch of colour, I think this is good
