Inktense ......

I got some Inktense pencils from Tracey's shop these are pencils that have ink in them, hence the name INKtense. I found if you scribble lightly where you want the colours you get a much better effect! And then use your water brush to spread the colour around!

Miss Tilda and her bunny were my first victims.



I have used Distress Ink tattered rose for the flesh tones, as I didn't have the right sort of pink in the pencils, and she looked awful just left white!

I don't think Tracey has any more of the pencils in the shop at the moment, but I am sure she will be getting more in!
