It's a really unforgiving medium. I tried for a few weeks earlier this year. It just isn't fun. I enjoy experimenting with alcohol markers. So it's not trad mediums or permanent mediums that are the problem. But it's really hard to get the right values, you can't mix or blend and the pencil strokes direction shows. If you rotate the paper just to give your hands a break it'll show. You can't cover it up. You can't save it. You have to do everything perfect. Fuck colored pencils.
