These color pencil innovations show how useful this form of stationary is.
From portraits created using the medium to products that actually include the pencils, these innovations stretch far beyond simple drawings. The beauty of the pencil crayon is that it includes the pigment of paint with the control of a handheld and direct way to use color. Likely to continue in popularity among both crafty kids and established artists, this art accessory has been adopted in a multitude of ways, many of which have been aesthetically pleasing.
An old school artistic medium with a bright future, these pencils aren't going anywhere, and will continue to help artists bring their visions to life. Affordable, and allowing a more controlled use of color, the almighty color pencil is a mainstay in the creative world.
