The best way to come up with new art ideas is to start sketching in a sketchbook! Graphite pencils are fine, but for adding a bit of colour, Prismacolor Col-Erase pencils are perfect. The erase just like pencils, but have colours like coloured pencils, so it's the best of both worlds. I also couldn't help but draw a finished picture too, and I used the softer and more heavily pigmented Prismacolor Premier pencils for that. Follow along with my sketches, and we'll see if I can come up with some creative inspiration!
