Hi guys, today i tried the cheapest colored pencils from faber castell for this drawing of a Macaw. I was really surprised on how well they performed and i think there is nothing wrong in starting with these cheaper sets. they layer well and has adequate saturation. They may not be lightfast though.

Materials used:
Faber castell triangular grip colored pencil set of 24
Fabriano artistico 100% cotton hot pressed water color paper.
