Colored pencils are really my medium of choice. I thoroughly enjoy the feel of them and have, I believe, a pretty good idea on how to put them to good use.

The following links are for the tutorial I put together following this piece from sketch to completion:

Enjoy, and if anyone has done something using this tutorial, I'd like to see the results.
