But that's my entire shtick!
The pencils I use are "coloursoft" pencils, a special type of acrylic pencil that puts down a LOT of colour very quickly, and as you layer it, it gets darker and more vibrant. There's also a high wax content in the lead, which means you can sharpen it to an extreme point that doesn't break easily. This is really good for comics, and good for people who draw small like me. The main "downside" of coloursoft pencils is that they don't blend well, so if you want an exact colour, you sort of have to own that colour.
While most of the pencils I use are the Faber Castell Polychromos brand - I was lucky enough to be gifted the full set after years of drawing comics. Before then I made my comics with a much cheaper set that's also very good. The yellow-gold in Konsi's under-dress here is one of those such pencils.
That cheaper brand is Staedtler Ergosoft - they're pretty inexpensive, because they're marketed for kids, and they're sold all over... but they're really good quality - if you want a nice set of cheap(ish) pencils, they're the ones I recommend. The packaging for the 24 colour set looks like this. (There's a tin of 36, but it's harder to find) - If you don't care about getting an exact colour, a set like this is all you really need.
Thank you again, so much!
