Prismalcolor on Mylar drawing. That was my favorite technique to draw with. I only ever knew of one artist that used the same technique in the US. When drawing on Mylar the pencils have to be very soft, otherwise the surface gets damaged. Prismacolor pencils are perfect but they brake very easily and have to be sharpened every minute or so. I average 40 to 50 colors for one drawing. They can be used with another color or two, but when the surface is saturated, it appears shiny and becomes permanent and as durable as oil paints.

When the drawing is complete the back image can be seen exactly the same way as the front. I have to place the drawings on a sheet of paper to give it the background for framing. I still have all 125 colors of pencils the company ever made.
