Pencil crayons are great to do small sketchy types of illustrations. Sometimes we tighten up to get a finished sculpted look but mostly we like to work quite roughly, with the strokes meshing together and overlaying each other in a way pleasant to the eye. The scratchy line adds movement to a frenetic scene. The combination of graduated areas with linear work looks good. The effect of overall softness is similar to that of watercolour but with more texture. Pencil crayon work moves along fairly rapidly so is a good alternative for the restricted budget.
