Review and demo for using a HEAT PAD with colored pencils! | Drawing a tulip

A heat pad can be used under your colored pencil work to soften pigments for easier blending. It also creates a more vibrant, painterly look to your artwork and removes most of the graininess. It cuts down the time you need to spend on your creation and is a LOT of fun! In this video I try it out for the first time with a demo of a tulip and show you all my experiments as well as share my thoughts, tips and techniques!
