Step-by-step Tutorial for All Ages
Originally I had planned to let my daughter use this blend and shade pad because she loves to draw, but I was intrigued by it myself once I received it. The 40 pages include 4 tutorial pages in the front, which discuss how to blend & shade and mix with colors. The colored pencil pages have technique exercises except for the last 3 which allow the user to use and practice learned techniques. The 20 marker pages follow a similar set-up. The quality of the pad in top-notch. My daughter and I shared the pad, and we had a great deal of fun learning from the exercises. I would recommend this as a gift for anyone who wants to learn to add depth to their colored pencil and marker drawings.

So cool!!
I got this a couple of weeks ago for my 12 year old daughter. After it arrived I decided I kinda want it also. It is so cool it teaches you how to blend, and shade with markers and colored pencils It has really neat pictures and examples it shows you step by step. My daughter loves to draw and this book is so perfect to help her really learn how take her skills to the next level. I really love this book for me, I have never been a great drawer but have always loved to do it. It makes me feel like i am amazing at it now. Thank you crayola for making this book.

So much fun!
I love drawing and sketching so this blend and shade inspiration pad was perfect for me. It gives you simple instructions on shading in both pencil and marker. I was entertained and I felt like I took my drawing skills to the next level. I especially loved that it included shading with markers since I have never seen that before and it was something completely new. I think this is great for anyone who is a beginner and wants to learn how to shade. I am so happy that I got the chance to try this inspiration pad for free.

Great for any age!
I am so impressed with this book! I love making art and crafts but always steered clear of drawing in my projects because I was unsure how to do the shading. This book gives examples, explains techniques, and gives lots of practice pages. Some pages are specially for colored pencils and others for markers. I am having so much fun learning and can't wait to try it out on my next project. This book will be fun and useful for lots of different ages, depending on the level of skill.

For the budding artist!
This is a great pad to learn how to shade. It shows how the position of light affects the shades. It has great exercises including shade by number. Further in the book is teaching how to blend two different colors. There are lots of pictures and still lifes to color in. This is a bit too advanced for my young boys (less than 6) but will be very useful in a few years since they both love to draw. I am really excited to have this as a tool for advancing their art skills.

Inspirtational ;)
After receiving my pad I opened it up and was pleasantly surprised to see how informative it was. It comes with so many example art projects dealing with blending and shading. The tutorials are simple and to the point and the other pages are really pretty. I would have liked to have some regular plain paper in the book but overall it was a really great and interesting book.

Useful tool
I really have enjoyed using this as it helps you learn a lot of useful tools for new artists. It has easy to follow instructions and diagrams and plenty of pages to fill up. This is not necessarily for super young kids but more for older children that want to learn fun drawing techniques
