This started out as a new experience with an opportunity using new pencils. These types of pencils aren't made for coloring books because there's smearing. However... after a little research and going through what I already own, used a tombow brush to blend te pastels. They're beautiful colors so I went small in my first try. Went back and forth with a stump and also laying down a layer of Prismacolor first and last to see how it would look. Not too shabby if I say so.
