Depends on what youre drawing. Black and white is better for a photo realistic portrait. But color works for the more cartoonish light hearted stuff.

Well I think you saw some of my colored portraits of dogs. It does make them more interesting...kind of cartoon-like. I have a friend who can draw portraits with just markers (no pencil, and the markers are actually almost dead). Hers look sooo realistic. Her art as a whole definitely inspires me.
I like turning characters from popular movies and shows into cartoons. And you should totally take advantage of the colored pencil! I LOVE colored pencils! They are so fun and relaxing.
I'd like to paint, too. I don't have a lot of painting experience. I'm hoping my friend might be able to teach me.
