Blending Experiment

I have several different tools that can be used to blend colored pencils and thought I would compare them side by side to see what each image would look like.  I mainly did this out of curiosity because I had watched several artists on youtube blend their drawings in many different ways, the neatest I found was the baby oil and paint thinner (which I do not have an example of for two reasons: don't have any because its expensive and I have no good way to properly store it safely).

So, I made the same image and tried the three ways I could blend my pencils; I also did a little test with some soft pastels I got because you can blend them with paint thinner and since I didn't have any, thought I would do it with baby oil.  I tried out the Prismacolor colorless pencil, Prismacolor colorless blender marker (which I may need a new one cause the one I have was acting weird), and baby oil.  Each image is labeled with what blending tool I used and I used Prismacolor colored pencils for 3 of them.
