Answer #2

I love the smell of crayons. I don't know if that's weird, but it just reminds me of when I was a little kid. Plus, crayons don't really need to be sharpened like pencils do. Sharp + elementary kiddos = not a great idea.
Answer #3

That really depends on what you're using them for. Crayons are good for adding texture, or layers, while coloured pencils can be used to create shades using varying amounts of pressure.

Yes but they don't seem to work well together on the same canvas, it is almost like writing a story and then just changing the font the whole time.
