@Melissa_Bailey Thank you so much. These are exactly what I was looking for, the application of beautiful pastel texture in narrative work.

I could use acrylic paint on top of the colored pencil too, but it is the same problem - a water-based medium on top of an oil or wax-based medium. It is actually not a problem when comes to book illustration because the illustrations are meant to be reproduced in book format. I am only thinking about this if I want to sell originals later - it is good to think a bit ahead (or maybe I am over-thinking it, hehe).
