The Colored Pencil tool 
lets you apply dry pencil strokes that blend when you apply light pressure, and overlay when you apply firm pressure. The Colored Pencil tool does not apply bump to a surface, and it will only smear when you apply pressure to the canvas. You can use the Smear tool to blend colored pencil strokes.
