More marker Fords! Marker musings under the cut.As I’ve written in the past, I’m new to markers. I haven’t posted too much marker art mostly because the pen I usually use for inking takes forever to dry. I thought then, why not use one of the brush pens since they’re actually designed to dry fast lol (next thought is there are probably pens designed for marker use). Which then led to me using the opportunity to test out line weight! And the thing about markers (and painting, so I’m told) is that the speed you use them starts to matter, so lining and coloring with them is an especially trying time. Draw too slow and the color is too dark, or worse, the color starts bleeding everywhere. Draw too fast and the color is too light and you need to make a second pass, which may or may not be good. The bad is when the lines visibly overlap, and you’re not going for that kind of style!Fortunately, mine don’t dry so fast that I can’t blend on further passes, but one false swipe and it’s an un-erasable (which is why I used a previous pic of the third drawing instead of the final version).When using brush pens, the angle also starts to matter, especially if you want to vary line weights. The taper is a fun part and why pen pressure is a thing in digital art.Still, it brings a whole new dimension to art that’s fun to play with. I also can’t say that I’m necessarily using them correctly or that the paper I’m using is the best. Maybe it doesn’t have to be so tense!(Note to self, watch more tutorials) If you’ve read this far then I’m going to assume you have a non-zero amount of interest in the drawing process itself, so here’s a little treat. The very first marker drawing I made:The order was pencil -> marker -> ink. You can see how initially I had a different idea of how blending works and how unprepared I was for the speed required to use the markers. I think I did small “sphere blending” tests beforehand but still I was unprepared! -- source link
