Marker test #1

[telophase]

This is NOT the Gojyo pic. It's not even a picture that I drew - I wanted to try out the markers on the small marker paper that I had, and instead of wasting time drawing something, I traced a panel from Hikaru no Go and colored that.

This is a mixed media technique - you lay down a base of watercolor pencil, then marker over it. The scanner emphasizes the blotchiness - it's not as obvious in the original.

Never thought to try watercolor pencils under markers....makes sense...

I'm not entirely sure they're using watercolor pencil in the Japanese book, but I've got another one that says watercolor. And it makes sense - the Prismacolors I've got are a bit waxy and ink doesn't stick to them well.
