limited palette beauty, begun
--
Getting quite a collection of browns and tans in my marker bag. Thought is would be fun to work with an all-brownscale portrait as kind of a test run for the spectrum - and if I pick a subject I find pretty for the exercise, I can make it double as the "beauty" prompt for the 100 Theme Challenge. :)

Jadislooking good so far.
I've very rarely tried marker coloring, but I'm wanting to so I've been sort of taking notice of how others are doing it, this looks more like painting than coloring in your approach to it. which makes sense,

FirielThank you, Jadis. :)
I'm using Prismacolor illustration markers with this, so it actually is closer to painting than to the hatching I do with my fine-tipped Sharpies. Bigger tips, and I think the ink stays wet a little longer? In any case, they blend a lot more cleanly than some of your cheaper markers, especially if you're going fast - and some of them literally have brush-shaped tips so you're using the same kind of motor skills as with painting. :) They're like, four bucks a pop or so though, so I tend to collect them slowly and try to choose which colors I'm most likely to need a lot instead of getting them in bulk - and if I want a picture with a wide color spectrum I mix and match them with the Sharpie collection.

Firiel-Think the wet-ink smooth blending is the same with Copics, although I have more limited experience with those.

Jadisthanks for the information. I really like the look of things colored with the fancy expensive markers. one of these years I'm gonna get some to try, but not until I am organized enough that I have at least really given a fair try to all the markers and paint I already have,

FirielMakes sense. Using the tools you've got is a good goal. :)
