people have been telling me to do one of these for ages now, but i was never sure how to go about it. since no one has ever taught me how to use my markers, i don't know how i was supposed to teach anyone else. so here are som basic tips for beginners with Prismacolor markers, as well as a few other helpful hints thrown in.
Someday when i can afford new markers (read: the 12th of never), i'll do a tutorial with one drawing starting from the beginning. But that'll probably never happen now. ._.
The biggest thing to remember is you need LOTS of practice with markers! I've been using them now for 3 years. And look at the difference between my Owen and Abby pics, which were done about a year apart. It may be slow, but it's an improvement.
Full-view or download for the tutorial! Fair warning, it's 1200x3000 pixels, so be patient, dial-up friends. And please excuse any and all typos. :\
Enjoy! And if you liked this and found it helpful, let me know!
yay! i'm glad you liked it! I was a little nervous about this, since i've never done anything like this before. So i'm glad a collector of tutorials approves. I'm glad it didn't cause your dial-up to explode either. I did it at 72 DPI so that it would be easier to load.
Nicely done. It makes sooo much more sense as a Markering Tuturial. I will learn to read one of these days. Either way you did a good job and some well displayed tips for would be markerers. Keep up the good stuff!
Fearn Tips: Use bleach to remove marker that you DON'T want. Works best on marker paper.
Go under your sink and look for different cleaning solutions.. Try splattering them on marker to see what you get. ^.^ I like rubbing alchohol (can be used as a bender as well).
Awesome tutorial. Woot! Blenders ROCK

Wow, so complex and detailed ^^ I rarely draw in 'real life' but when I do I use oil paints, so it's very different... But it's quite interesting to read about markers and paper and so on, I didn't think there was so much involved there. (but I guess to outsiders thigs always look simpler then they are... or maybe it's just me)
like i said, they take a lot of practice. i would love to see something by you with traditional media. i don't think i ever have seen one by you like that.
Well, I have only one semi descent oil piece, just has a bunch of trees on it... Maybe I could photograph it and post it here... if I can work the magic digital camera ... How hard can it be really, right?
