Graphite on Illustration Board
5x8in Acrylic Inks on Illustration Board
Fun. Of course. Acrylic inks are kinda like watercolors but you can layer a lot faster. Its also the bad part about it. If you don’t work wet enough, you will get streaks. I need more practice with it though to say for sure.
ive always envied other artists who get some incredibly rendered paintings using prismacolor markers. ive been taking advantage of my creature design assignments to try and grasp the marker medium and for the first few runs i was pretty unsuccesful. BUT this last assignment was pretty rewarding. now the hard part is gonna be remembering exactly what i did to get those results ’cause i have to be honest with you; it was mostly accidental. i mean, i knew what colors i wanted to use and everything but its the blending that always, in my words, f*cked me. so hopefully, fingers crossed, i remember the techniques used and can fulfill my fantasy of congquering prismacolor markers. anyways here are a few of my marker paintings done in previous homework assignments in order from worst first to decent recent

this piece has been a wild ride. its been almost 2 years since ive touched my watercolors (the jimi hendrix portrait) and man did i forget how much work is put into the preliminary stages. the ending color scheme wasnt really what i was going for but i blame that on the 2 year brake i took. the blue-green in the background came out a little too green and kinda throws everything off. the only thing i was pretty satisfied with was the face, which is where i want the focus to be so i made the difficult choice to stop messin with it and leave it as it was. so here is all the preliminary work and the final. enjoy
