Some pretty ladies, done using the Copic Sketch markers in the set “Primaries”. I used Pilot G-TEC-C4 pens for the fine lines and details. I realised after the fact that I missed an opportunity to make my sunshine girl darker skinned, but since I was using just 2 markers for each face I think it’s […]

Test runs, sketches and really rough work. Stuff about planning future pieces
High Rise
Hi-cut swimwear has been making it back into the rounds again. I wish I had a brighter red, maybe I should have used yellow. This was an experiment, where I laid down all the skin tones before doing any line-art, and I’m still really liking the ballpoint pen as my line-art. Copic Markers, White Gel […]
Doodle-dump
Practising skin tones, I saw a 55% coupon at Michael’s today, and got excited, I was able to save some money and buy a set of Copic Sketch markers, obviously I picked up the skin tones set. And got home and started to get to playing with them to see how to include them with […]
Washi Tape
I saw this done by an artist on Instagram, and I wanted to try it. I ordered some really pretty washi tapes from eBay, and went to town, the one above is my third attempt, and I think it looks the best so far, the two below are my first two attempts. I love this […]
Pretty Face
I’m still playing around with this kind of drawing, the slapping down of colour to create the form then going in after to add details. I’m really enjoying it so far, as I feel I can be messier in my initial approach, and it still comes out nice. I’m especially fond of how her nose […]
Happy New Year
Happy New Year, I hope you all have a great 2018. I didn’t “sketch” this out like I normally do with all my drawings, I just grabbed two markers, a pale grey and a black marker, and went to town. I must admit I love this final effect, and I’m going to try to use […]
Test
Trying to learn how to do underpaint  (is that a word?), this is about 2 different layers each sealed with a matte medium. The base layer is the ink shading, and the second is the watercolour tint. I’m still sorting how I feel about this technique, I need to try it more I think. Ink, […]
This is a rough sketch, mostly because I screwed up on inking the heart (I won’t point out where). Also my cobra’s face is a tad too long for my liking. I’m still trying to figure out this one. I’ll get there. Also Happy New Year! Pentel Fude Touch Pen in Red and Black Brush […]
This imo looks terrible. But, it was just a super quick experiment which is why the text is wonky and the planchette isn’t even. I’m still trying to learn how to use the P.H. Martin’s Bombay inks properly. I love their vibrancy, but I have to work crazy fast to get nice blending. I am […]
Lemons
Some lemons. I was trying out the Dr. Ph. Martin’s Bombay India Inks. So far I like them more than my watercolours, they stay crazy vibrant after they dry which is the best thing ever. Dr. Ph. Martin’s Bombay India Inks, Black Brush pen.
