Argh these stuuupid markers!

Well I've had another outing with 'the markers' and I think i'm getting the hang of them slightly, I'm happier with Tink's hair but I'm still strugling with blending the colours properly. I've seen people use coloured pencils as well as the markers to add highlights and shadow and make it pop more so I might give that a try.

I'm actually quite pleased with watercolour effect on this Tink drawing, not so much with her dress although the shadows and stuff are clearer on the original, my cruddy scanner has messed them up.

Well I suppose I can keep watching tutorials lol, hopefully I'll master them eventually!

My new markers!

I've been toying with investing in some Tria markers for a while now and since I got some money for my birthday I decided to bite the bullet and give them a whirl.

Here is the first image I've ever coloured with Tria. The jasmine was drawn from memory so she's not perfect and I still need to work on the highlights, especially in the hair, but all in all I think I did okay for a first go!

If anybody has any tips on using these kind of markers it would be great to hear them!
