One Marker Challenge - Tumblr Posts

Another one inspired by DrawingWiffWaffles! This was a One Marker Challenge, although I did cheat a bit and use a colourless blender as well. I’d like to do some more of these using other markers. She’s not quite on-model, but this is the Dai Empress I mentioned in that set of 4 sci-fi eyes. She is very busy and important.

I did a one marker challenge! Well, one and a half markers; I did use a colourless blender. In hindsight I don’t think I needed to, the white space I left around Nettle is big enough that I could have done sharp purple shadows on her skin.

The purple marker didn’t layer as well as I hoped, it would only go a tiny bit darker with multiple coats, even when I waited for it to dry.

My blender ran out when I was trying to lighten the background. It’s a Copic Ciao so I ordered a refill, with only a small grimace at paying £7 for a bottle of clear ink.
