Description:
I pulled out the markers again. This was a practice to try to shade without the blotchy look I got before. It's better than previous marker attempts, but not quite there yet. I'll probably be adding a lot of marker pieces as I practice with them more.



For anyone who browses DA at all; yes, this is meant as a subtle poke at the horrid between-page advertisements that plague the site now.



I may stick it on a shirt eventually.

Media:


- White conté crayon

- Micron 0.5 pen

Prismacolor markers:

- French Grey 20%

- French Grey 40%

- French Grey 60%

- French Grey 80%

- Black

- Clear Blender



Drawn on a piece of eight-inch by eleven-inch, standard copy paper. Shadow added in Photoshop CS2.

Each of the grey markers comes in a different shade. They make 10% through 90%, 100% would be black and 0% would be white.

Excellent use of the pprisma markers. No use in buying the most expensive markers ever unless you can make good use of them, as it appears you have.
