I picked up a few new markers the other day. They're really hard to come by around here. The most popular school/office supply stores here don't carry them and I really only know of one art supply store (with only one branch that's really too far away from where I live for me to go there whenever I feel like it) and they happen to be the only ones who sell the stuff. And they're not even Copics. Still good though. I've heard of Letraset before but I've never really seen their markers being sold here.

I'm still not too used to them. I wasn't really expecting to do any colored marker work since they're so damned expensive. Actually, I don't think I'll be doing much more of these.

They are useful for laying out rough shadows for the rough sketches though, before I scan and CG over my stuff.


This particular sketch was fun... and pretty unplanned. It's more like a doodle, really. And I realize that I need a little more discipline with my strokes. I've been spoiled by the ability to erase/press CTRL+Z.

Also, as I've been increasing my drawing and sketching arsenal, I think I'll try out Blogger's new Pages feature that they finally released (and which Wordpress has had for YEARS) and put up a tools-I-use kind of thing.
