The 3 Marker Challenge

Today I did the 3 marker challenge witch is when you randomly pick three markers (usually copics are used as the markers) then use only those three markers to colour any line art they want (usually people create the line art first so the colours have nothing to do with it but some people like to be inspired by the colours.) The colours I got where:

1. Yellow
2. Pinkish Vanilla
3. Water Lilly

Materials Used:

• Brush Markers
• Copic Markers
• Copic Multiliner
• HB pencil
• Smigle Eraser

Crayola Challenge

  Today I did the Crayola challenge.  The Crayola challenge is when you sketch and ink a drawing with whatever tools you want and then use only Crayola branded products to color. Some of you might wonder why this is such a challenge, I found this a challenge because I am use to using alcohol based markers and for this challenge I used a 20 set of crayola water based makers and water based markers act very different to alcohol based makers for example:

• Alcohol based makers blend better then water based markers.
• Alcohol based markers can bleed through your line art.
• Water based markers eat away the paper if you layer risking it to tear a hole trough the paper.

etc.

I tried not to blend or layer to much because that could cause the paper to tear. I found that it was easier to pick colors with crayola markers rather then copics because simply because of the fact I had a wider color selection.
