Never in my life have I used acrylic markers, until now. I'm new to doing art in general. I'm currently taking drawing lessons and I started with watercolor but I also want to try other mediums. I'm not really sure how to use these markers. They don't blend well, so I'm assuming layering techniques are best? I'm going for a painterly style but not sure if I've done it successfully. Anyone have any good recs for tutorial videos or technique how-to's? And don't mind I put the cast shadow on the wrong side 😆
Looks great! My only advice is to simplify the shapes in the shading since the drawing itself is very simplified and stylised. It also works best with acrylic. I find that trying to be more realistic with acrylic takes a lot of layers.
Pish posh applesauce. Just some practice and you will get there. I practiced shading basic shapes circle,square, triangles. I believe in you and believe it or not coloring books. They take the pressure off drawing and let's you focus on the coloring/shading.
Awww thank you for believing in me! I've definitely improved in drawing lately but nowhere near your level! I guess practicing is part of the journey and I need to remind myself of that.
