And I love it. I had gotten the pencils a few years ago, and I use them to this day. With the addition of the markers, I believe I could be unstoppable. Just kidding, I'm not THAT good.
But I do love to draw. I thought I'd share with you a drawing I did that uses both the markers and the pencils, and I thought I'd share with you some of my tips for using them.
First, it's a good idea to know your materials before you dive head first using them. I practiced and scribbled with them for a while before actually drawing with them.
It's also a good idea to know what you're going to draw, and the colors you'll need. For example, I draw a lot of people, so the portrait set seemed to be the best set for my needs.
Some other tips include:
*Don't press too hard on the markers and pencils. If you press too hard, they'll break, or you'll use all of your ink.
*It's always a good idea to outline what you're going to draw in pencil first. You can always erase it later.
*If you are using the markers, make sure you make your outline as light as you can. Once you trace over with the marker, you can't erase the pencil.
*When you go to sharpen the pencils, press lightly, the harder you press when sharpening, the more of a chance it'll break.
*The cool thing about prismacolors is the ability to layer and blend colors. Don't be afraid to experiment with it. It's one of my favorite parts of using them!
To the right is my print I made. I used the pencils for the vinyl part, and the markers for the lettering.
Here are the colors I used:
For the pencils-True Blue, sunburst yellow, light umber, peacock blue, chartreuse, dark umber, cloud blue, and carmine
For the markers-
tuscan red and blush pink.
Hope you find the tips helpful!
What are your favorite art mediums to use?
Maybe you could review the IPad pro? Do you like that as much as you like using these?
