I need a little distance to evaluate it and I think the next step might be blowing it up so that it's at least four times bigger. And then really going true black in the shaded pencil areas. But first I need a break.
Speaking of going true black, I made a trip to my favorite art supply store yesterday and picked up a half dozen black sketch markers and artists pens that another blogger recommended. This afternoon I tried them out. I've never used those kinds of markers before....ones with a very flexible, almost feathery tip that's more like a paintbrush than a pencil. It was interesting to see that they have different "personalities". I was most drawn to the feel of the Copic Sketch. Here are a couple of flower doodles that I did with it, mostly trying to get the hang of using it: you need to work much faster (more decisively) than I'm used to and it wants to create very bold marks so I find it a challenge to translate a feeling of delicacy.
