Hi grrrls and guys and everyone in between!
I decided to share some test I did on different types of papers and sketchbooks with Copic Markers (Sketch Series) in this way maybe you’ll find the type of paper that adapts the best to your style and technique.
I used these alcohol based markers:
Sketch Copic Marker
- 0 Blender
- BV000
- B00
Blick Studio Brush Markers
- 065
- 018
Legend for Image 1 (above) :
L = Layer (example 4L = 4 layers)
0 = I added number Blender (#0 in copic naming) the mix with colors and see the results
0 = I added number Blender (#0 in copic naming) the mix with colors and see the results
The website you have to check if you are an Illustrator (or want to be one, maybe if you just like drawing too)
The image on the top is from Moebius a french Illustrator that I recently found. I love the colors he uses, the comic finish, and the beautiful landscapes that he depicts. You can see these images and more! in this link > Artist of the week: Mœbius
which is a website where you can find awesome images of different illustrators. I think it is good for inspiration and references!
I also share the main page just in case you want to see more > https://characterdesignreferences.com
Did you know about this page? Was I the only one who didn’t know about this resource? haha
