Today's marker practice #4
Today I worked on an Ayumu I've been refining for awhile. I think a huge bottleneck for my marker practise is taking the time to draw and line the art cleanly so I've begun creating a single lined design, and then tracing it onto other shikishi. Kind of accelerates the learning process. (So I've actually coloured this exact Ayumu like 3-4 times and each one is unique in its own way (mostly they have different mistakes 馃槀).
It's pretty tough working on watercolour paper with markers by the way. Everything bleeds... The markers bleed as well as the fineliner. So I had to be super careful with working on it. It's leagues better than working on cheap Daiso paper though. The ink would absorb instantly and I wouldn't be able to blend any of the colours.
I've also purchased Copic Marker Shikishi. Theoretically, these should be perfect for my needs, but they're pretty hard to get a hold of though for a reasonable price... I think I have to proxy them from Japan. For now, I'll be using these water colour shikishi.
The watercolor shikishi are also quite fragile. Overworking the paper/ using a regular eraser can damage it. I've started using a kneadable eraser which damages it a bit less. It makes my kneadable eraser fluffy instantly though, which probably cuts the lifespan of the eraser 馃槄
I've also purchased Copic white ink that's useful for patching up mistakes like things bleeding beyond edges. However the paper is actually off-white so if you look closely you'll be able to see the copic white ink.
But yeah, learning copics have been really fun! I haven't posted much recently and it's because I've just been iteratively working on my marker skills. 馃挭

marker practice ayumu
#love live#ayumu uehara#my art#myon's marker training arc#i think the light grey i have is running out of ink#it was a bit of a struggle#markers are scary#how do i graduate to colour when b/w is so comfy... LMAO#i was writing a lengthy blog post that featured all of my experimental ugly wips with explanations but then tumblr did an oopsie and#none of it saved and like; man.....#but i'm pretty happy with my progress!! the really early experiments were super ugly LMAO#once i feel comfortable with b/w ill probably toy with colours but its a bit conceptually foreign to me#cus there's only like#select colours#so you have limited colours to pick from? and to blend with?#and i dont really know how to mix pigments#aand on top of that im not sure what are the best ways to mix mediums (like if i wanted to do a colour wash#i can use water colour right??? is there an order??)#(like water colour is obviously water but copics are alcohol based so like does it matter what order one goes on the other??? AHHHH PANIC)#i have many questions... and for whatever reason started rambling in the tags#i like ayumu 馃槉#(im have a lot of tutorials to watch)

markers #21
Happy Birthday, Ayumu! 馃コ馃コ
While I was in in Tokyo earlier this year, I passed by a crafts store and found lots of pretty paper flowers. I thought they'd make really pretty shikishis... 馃槉
I've been drawing Nijigasaki for 4 years and this would be the 3rd Ayumu birthday I've drawn for... Wow! 馃槄馃槄
Ayumu's my favourite by far - so much that it's kind of hard to word why but I'd hope that adoration comes across in my art. There was originally a comic I was making for her, but I couldn't finish it in time. I hope I can make one in time next year!
WIPs
#this shikishi was especially so fun to work on!#i experimented more with colour glows (eg. yellow blue green) and it really adds to it!#Also when gluing the flowers i realised i should pay a lot of attention to the angles so i can indicate a third dimension#(eg the falling petals as opposed to gluing flat)#it's cool!!!#i bought tons of stuff from stationary and craft stores when i was in japan#so im excitedf to use them!!!!#i hope i can make better and better shikishis...!#i feel like my skills are still very mediocre but the growth from the first ones is pretty dramatic#lets keep working hard!#love live#love live njiigasaki#ayumu uehara#copic markers#myon's markers training arc
