The drawing element of a new module is when all my pennies disappear!
Enter Promarkers, see the tulip below, I complained all the way through drawing this that I didn't like the Promarkers, they were too harsh, they weren't blending, they were bleeding blah blah. By the time it was almost finished I'd really started to like them.
However, they are harsh, it's all or nothing. Once you've made your mark its there and it can't be taken back and that's what I don't like about them. I don't feel brave enough to use them and they force me to make strong decisions. Which is probably exactly why I need to stick with them and find more confidence making bold decisions.
Therefore I definitely need to up my collection!
The other new product I tried was gouache. I loved it!
I've only recently become comfortable with watercolour, as you'll know if you've read earlier posts. So I'm getting used to a brush rather than always reaching for the pencils, but I loved the colours from these! They seem to be more controllable (is that even a word?) than watercolours. The colour has more pigment and much more vibrant...and the little tubes are really cute!!
