In this demo I started with 3 cool grey markers, cg1, cg2 and cg3, making sure they aren't too dark. Then I went over the marker 'underpainting' with colored pencils, bringing in the color I wanted. Not a heavy application of color, but keepiing it light so the markers still come through as some shadow. My colored pencils I also combined as tr-tone, a light, a medium and a dark color.
Alcohol Markers are lots of fun to color with. What's even more fun is creating a couple of cute Trading Cards with them. Alcohol Markers are very suitable for that.
In this Class we're going to explore various techniques on how to color effectively with them. To help you start coloring with Alcohol Markers I will take you step by step through a number of ways to color with them. Included in this Art Class are not only coloring techniques, but there's some info on how to create trading cards, I will show you which papers you can use and more.
To get you coloring right away I've created a number of cute animal trading cards which I will use in the lessons and that are part of this Art Class as an image you can download and print. You can work on the prints or transfer the sketches to different papers. Yes, I'll even show you how to do that.
After going through this Art Class you will be confident in coloring with Alcohol Markers and it might even encourage you to explore and experiment with them some more on your own.
The lessons are all easy to follow and well structured. We will be looking at:
materials to use
transferring sketches
