About the video: How to Fix a Mistake
Overview
“To end this unit, I will demonstrate a crafty way to correct your mistakes — whether that's a wrong line or another minor error — by applying opaque white with a small brush. It's undesirable to correct large areas this way, but small mistakes can be fixed with white without a problem. It's important to note that you can't draw on top of applied white with the nib. In case you need to draw a new, correct line on top of the white paint, use a black ballpoint pen (not a roller pen, ballpoint!).”

Explore creative inking techniques to bring to life magical illustrations for fairy tales that capture the culture, time, and magic of the story.
