I’m not naturally a very loose drawer, so holding the pen at the end really forced me to stay loose.

This project really pushed me outside my comfort zone! I’ve never really used alcohol based markers before, so I borrowed some that my daughter had. Definitely preferred the less saturated colors from Copic! Although, I enjoyed having to plan out each stroke with the Ohuhu since they are so vibrant. I used my Faber-Castell grayscale Pitt Artist pens to go in and add the shading at the end. They worked great because they add a translucent layer to mute the colors in areas where I went overboard! I also tend to be a very precise drawer when I’m capturing a building in the past, and holding the pen at the end and going straight in with ink really brought the building to life!
