Description
Random doodle which I decided to use for another coloring experiment with my Sharpie fine liner markers.Unfortunately my scanner is starting to go completely senile, so I had to use my digital cam to attempt to capture it. This is as close as I could get it to the original after tinkering in photoshop. eh... :/

Heheh yeah if I don't finish something in one sitting I tend to never get back to it.
This one really did require a break though, I was starting to get lightheaded and a head ache halfway through.

It never fails to amaze me that people can get such crisp, bright, results with markers.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks a bunch!
It definitely depends on the type of marker though, these sharpies stay nice and vibrant even after they dry. Gotta be able to endure the nauseating fumes though lol.

Have you tried Copic Markers?
Or PrismaColor markers?
I've used Prismacolor,
they're pretty amazing.
THAT is amazing.
Did you sketch it first in pencil?
Or is it 100% sharpie with no sketches before?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No I haven't used any of the other kinds of markers.
Might have to give them a go some time though.
Are they less smelly than sharpies? If so then I'll definitely have to get some
And yeah it was a pencil doodle to begin with. Just something random I drew on the couch, I decided to experiment on it with sharpies after I did the sketch.
Thanks a lot for the comment and fav, much appreciated

Not only are they less smelly, but they're bledable, vibrant, and they don't make weird blotchy lines when you go over the same area twice.
Copic markers have often been confused as Digital media.

Ooh that does sound nice. Thanks a lot for the info! I might have to get me a set one of these days
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
beware,
I've never got my paws on a set...
they're explensive
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
So they are.
I just looked them up on the net.
Ah well, something fun to save up for

Ach, once you're high nothing matters any more. Right?
I own two Sharpies. One black on (stolen from home) and a silver one an American friend gave me. Fun times.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol exactly!
And ooh @ silver one, I'm going to have to hunt for one of those some day
I have a set of colored fineliners by sharpie. They look like normal fineliners but they still have the horrible smell of normal sharpies.

It gave me a happy half hour doodling on my black sketchbook cover.
