this will be a short post because it's 2 a.m. for me and i need to get up early for yet another doctor's appointment. i felt like drawing last night (or tonight) so i came up with this doodle on black cardstock.
alright, so the lines of my doodle are way thicker that i saw them in my head when i was designing. the problem is that i've tried a lot of white markers and pens and most of them do not work to my liking! i'm so frustrated about that. i've tried all the signo uni-ball gel pens i have (i own 5...) and most of them write intermittently. no matter how i go slow or fast, whether i go with a light or heavy hand, it just doesn't seem to work properly. so then after i've done my outline, i colored with prismacolor pencils. then i had the brilliant idea of using my poster paint markers. i have them in both water-based and oil-based format. still, i'm not satisfied with them. the cardstock soaked up the oil-based ink so i switched to water-based but i had to go over the lines so often that it resulted in having thicker lines that i wanted. but hey... i'm still happy with the doodle drawing.
if anyone out there has tips on using white pens or find a fool-proof one, please, please, pleeeeeeease leave them in the comments below!
have a great day! CeeCee
