markers - prismacolors - excuses

first of all, please excuse the little hiatus. i'm really trying to update this blog regularly, but sometimes i can't think of a post idea/i don't have the time/i'm not in the mood/the sun is in my eyes/insert some lame-ass excuse here.

also, sorry about the lack of picture, but, don't worry - there will be more soon.

i got prismacolors! and faber-castell pigment liners! and cool bleed-proof paper! it's very exciting. i've been wanting to do more with markers after seeing camille's inspirational marker work, but all i had was my brother's old dried-up primsacolors (the fine tips were unusable and the colors were dull). so, i finally shelled out $30 and got five markers and a pack of pigment liners and quality paper!

i love markers. i've been messing around with colored pencils but, damn. it takes a really long time to color in something all smooth-like. markers are quick, convenient, and really fun.

what are pigment liners? jeez, the things they don't teach you in art school...

pigment liners are pens of various tip size filled with india ink. it's pretty much a quality way to ink your drawings with something that won't smudge with erasing or marker coloring.

wow, that sounds great! as long as they have teeny tiny sizes.

yeah, i feel that i can go pretty fine with the small liner. they're really excellent and i would highly suggest them.

i got a pack of four (of varying tip sizes) for about eight bucks, so if you're looking into new art supplies, i would suggest them.
