E_B_A Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 I think I always press too hard. Dunno why. But I did try different types of pressure and everything with this and it still fucked up the markers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuLaSauRuS Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 It would be more work but I've done it.... sketch on a blank piece of paper....cut it out...and then glue it onto your spray-painted piece of paper...add forcefield/second outline to merge it a little better w/ the background...I've done it, works great.

E_B_A Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 The new Bic Markit pack is out with 29 colors including lots of pastels and light and dark grey. Mix that with Sharpies and you have the poor-man's prismas. Also: bought some blowpens. DEFINATELY worth the price. Not only do they not fuck up permanent markers but you can get nice effects depending on angle, how close you are and shit like that. Hold the blowpen close to the page and blow extra hard. Then blow that around on the page for insane drips that go all sorts of psycho places. Trust me... it's the shit. I'd like to share a few things I've noticed... Use your darker color first and blend in with your lighter color. The lighter colors tend to have more alcohol or other thinning agents and despite what you remember from grade school, it won't fuck the markers up. Use those gray markers! They can do wonders for shading. You can also shade with a pencil and the marker will reflect that when you're done. For tight-ass highlights, paint pens are great but you can get thin, detailed lines with a colored pencil. I use Prisma pencils for that too but you don't have to throw fifty bucks on a full set. Any place that sells them (Michaels) will sell them individually. The white pencils will be opaque enough to get the effect over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E_B_A Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 There's like three blending tips on this page right here. Prismas blend just like any other markers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
movementsmagazine Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 dark color down first. then circle the light color into it and it'll blend and mix since the inks are still wet. if that doesn't work for you then you're doing it wrong. the colorless blender is the most difficult thing to figure out.

life WDS Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 yea blending markers r a waste of time for me, like everyone else said, the easiest way to do it, is to lay ur dark color down first, then right away do tight circles using ur lighter color over the dark color, then if u cant get it the way u want go back to ur dark and go over the light a little bit, jus keep experimentin and practice, ull get it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amkah Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Back to blackbook techniques... Anyone have problems with markers on a page that's been spraypainted? I did that and it killed every marker I used on it... hence the fading fill... Any advice on that shit? I'm thinking I'll spray paint the page after next time and just let the splatter fall where they want... i never knew you was this good EBA...damn you good !

derelekt Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Prisma blending markers always pissed me off. I think they are maybe only for blending and blurring a color into the blank white page; not for blending into other colors. ???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackbookKWC Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 another good thing to do is to either buy or rack decocolors (anyway you can get em). a opaque paint marker that when you learn to blend with them...ccome out with some ill color combos...just my 3 cents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbamlbballer Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 The prisma colorless blender marker is for blending with their colored pencils. Decocolors have the worst white, its like penis puddin. I heard pentel are the shizit. For blending like you guys say "lay down the dark color first" doesnt work well with waterbased markeres cuz the lighter color gets dirty from the dark color. (thats why it didnt work in grdade school, cuz they give the kids non-toxic "water" based not "alcohol" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheArchitect Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 The colorless blender marker is for blending with markers. There is a colorless blending pencil for use with colored pencils. Prisma markers are designed to work on paper, not over paint. Check the video in the link. http://www.prismacolor.com/sanford/consumer/prismacolor/mystudio/flashPopup.jhtml?flash=marker.swf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E_B_A Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 I should have pointed out that the darker color marker first trick only works like he said... with non-water-based markers. If you're using water-based like crayola or roseart and blend dark to light it will fuck up your markers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marko Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 yea i never learned how to blend prismas, usaully when i blend colors i use deco markers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
layhole Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 blending usually works best when the paint from the paint marker isnt dry yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
able_one Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 prismacolors are not made for dry paper, so a fade can be tricky. canson makes a paper for artist markers. its silky not dry, so a fade is pretty easy. it looks a little watery though. i usually use sharpie ultra fine point markers for the letter outline and in a detailed fill in. regular tiped shrapies for the outline. sharpie aslo makes a ultra fine point white/silver paint marker. sharpie only makes 29 or so colors, so not much of a selection. trial and error, and practice is really the only tip.

BillClinton Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 if you want good paper for prismacolors use watercolor paper, it sucks the color right in and is easier to blend, still not easy but its better.......my 2 cents... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NayS Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 i got a sakura gelly roll (white, fine nib) shipped over and i found it to write very badly, just wondering if anyone else has used these and thought the same, if not then this is a heads up to you..
