TAPSit Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 a set of grey markers will put you in good stead to add some serious shade over existing colours. sharpie light blue, with cool greys layered over the top. not the best example, but it'l do. I'm dig'n this shit knowme...do you use the prisma greys?..and what seems to be the best shade to use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG HECZ Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 k so back to tips.... yea, when using prismas, copics, trias etc. its best to take your time coloring (dont cover broad areas too quickly, let the ink soak) and use the same stroke till your done with the section youre filling. It helps leave no streaks (which is one of the reasons people buy these expensive markers). "look mom! no streaks!" when giving someone advice make sure you're better than them, not worse or just as good. They won't listen otherwise, you too my friend need to work on your simples.. your bubble letters are kind of ummm.... not good. yeh. when using ballpoint pens make sure to rub your finger over the ink to make it look nice and blurry. huh?

INSOM Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 is the ballpoint pen thing for me...or just a tip for everybody? the writing you see in the letters is from the other side of the paper...all of that is just fucking around.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rend Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 should you sketch with pencil, outline with ball point pen, then fill? or should you sketch with pencil, fill, then outline? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B4youGrabbedAmarker Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 Place another sheet of paper under the one youre using when the pen has ink that soaks through the paper. Some people dont like random blotches of colors on perfectly good blackbook paper. Amen to that shit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
segwaynwp Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 you can do some funky shit with regular ballpoint pens and prismacolor colorless blender markers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E_B_A Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 Nah... for real, I do have a toy question... What the fuck kind of markers does Totem use to do shit like this: Before you get all wise-ass, notice it's drawn OVER some sort of karate instruction manual and yet the colors are smoothly blended and VERY precise. I have yet to find any markers opaque enough to do that and still blend over something printed like this. Anyone know? Cuz I'll buy them shits with the quickness.

freakeenyc Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 who'se amir btw...in that totem page.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E_B_A Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 I think Amir and Totem are the same person... I know paint pens go over shit good. I use paint pens. What kind of paint pens get that smooth kind of blending? And you can see the print under it just barely showing through... I don't think it's regular paint pens like you'd pick up at Michael's or some shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vare_one Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 amir is a man from graphotism who interviewed totem 2 in the issue 29 theres quite a few bits in there from him over stuff like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knowme Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 i'm going to take a guess and say that the big 3D totem piece and charo were done on a separate page with traditional marker then cut out with an exacto, and then everything else was done with markers/white paint pen straight onto the page. that's how i would have done it if i wasn't working digitally.

scribbler Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 What brand paint pens go over shit the best? Edding paint markers suck except for the gold and silver. They go over EVERYTHING! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HandPickedGod Posted May 1, 2006 Author Share Posted May 1, 2006 Anyone have a clue what kind of pens give you DARK lines, and are precise? I know the pigma microns, but they're lines aren't the darkest out there. Buah! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knowme Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 knowme: I thought that too but look REALLY careful at the image... you can see the lines of print through it... probably just thin (<80gsm) paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the pigma microns, but they're lines aren't the darkest out there. Buah![/quote'] i use copic multiliners, they have almost no bleed (fucked if i know how) so you can crack some really sharp linework. i'm fairly sure i did this with them: looks darker IRL, flash burn wrecks sketches when i flick them. NB: fill on the 3D would have been bone stock black marker of some sort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ess7dee Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 I learned to blend pretty much on my own (someone breifly told me to just push the colors together). That was two yrs ago. My only real advice would be to use mico pigment markers for outline (they dont bleed and act as a wall when the marker ink bleeds) and practice practice practice. if u ever need help finding color combos look at nature ( Fish, trees, all sorts of animals) thats it from me:o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
