For the Ways to use it challenge, we were asked to use a technique with our markers. I used the Copic texture technique to add some texture to the leaves in the trees. By using the blender pen, you can lift color and make areas look lighter, then I went in with two darker shades of green to and shadows. the effect is leaves of different colors and shading combined. The other technique I used is laying the marker at about a 45 degree angle right on the outer part of the image and "flicking" the marker towards the center. It is especially evident in the sky, but I also used this technique on the edged of the grass.
I followed the sketch from Wednesday, except I moved the sentiment up just a bit. The colors look so off, but it is very late, so for tonight ...it is what it is! Thanks so much for taking a peek!
