2. Step 2

   Color the bottle with an alcohol marker.

   

3. Step 3

   Choose a slightly darker matching colored pencil to work with your alcohol marker layer. It's very helpful to swatch your mediums.

   

4. Step 4

   Make short, vertical lines with your coordinating pencil - if there's room, do it at the top and bottom of the bottle.

   

5. Step 5

   Add white highlights with a colored pencil to the pencil details - choose which side and be consistent.

   

6. Step 6

   If you like sharper highlights, use a paint pen or gel pen to add the white details.

   

7. Step 7

   Finish your card. Add additional bottle highlights if desired.
