Silvyee
This is a nice tutorial and I don't want to take away from that or anything but you might want to take out the suggestion of highlighting with white-out, as your original will look like garbage in five years. It's a trade-off, it's like people starting oil paintings with a first wash of acrylic because it dries so much faster, but you wouldn't want one of your signature pieces done this way. A lot of shortcuts are taken in commercial art which usually are on the side of speed, at the expense of life of the original.


Hmm.. well, thank you, I didn't actually know about the white out! *_* Does it yellow, or crack or something? I'll change the tutorial a bit, thanks. :3

Just a quick question-

Do prismacolor blenders work differently than Copic blenders?

I was discussing that with my freind Angel one time, and...
Well, moral of the stry, she told me to buy Copic blenders.
XD;;;

But I already have 2 Prismas...

Hmmmm.. I think they work about the same. :3 They've got basically the same stuff inside. Copics seem to blend a little easier and more thoroughly, in my experience, but Prismas should work just fine.

Besides, you could always start getting Copics from now on, all the brands of alcohol markers work well together. ^^ (I have a few Trias mixed in with my Copics, because Copic didn't have a few of the colors I wanted.)

I dunno about the prisma blender but I have Neopiko, some Prisma, and some Copic Sketch and I think Copic dries the slowest so it blends way smoother, Prisma dries the fastest and Neopiko is in between. The Neopiko blender works okay but only if you made a mistake and really quickly go over it with the blender so it lightens a lot. It gets super blotchy though, I definitely wouldn't use the blender on the actual piece.

I have to try a Copic blender and a prisma one... I heard that the Prisma one is for going over Prisma pencils and making them all blended.User Image
