okay guys, I'm going to be getting a table at some conventions soon, and plan to do sketches, but want to practice with my markers so that I'm up to snuff. Any one have any tips for using Prisma Markers?

Not a fan of prismas. I use microns, sharpies and a laudry marker. The stink keeps the riff raff away. xp

Tips? Experiment as much as you can before you get your booth, so you know what you can and cannot do before you get yourself in a pinch. Use heavy paper 100lb or more to avoid bleedthrough.

I like to use comic backing board. Holds ink well. Good size. Nice and cheap to get.

That should do the trick. I usually use bristol or watercolor paper.

I use Backing boards already for sketches. I've been a good boy and experimenting alot, and so far the best thign that works for me is to throw down my base coat as the lightest color I have and get darker as I do more shades, and highlights. Thansk for the Input, and if you want throw me a Sketch request so i can practice.

Don't use expensive paper. Unless you're charging for your sketches, you'll never make the cost up. No Bristol, no Arches, no watercolor paper. The watercolor has a downside of unever surface, which, unless you know what you're doing, can make things look sloppy.
Backing boards are good. Office Max also sells these big reems of cardstock xerox paper, which is good stuff. I have a stack of Wausau brand cardstock called "exact bristol." 250 sheets, cost me $12. I don't use prisma on them, but if they can stand up to some indea ink they should be ok. Don't worry about bleedthrough. The big thing is finding a paper the markers won't spread on.
