I’ve been enjoying sketching with the neocolours over a base layer or ink or paint, so today I threw a bunch into my bag of crayola mini markers that I normally save for visiting my friends and family with kids1. Markers + neocolour iis in the very cheap, light, portable sketch books you can get at Muji turns out to be very fun!
I included a shot of my swatches; one of the things I find challenging about the kids markers is that they almost never include any truly light or pale colours. One of the things I’ve learned about the neocolour iis is that they really look their best when layered over a midtone. Together, these problems become a feature!
These are certainly not the world’s best cars; this is a sketchbook page done for fun while onthe phone. But maybe you, seeing this, are thinking about some supplies you have that might work really well together? And if so you should go try that and let me know what you learn!
- Kids will always want to draw if I’m drawing, it’s usually worth it to bring them some friendly supplies I won’t be stressed about sharing. ↩︎
