Looking back on the art I’ve been making for the past few months I’ve done quite a bit of digital work. I started really delving into Procreate when we went on Vacation earlier this year, and I haven’t stopped exploring the possibilities since. While planning for our vacation in late February and early March of his year I opted to take only my camera and iPad. No knitting, no sketch book, no art supplies. This was the first time I’d ever taken only my iPad, with the intent of creating art while on a vacation. I had a plan to limit my supplies and challenge myself to only using procreate. My plan worked, I learned a lot about procreate and I enjoyed to process. The biggest thing I learned was how very freeing being able to sit on the couch or the porch at night with just an iPad and a pencil was. There was no figuring out where to put supplies, or how to juggle a sketchbook on my lap, or being confined to the table. The other bonus ...
I was late to the alcohol marker coloring craze, but am so glad I jumped on board. There really is no better color blending option in my opinion. This card was completed with Copics, but my world has really opened up learning that you can really blend any alcohol markers with each other, no need to be brand loyal.
In my experience, the key to getting great results with alcohol markers isn't in the brand of markers. The key components for great blends are the paper and ink used for stamping. I've had the best results with Gina K. Amalgama ink and Neenah Solar cardstock.
