Daily Picture: 14



More experimenting with Copic Markers. 

I did this on a tiny piece of watercolour paper (6cm x 6cm). I messed up the shadowing on the neck.


Apparently it is not recommended to use watercolour paper because it soaks up too much ink making the markers run out quicker. The results are a lot nicer than the other card and paper I have been using.



I managed to find a website that sells card stock that seems to be a favourite among copic marker users (on this side of the Atlantic). I should have it late next week, so we might see some sort of improvement. 

All the card or paper that is recommended on the internet seems to be only available in the US. And the stores that I can find online either don't ship outside the US or charge ridiculous money for postage. Even ordering from the UK, I have to debate with myself if it will be worth it.
If there are art shops in Ireland (or other shops in the UK) that do supply the paper recommended for copic markers, they need to sort themselves out and be more visible on the internet! 


I'm missing days (again) due to working on props for a school play.
