2021.05.13 AST Late Night Again (Stage 2, final)
Pen and fugitive markers & posca paint marker on paper
4 x 4 inches
From life/observation and imagination
Somewhere around March 2020, there was a 'bonus box' of Tombow art supplies inbetween the monthly boxes. This box contained
an HB pencil,
a pigment pen
4 markers that were brush on one end and chisel on the other.
I enjoy using brush markers but these failed the light test in a week, so only use them in sketchpads and the like that will be kept closed and away from light - don't even hang on your wall for a month to look at them, some colors fade away completely. It's the same for the Tombow ones that are brush on one end and fine point on the other.
Anyway, here I used the pen and 4 markers, but not the pencil. The purple and blue are very similar in color and value so it almost seems like three colors. And then I 'cheated' on my conceit of only using what was in the box, and lightened a couple of areas with a white Posca paint marker.
