Markers can be used like watercolors by applying them wet but they dry instantly. They allow for realistic colors without mixing and are compatible with other media. Markers can be used on many types of paper including carton, tracing paper, and butter paper. To create gradual value changes, apply lighter markers vertically over darker ones while still wet. Gray markers can also be layered up to three times to create shades from dark to light. Technical tips include outlining drawings in black if the original ink bleeds, using thinner pens for smaller drawings, and applying two coats of color with waiting time in between to darken values.

2. Marker ,,, Wet or Dry ?
Marker, Unlike any other medium, is
applied wet but dries Almost Instantly

3. 1 ) Realistic Colors may be easily
achieved without mixing colors
or using brush.
2 ) Wide Colors Selection
3) Compatibility with other media such as colored pencil

4. Can we use Markers on any type
of paper ?
Carton
Tracing
Butter Paper

5. Creating a Gradual Value Change
Select 3 to 5 markers
from the same color
range with values from
light to dark
Apply the lightest color
vertically several times
to the entire area
While the lightest color
is still wet, use the next
darker color to cover
approximately ( Two
thirds ) of the area
Immediately
use the first
color and
apply it
vertically
several times
where the two
colors meet.
While the
second color
is still wet,
use the next
darker color
to cover the
remaining
One third of
the area

6. Immediately Use the Second
color to CLEAN THE LINE
BETWEEN THE TWO COLORS
Using a colorless
[ BLENDER ]
as the lighter color will give
the drawing a soft water color
appearance

11. For a very dark shade
you can flip the paper
and paint from the
other side
Note : When you Render with markers
on ( Ink Drawing ) if the ink is not
waterproof, the ink will bleed on the
marker color :

12. Technical Tips !
When Outlines of the original drawing are not
readily visible, its is necessary to outline the
entire drawing again with a black felt-tip pin
The lighter the value
and the smaller the
size of a drawing,
the thinner the pen
that should be used

13. Technical Tips !
Marker colors may be
mixed by applying one
color on top of another

14. Technical Tips !
To create strips apply the first
coat of marker and wait 2 to 3
minutes for it to dry then use
the same marker to draw over
the desired area.

16. Technical Tips !
Applying two coats of a
color, waiting between
coats, will make the next
darker value
4 4 5
44 5

17. Technical Tips !
Create a marker chart with spectrum selection and good range of
values for quick reference

18. Technical Tips !
Markers dry easily in a hot, dry
environment. They should be
kept in a cool place

19. Technical Tips !
If a marker does become dry, it
may be rejuvenated by adding
a few drops of lighter fluid
rubber cement thinner, or
Toluene. This will somewhat
reduce the intensity of color

20. Technical Tips !
Never throw away old markers.
Dry markers can often be used
to make lighter values and
special effects

21. Technical Tips !
Use index cards, masking tape,
or other appropriate material
as a frisket, or mask, for a
smooth straight-lined look

22. What is Frisket ?

23. Technical Tips !

24. Technical Tips !
Use a white colored pencil or
Pelican graphic white ink to
add highlights of
necessary

26. Technical Tips !
In order to achieve a shiny
appearance on flat surfaces, use
vertical strokes of the same color
of the object being reflected
