It's been a few crazy weeks since I started playing with my new Tombow markers. I went and bought a couple more colors and finally got to play with the colorless blender. Didn't really love it. Instead, I picked up a Niji Water Pen. Now that, I love!! It's a nice portable way to watercolor without the mess and with A LOT more control. I love that the brush is nice a tight, it's great for what I do which is really just glorified coloring.
I also picked up brand new fine and super fine black Sharpies so that I could put in the kind of detail that I like to do when I draw my mandalas. My old ones were just not alive enough to put down enough ink on the watercolor paper (guessing they were kind of old...)

Great detail finally!!

Almost done!

| Finished! |
Also added a bit of detail to a few of my existing paintings, since these Sharpies actually work! Also played with using a white gel pen for detail on the darker areas; it gets sucked up by this paper, so the result is very subtle. I think it's kind of cool!
Time has been flying and I haven't had time to break out the acrylics lately, but being able to be portable with the markers and water pen has allowed me to keep creating art despite not having much time. I'll just leave you with a couple more that I finished. Hopefully next time I'll have a new acrylic and something more interesting to share! What kind of art are you making this week?
