Feathered Friend

This month I have been playing with Aquamarkers. They are so easy to use, so easy to blend. This did not begin as a specific project I was really just having a play. 

I began with a quick sketch. 

I then added more details and outlined everything in Pebble Grey.

Then I just started to fill in sections.

...more filling in, with a little shading..

and then experimenting with layers and combinations. 

Some areas were layered while they were wet and other were left to dry before a second layer was added. 

Finally shadows were added and small details added with a fineliner. 

I used 140lbs watercolour paper which I would recommend. These pens are super juicy and they need to be used on a fairly heavy paper. Why don't you pull those Aquamarkers out and have a play. Be fearless and just go for it.
