Hello Ashley/Matt,
I have the Prismacolor Premier Markers with 3 each warm gray, cool gray & French in the set. Would those be acceptable or should I invest int the Copic set you showed in the first lesson?
Thanks,
Lenet
Hi Lenet,
Absolutely! You can use any brand of alcohol-based markers that you wish!
Thanks. Was wondering if I would have enough tonal range, since Ashley’s choice has 5 values. But I think I can add enough value even if I have to do multiple layers.
Iām scared of that drawing now
