Hihi! ^-^ I'm glad to hear that you're interested in traditional art! I personally use a variety of materials depending on the type of artwork I'm creating I mostly work with color pencils, but I started getting into markers recently!
For pencil art I've been using the Faber Castell Supersoft pencils, and for markers, I use alcohol-based markers like Copic Sketch or Kurecolor And the latest tradi drawings you see on my TH were drawn with POSCA paint markers
I don't tend to use pens for line wotk often because my pulse is really bad ;sob; so I line with color pencils most of the time
I prefer to use textured Mixed-Media paper 200gms (or higher) it has a slight fine grain texture that I personally really like, which is also common to find on watercolor paper I usually color in layers, starting with the lighter colors and building up to the darker ones As for shading, it depends on the piece, sometimes I will leave areas open for shading, and other times I will do the shading afterwards It really just depends on what works best for the piece and the effect I'm trying to achieve
Overall, when it comes to traditional art, experimentation is key Don't be afraid to try different techniques and materials until you find what works best for you :D
Thank you for replying!
And I see, I have watercolor paper at home and was going to try watercolor pens soon, but I really liked the last few drawings you posted since the texture of the markers looked nice so I might try to look into those :0
and I see!! Thank you for the tips ill try to keep that in mind :D
Its just really impressive to me how you are able to work so detailed even on paper.
And yeah I feel the pulse problem, was a reason i always feared traditional art since im afraid my lines just get messy beyond belief xD
