Don't they do all this digital these days, though?

Thanks guys.

Mokou,
Yeah, I know what you mean. I can happily smell them from here.

DeAap,
I work all digitally for work and traditionally when I'm out sketching and for the classes I instruct at Disney, Dreamworks and at other Institutions.

Jon,
It's a nice thing to have on hand and in your bag of tricks.

TonyX2,
Masters . . .well I think I have quite a ways to go but thank you for the kind comment. You should do it if you're into it. It's quite easy to start a blog as well as a YouTube page and such.

Best,

MAC

Rhemrev,

Thank you for the nice comment . . . I have none other than Marcelo Vignali to thank for the use and idea of the "Pentel - Color Brush Pen" that the second ink pen is. It's a great way to get some variety.

Best,

MAC

Awesome, I've been playing with markers a lot lately and its a bit intimidating. This is helping me clear it up a bit more. So you mostly shade with grays than laying a darker color on top? I've just been adding a darker version of red to the lighter red and then finishing it off with pencil crayons cause I chicken out. I want to ditch work now and run home and use my markers! Thanks for this!

Sid,

I actually build up the color as well and just add subtle hints of grey where I feel I need to tone down the color and add a cooler area where I have already gone too far with the color as you shouldn't need it but . . . it's best to have a great many tools in the bag I suppose.

Best,
