Mixed media, markers and pencils, take 1 (Page 3/3)

Liz Chesterman

Working with various markers and pencils can give interesting effects to your images. Here's just one example of working in this type of mixed media, page 3. (page 1) (page 2)

(The featured character Dinobot is copyright Mainframe Entertainment, Inc.)

The metal is pretty much done now. I might go back later and add some soft touch-ups with pencils later.

Finished with his bone areas here.

I've finally started on his skin. There's still a few layers left to go, tho'.

Looking prett nice, isn't he? Dinobot's just about done. I'll do some more touchups with markers on his skin and silver metal areas, but the next big part will be adding finishing touches with prisma pencils.

And here's the finished product. I waited for him to dry, then went in and added some final touches with pencils. His name was done with greys, white and silver pencils, and then I signed it at the top.
