I have to do a project for my Advance placement art class, we choose what we have to do and I am going to design a creature, any creature, I haven't thought about one yet. I am making a marker rendering and then going to make a maquette with super sculpty.
For the questions:
What are some marker rendering techniques, I haven't used them much, and wanted to know the basics as to shading, blending and how to get a nice clean final copy. I am experimenting with them but need some velum to see the actual result, not bleeding everywhere.
I'm good with the super sculpty though.

Thanks.
