I managed to do these quite fast pieces last week. Tell me what you think.

Oh btw. I'm now unemployed, so if you got a tip of what i could do next, give it to me! =)

... and you call these doodles? Cool stuff.

What markers did you use and what did you use for white, acryl or...?

Whoaww you're a boss! Did you work with Doug chiang :-) ... i suppose that you worked with Copic and acrylic?

I used Copic markers and white paint for technical pens or airbrushes. It's called "Dr.Ph.Martins pen-white". Just simple and cheap white paint.

Are copic markers easy to find in sweden? Haven't found them from Helsinki.

What about Iceland

Have only found Pantone markers and they cost around 6.5 $ each.

Do you know of any online store that is willing to send markers overseas? The last online shop I tried didn't want to send them because they were flammable.

I don't know if they're easy to find sorry, but you could check here:

And it's not very important what kind of marker you're using. It really doesn't matter. But what's more important is the paper. I've tried a lot of different papers and i find regular A4 copy paper and "Letrasets" papers are the best.

The marker does bleed, but once you get used to it and learn how to control it, this is no problem.

Wow... to call these /doodles/... you really shouldn't have a problem finding new work.

I like them. I'm no expert on marker work nor have I really tried it out - so I don't have anything constructive to say. I just felt a need to point out that it's really nicely done =)

If there is one thing that I've learned from Shirow is the functionality of mechanisms and defining their exact purpose, when this is done, the more interesting the object becomes. Your mechanisms have a level of this, but the space vehicle doesn't seem to have much functionality. Needless to say, I like them

Freddio · Posted: Sat Jul 28, 2001 6:07 am

wow heaps cool..

just wondering... how do you get the smooth gradients?

henrik · Posted: Sun Jul 29, 2001 4:26 am

Ergh...bringing up an old post again...
Just adding this image:
And please give me some crits...pretty please? =)

The gradients are just different tones with markers. I primarily use Copic C3-C6.
(Cold grey).
