![]() ![]() Why not use one of our coats to sharpen the edge? If we know the outer edge of our heart will receive a few coats of ink to get it dark enough. Remember when I said coloring was all about intelligent ink placement? Personally, I've got a better chance of winning the lottery than I have of forming nice neat clean outlines on my images with just flicking. No matter how good you are, no matter how much talent you have, even the best professionals rarely flick from a consistent starting point. That’s a lot of expensive ink you’re wasting! You don't need 3 layers of ink from the first color!Īnd I’m scared of what your layer-count will be after all the blending and re-blending. Pssstttt… the Ebenezer Scrooge in me would also like to point out that you are wasting ink with all this doubling-back. When I add the next color, further swirling or zigging will continue to multiply the unevenness. This is only ONE application of R27 but in some areas, the ink is several layers thick.Įven though my coloring is tidy, it has a blotchy appearance due to the uneven coverage. The left lobe of this half-colored heart was zig zagged. Markers always give an immediate gush of ink at the beginning (plus we tend to stall at the touchdown site a few milliseconds longer before we move the marker across the paper).Įvery time a stroke overlaps itself, we get a double layer of ink. ![]() Remember, extra ink makes a stubborn spot which causes blending problems when you add the next color.Ī "touch down” is where I started the stroke. Most people circle back over their previous circles! I've circled the areas in each stroke above where the repetitive motion lays down extra ink.Īnd this is just the overlap in one row of swirls.
