1st entry for July 20, 2013

On the Sunday, Meredith was working over at the Daniels Spectrum building. I had carved the wide nibs of the extra-broad Copic markers into a slightly curved profile, so I could vary the width of the marks more fluidly. It made for much more free handling for me, and most of the values here were done with  broad 10%, 30% and 50% markers, plus a bit of 40%, 60% and 90% added with thinner brush markers for dark values and elaboration of detail.
These are a 5-minute study up top and three 10-minute ones below, all done on 18 x 24" sheets of Canson Recycled Sketch paper.
