I'm currently culling through what seems to be endless files searching for additions to do an updated portfolio (I'll be back on the job market soon!), when I came across this old freelance job I had done ages ago. It was being developed from a children's book called MOON DOG, if I'm remembering correctly. I was particularly pleased with the fact I was able to do this giant marker comp in one take (I think it was the scale of this thing that was so daunting)--I remembered being terrified I'd make a stupid mistake three quarters through. Markers are a lot less forgiving than photoshop and the convenience of a "command z"!

MARKERS. SIGH.

Perfection!
You're a marker genius. How do you blend them so well? Do you use rubbing alcohol?
It amazes me how people can use markers like this!
I'm a'just gonna stick with my photoshop...
Glorious! You are tops with those markers. Good luck on the job hunt!
you got nerves of steel, andy - it's a beaut!
much impressed with the blending(so subtle)and texture, makes it look like you've actually used wash and gouache.
Thanks all! Good question, Kristen. I actually used alcohol based markers (copics); as well as their corresponding refill viles and in the case of the bg, applied with paper towel.
RAD.
I now know all your marker secrets and I will use them against you. muhuhuhahaha! (evil villain laugh)
just kidding.
Came out looking great!
The texture and colors are amazing. I don't know anyone who does what you can do with markers. Screw command-z...
