1、HYPERLINK /sharer.phpShareOkay, heres another sketch tutorial for you. Weve received a couple requests for more marker demos with traditional media, so I broke it down for you in a few steps.People always ask whats the key to laying down some good marker or pencil I think the answer is really simple

2、. Relax, and have fun and PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE! Never underestimate the value of always sketching. Its like practicing a foreign language by speaking it often. Okay, enough of my rant about practice.I tried to pick something fairly simple to work on. I know, its just a suitcase, but I chose th

3、is to show how a simple object can seem more exciting with some good perspective, some good linework, and some good marker application.First off, I started out with a rough underlay of my suitcase, setting up the basic design and perspective of the scene. Ive also outlined the shadow and some detail

4、s in the object that will help guide my over-sketch.By the way, Im using crappy tracing paper to do my underlay and a little nicer paper for my overlay. This way, I can be relaxed when sketching my undersketch and not have to worry about how expensive the paper is. Remember to relax and have fun.Nex

5、t, I took some nicer Bienfang 260 Marker paper (Any marker paper or a smoother bond paper will do.) and worked on my overlay. Be sure if you do this with pencil to use sharp ones or have a bunch of sharp ones handy. A good electric sharpener helps as well.Okay, time to pull out the markers. Ill talk

6、 about marker selection a little bit more in a future post, but for now, what you need is 3 markers in three distinct tones a highlight or light marker, one for the midtone, and the other for the shadows or dark tones. In this case, I am using three prismacolor markers in the brown family. If youre

7、not sure if theres the right amount of contrast between your markers, then try squinting you eyes when looking at all three applied on a piece of paper. if they are too close in tone, then shift to another marker and keep trying.I like to outline the areas I am shading before I actually commit to co

8、mpletely shading the entire sketch. Remember, its important to have a good quality sketch before you apply marker to it. I see too many times where people are hasty to apply marker to a sketch, only to be frustrated with the final result. Sometimes the problem lies in the foundation, not the paint o

9、n the building .Always try to identify your light source and use it as a guide when you are applying the marker. In this instance, I am assuming that my light source is at the top left of the sketch, causing my shadow to fall to the right of the sketch.Because my light source is on the left, the dar

10、ker surfaces will be to the right and the lighter surfaces to the top and left of my sketch.If youre not sure about how to apply marker, be sure to check out one of our HYPERLINK /2009/03/06/toolbox-basic-marker-cube/earlier tutorials on marker application, HYPERLINK /2009/01/07/sketching-a-box/pers

11、pective or any of our video sketch demos for tips on HYPERLINK /2009/01/12/video-tutorial-digital-sketch-of-earbuds/lineweight and quality.Ive applied my marker in one tone. I cheated I applied my midtone first. Typically however, you will want to apply your lightest tone first. Why you ask? If you

12、make a mistake with the lightest tone of your marker set, youll be able to more easily correct any mistakes you make that much easier. Fortunately, I didnt make tooooo many mistakes, so I am good to go.Again, relax, have fun and be confident with your strokes. Itll all work out in the end. Right?My

13、next steps include adding some highs and lows to my sketch. I added some darker tone to my right side of my luggage sketch. Remember that the right side or far side is the one thats pointing away from the light and will be the darkest toned.As always, be careful, yet quick when applying your marker

14、so that the sketch feels fresh and lively and not dead and deliberated.Applying pencil to areas of the already markered in spots can also help bring out detail and add some more interest to things you want to being out in your sketch. In this case, Im bringing out the stitches, piping and zipper det

15、ails of the luggage bag by adding contrast with the pencil.One more thing, dont be afraid to lightly use your pencil to help push those values in your sketch. A few hatch marks in your dark areas can help punch contrast and help things pop even more in your sketch.Adding detail and contrast to zippe

16、rs and other elements will go a long way in making that sketch pop. Contrast is king.Be sure to add a background for even more pop. because my bag is brown, I have chosen a somewhat complementary color blue to fill my simple background. Dont go tooooooo crazy with the background either. Backgrounds should complement rather than conflict with the object in the
