Al Fresco Art Club, Jan 3, 2021 -- Pen and Marker Day

Self-portrait with Marvy Mrkers

Self-portrait with Marvy Mrkers

The Al Fresco Art Club director was back in form today and our days of slacking off and doing whatever were a thing of the past. Today we all had to follow the instructions and use ink and markers to create our one-hour masterpieces. Since I was feeling uninspired, I drew a self-portrait, which, to my surprise, actually resembles me. My selection of Le Plume markers had a few useful muted colors, but skin tones were lacking so I left my face paper color. The black shirt was painted with a Copic marker.

Supplies :

  • Marvy Uchida Le Plume permanent markers (set of 24), alcohol-based markers (24)

  • Copic Marker, black

  • Rotring Tikky 0.1mm liner. The Tikky’s are my favorite liners. The price for these is absurdly marked up Amazon by whacked out resellers, so get them from Jetpens.com for about $3.60 each.

  • HB pencil

  • Marker paper
