New Markers!!

It has been a long time since my last Prisma Color phase. Tonight I was gifted with some then immediately dug up my blender (conveniently an arms length away) to have some fun on an envelope that was lying around. Of course the first thing I thought after adding the ultramarine blue to my navy bird was “Apple Z!!!” or Tap the bottom left corner (iphone sketchbook ap).

One could argue that computers have made it easier for artists, I argue differently. The fact is… Most people can come up with more ideas when they sketch out an idea then refine it later on the computer. This process, which I am sure has been driven into every graphic designer since birth, is lost somewhere after graduating and starting our first job. The computer works as a barrier sometimes and It is not that often that designers have the time at work to complete the sketches - many employers expect them to go immediately to the computer and puke their ideas onto the screen.

I guess what I am trying to say is that I am excited to use my new markers and “doodle”. There is a very real aspect to the fact that every line counts - you cannot go back to change a mistake - it may actually make the drawing stronger.

Perhaps something I doodle with my new markers will find a home in one of my designs.
