It has come to my attention that I draw alien figures! After doing the quick 8 sketches in different medium I noticed that my little men look a little odd! Large egg heads and legs way too short......must experiment!!!
As for the medium I've used I think I prefer using the pro markers, certainly for quick sketch work anyway. Nice bold lines that will be able to be seen from a distance and the one or two colour rendering will highlight hard and soft materials quickly.
As for the rest, well I think rollerballs work much better than fine liners as they flow better when you scribble. The dry pastels and charcoal are too messy for sketch work and really don't work when you are drawing small images.....I kinda thought that would be the case. The pure graphite works well as you can create tonal quality very easily. The water colour was actually watered down gouache, but does the same job. I think you can create some great effects with watercolour so long as you keep it simple.
Figure experimenting.....
...I think I'm getting there now, but must keep practicing. Just need to be more confident about the lines I am making and a few more sketches in different positions will go a long way I think. If anyone has any comments, please let me know.
