Sketching with Marker

This sketch was meant as a practice sketch for a painting that I have been meaning to do for some time. I took out my Tombow markers for it, which I don’t use too often. They are fun to work with as they have both a brush and fine line tip and I have about eighty colors in my set. They fade badly in light, however. For this reason they are only really good to me as something to use in my sketchbook. Or perhaps, I might use them if I made a picture with the intent of getting the image printed onto something else. In that case, I would treat my scan as the original.
