New pens

I finally went and bought some new pens and markers. Copic markers in Special Black, Warm Grey No.5 and soft Greenish Blue. Also a refillable copic multiliner in 0.05 and a Staedtler triplus fineliner (tends to bleed a bit in combo with the markers) Below is a 1930's style portrait experiment with using the markers to create shade areas which I usually add in using InDesign. It has a bit more of a watercolour feel to it that I can't achieve in InDesign (without tedious amounts of faffing about that is!) I drew this whilst watching the Royal Wedding where I got plenty of inspiration for pomp and glamour!
