Alfresco Art Club: Aug 30, 2020: Mangaka Fan Art

Today’s art club challenge was to do something with simple tools. For me that meant to do something with pencil and paper, Tombo markers, and some fiddling with Clip Studio Paint. Watercolor markers dry more quickly than I realized — I found it impossible to create a smooth gradient that matched the delicate screentones in the original artwork. Once the marker ink dried, wetting it and trying to blend it only damaged the surface of theBristol paper. In the end I decided to add some digital screentones with Clip Studio Paint.
