Why alcohol markers?

Markers provide bright, cheerful, juicy ink flow. They blend almost like paint, yet much easier to use. You don’t need a glass with water, any solvents or special media to make it flow better or dry faster. You don’t need anything else, but your markers.

What is in the course?

In this course you will learn to create beautiful and cheerful illustrative style drawings that you can use for posters or post cards.

You will become familiar with the different types of markers, their specifications and characteristics.

You will learn five techniques how to seamlessly blend colours.

You will introduced to secrets about how to create special effects.

You will learn how to make a value illusion of the subjects, how to make your illustrations look realistic.

Zoom will be used to host live interactive classes. After the class you will get a private access to Zoom class recordings. The online study process will be simple, stress free and understandable for every student. There will be many exercises that will help you to become confident in the illustrative style.

Alcohol markers (COPIC or any of your choice)

The number of colours is up to you, my recommendation is to get at least two-three tones of the following colours:

  • yellow (light yellow, medium yellow, dark yellow)
  • orange (light orange, medium orange, dark orange)
  • red (light red, medium red, dark red)
  • pink (light pink, medium pink, dark pink)
  • green (light green, medium green, dark green)
  • blue (light blue, medium blue, dark blue)
  • brown (light brown, medium brown, dark brown)

And

three - six tones of Grey colour.

For example, in the Copic lines they named as Cool Grey 00, Cool Grey 01, Gool Grey 03, Cool Grey 05, Cool Grey 07 and Cool Grey 09.

As well, they have the same tonal gradation with Warm Grey.

You can get both sets.  Although for beginning it might be enough to get either Warm or Cool Grey set of markers. You can get 3-6 tones of Cool Grey or 3-6 tomes of Warm Grey.
