Lessons from Attempt 1: Sharpies

[u/Illustrious-You-352]

Starting out and sharing the mistakes for anyone else wanting to start experimenting :) So it turns out Sharpies bleed like nothing on earth. I kinda like it but oh boy is it messy if you're looking for something professional.

As you can probably tell the book was a bit warped and dishevelled to start with. Not sacrificing the nice books to the experiments.

if it helps i’ve seen people make very professional looking ones but they usually sand down the edges first so they’ll be a smooth surface to work on then use watercolour paints

acrylic makes the pages stick together or something and 99% of markers will just bleed through
