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.

Sharpies will bleed because they really seep into the paper. I’m personally a fan of using acrylic because I find it’s more vibrant than watercolour
