I recently bought some new marker pens. Now I’m busy rediscovering felt tip markers 🙂 This spider baby is my first example:

I drew the lines of this perfectly reasonable illustration with a Parker ballpoint and Micron technical pens. Color was added with Tombow markers.

I haven’t worked with art markers since the early 90’s. I almost always draw in a sketchbook and I use both sides of each page. Technical, drafting pens, pencil and cheap ballpoint pens are my usual tools because they don’t bleed through the paper.

I recently discovered these new (to me) dual tip markers by Tombow. They’re pretty nice and not too expensive compared to other art markers. Most importantly to me, they don’t bleed through.

I drew this color burst as a test. The paper was heavily saturated with layers of ink but the opposite side of the page remained pristine …totally impressed.

I run a tight pen and pencil drawer:

I’m not associated with or paid by Tombow for this endorsement. In fact, this isn’t a real endorsement; it’s just me going on about some pens I like. You might hate these pens. If you want to try them here’s an Amazon link for your convenience: http://a.co/2qcIgqL
