Trying to blackline a different way.

So, the big thing about the Comic Book book type I still find terrifying is the black lining, I make mention of this in my Marvel Crisis Protocol project (that I need to return to, thankyou Ben for the reminder). The thing I found hard was trying to get the lines thin enough (for my eye) and so I had this idea a few weeks ago of.. Hmm I wonder if I could use a thin sharpy, I wonder if it would work?

Now truth be told Im not entirely happy, I need to do a lot of tidy up and I found some gaps were actually still too thin that the lack of flexibility in the sharpy meant they couldnt get in between where it needed to be, however theres more I have to report, honestly, the extra fine sharpies do NOT go over the acrylic paints as smoothly as I expected them to, honestly my advice would be NOT to do them this way its much harder than I thought it would be and I am just going to return to a small brush for the rest of them.
So we’re still moving along, progress this week however was much slower than I wanted it to be, I had a busy week.

I’m glad I tried this though because I learned something, firstly I get into my own head too easilly, rather than just doing things and trying things I put them off out of worry it wont work.  This didnt but hey you know what, its easilly corrected where I need to fix the lines and its not even that hard to fix them with this bold colour style.
