Markers and Art

I’m in one of those phases right now where I’m experimenting with art supplies—specifically art markers. I think the main reason for this is that I’ve been asking myself some questions about how I can improve my roster of art techniques. Below is my newest pulp copy, made with Tombow markers and colored pencils. I describe it in more detail in the audio. (All of my copies are Copyright, Sara Light-Waller, 2024. All Rights Reserved.)
