RE: Steemy Snowflake ~ (WIP)
Hi @therealpaul, I've tried all sorts of things using pen and watercolor, I like this method the best. I did a light pencil drawing and then inked it in and I may add more ink once I finish laying on the paint. This is my favorite method when working with pen and watercolor. I have to use the Rapido Sketch pen when working over watercolor, especially when combined with gouache. My Micron pen tips get clogged up with paint particles really fast and I end up ruining new pens!
That might explain why I had trouble with pens, I used to have fits trying to get ink to flow when I first began using real drawing pens.
Yeah, I looked the problem up on the net, the micron pens can't handle paint particles. It makes me feel so sad when I have to throw one away :-(
I'm the same way-- I have a couple of old microns that I try not to use because they are so cherished, and I'm also afraid they would go dry halfway through a drawing!
