So I began my course on drawing the roofs of different cities in the world. The course is constructed in such a way that simultaneously lessons are given in three directions and on the same topic. I decided that I will sum up the method of comparing different techniques within a single topic. I will paint with watercolor, pastel and markers.
The first part is under the link:

I drew scenes from pastel and watercolor with markers (markers are much easier for me to draw, as it turned out). And I have a couple of points that I want to share.

First, the time. Watercolors paint shingles much easier and faster. And in the markers it is more precise. And it is the watercolor of the shingles I like more, and the accuracy in the markers here is superfluous. But I still do not understand how to paint the roof carelessly and beautifully in the markers)) What am I leading to? For a certain story, you need to choose a specific material that will win by speed and idea ...

Secondly, convenience. I was tortured with pastel, the material is strewed, rubbed from accidental touch and erased from a clumsy attempt to fix something. The hands dirty all the things around the color spots ... In general, the markers win here.) Yes, the mood of the sketches is slightly different (like the light), but the markers on the white background were boring and sad, so they went into the sunset))) And then even the time the marker sketch in the plus (I'll tell you a secret, I was building a pastel sketch with a coal pencil, and the marker was drawn with a contour ...)

Summarize. Sketch with markers and watercolor was easier for me than for pastel. And by the time markers are not always in the black, but to carry them with you is much more convenient! Now I'm drawing on the street, so I'm pulling out everything I need ... so almost in the open air, I'm just drawing from the phone on the reference rates)))
