Drawing Resource #19?
Hello everyone,
Did you think blenders only worked for colored pencils? Fortunately, there are blenders for markers, too! This post will talk about blender markers (they're colorless!).
Normally, when you are working with colored pencil blenders, you can take its wax, and blend any color together to get the ideal color effect(s). However, for markers, you have to plan it a bit before jumping in. For instance, it may be easier to blend two shades of the same color compared to blending two different colors. If you want to blend a light red, and then a darker red together, then you take your light red first, then overlap the light red with the darker red (but not not cover it entirely, especially if you're experimenting!). After you have placed the appropriate amount of color down, take your blender marker, and go in the direction you wish. If you want a transition of color from light to dark (or vice versa), then take the started shade, and move towards the opposite shade to show the blending transition. Be careful not to wait too long, since markers can quickly dry (so you will want blend as soon as possible!).
Experiment with how to use your blender marker. If the trick mentioned above doesn't work for you, try using your blender marker on the paper first, then add the colors on top of it to blend them together (followed by using the blender marker to smooth out any sections that might be dry, or may not have evenly blended). If you have any questions, comments, etc., please feel free to leave a comment below, or e-mail me. I hope this post was helpful! Thank you! Enjoy!
