I’ve been trying to learn how to use graphic markers properly, and could do with some help/tips from people that have used them a little more than me - the two drawings above were quick(ish) sketches done with some cheapo no-name brand pens I bought ages ago, but there’s still plenty of areas I can see to improve - I’m open to any criticism you have.

(Also, very sorry for grainy pictures; small drawings and crappy potato cameras definitely don’t mix)

This is a very good start. They’re a little sloppy, but with some practice I’m sure you could tighten things up and make some sweet art.

I like the shading and light play on the car bodies.

Well, I recognise the cars so that’s a good sign!

Thanks! There’s definitely a few rough areas on the drawings, but hopefully they’ll get better once I try out a few more

Thanks! It’s pretty weird the way cars reflect light and certain colours when you look at them

Thanks! This makes me wonder how much harder it would be to do something like this using fabric pens....

Harder than just screen printing. Worse quality too.

Awesome! I have no advice to give as I don’t use those markers.

And feel free to use the sketch tag if you like. :)
