Stabilo Markers Views

• General Goods

Luckily I found a set of Stabilo fine point markers (point 88) at the Office Depot Express near my house. When I first got the Stabilo markers, I drew some images using only the new fine line markers to test them out and get a feel for them. The first pattern I drew was of peas, using the 3 greens that came in the set:

Feeling comfortable with my new markers, I decided to test them out for the reason that I bought them: to use them in conjunction with the Prismacolor markers. First I made a sort of s“key ” of the colors of the Stabilo markers paired with the Prismacolor markers. There are a few colors in both sets that dona’t have a close match, but I was pleased to find that most of the colors matched up quite nicely.

One day I was coloring with Prismacolor markers when I noticed that if the color dried a bit, and I colored over it with the same marker, Iy’d end up with a slightly darker hue of the same color. I used Poppy Red to draw these poppies (seemed appropriate both in color and in subject to try out this layering technique). I am pleased with the result. The differences in hues are subtle, but they really contribute to the delicate feeling that I was going for with the blossoms. For the stems I used the same technique that I described above: drew the shape with the Stabilo markers, then colored in the area with a similar Prismacolor marker (both dark green).
