Any artists out there?

@KiwiAndPeachThePigeons123 what paper do you use with your markers? I have alcohol markers I barely touch cause I don't know how to use them I have done some experimenting with using them on different papers.

In my experience any kind of thicker paper works, but I use watercolor paper. I have marker paper, which is really thick and smooth but I like using other medias over alcohol markers like color pencils, and the marked paper doesn’t take the pigment that well. So I’d say as long as it’s a thick, good quality paper it’s good. You also don’t want a super absorbent type of paper because the markers blend while wet and if the pigment is absorbed the markers won’t blend well. Hope this helps!

Squigs! Hopefully yours comes back nice haha

Thank you haha, and yes, I chose it because of the Squig XD
I submitted a gnoll, but pretty sure everyone else did a W40k model

Thank you! I can't take any credit for the construction of the model but I can for the painting

Thanks! I seem to remember Watercolour paper was one of my preferred ones. I have marker paper too but didn't like using it much. I think the last one I tried was mixed media paper, which is thick!
