A new process video - illustrating a woodpecker!

Hello art followers new and dear.

I would like to share with you if you have not seen it through social media, a video I put together showing some of my drawing process.

See this content in the original post

I will be posting much more small art videos to my TikTok, but if you are not a social media user, I will continue to post my favorites here to my blog.

For this illustration, I began the layout with my Tombow markers. I have had this collection of markers for close to a decade and keep adding color by color, so now many of the colors are a bit dry. I supplemented the colors with Arteza brush markers.

To add depth at the end I went in with Micron black ink pens. I also used a Sakura gelly roll souffle pen in white to pull highlights! At some point in the process I also used a regular old HB pencil to make sure I had the shape exactly as I wanted.

Thank you for joining me in a discussion of my process!
