Posca Astaro

A little bust of Astaro I did while waiting for my apple pencil to charge.

I recently treated myself to some POSCA markers, for those who don't know they're basically paint in a pen. They're not really for paper, but I really like using them on paper anyway. I only got them yesterday and I dont have any thicker/decent paper. (I think all my unused sketch books are in the attic >__> I kept buying them but I stopped drawing on paper a looooong time ago so..not sure why I kept buying them) but that's why the paper is a little buckled in this photo.

But I've been wanting to do some limited colour palette stuff, I did try that digitally recently, but digital has no limitations. So I tend to overcomplicate it because I can. With these there's the only colours you have, and the fact that you cant just shade them the same way as digital.

Either way this is super..super fun and I feel my old passion for markers coming back. I wanna buy all the colours so I can do more, and larger pieces with these. So I hope you don't mind me posting some traditional pieces every now and then. Maybe those of you who have been around long enough to remember my old ooold marker pieces.. :>
