New shirt-painting techniques

Previously on Tashari's Sketchblog:

So I wasn't going to try this technique on skintones again, but I found a better option, and it works on the gray shirts (which I like better).

This time I used paint markers instead of dye markers. I learned about a new brand, Molotow, and they have a much wider range of colors. Nothing specifically a good skin tone, but some close enough to work. I just used white on the highlights and let the skin tone bleed in a bit, and then added a little extra brown for the shadows. When I put it up on Etsy, I'll charge extra for this added coloring since it take longer and is a little more difficult. I need to test the launderability as well. I also need to make one of these for myself.. But I have so many other projects lined up.

Up next? Order Charbonnel's new watersoluble etching ink, and get back into etching! Do some preliminary sketches for a new painting series focused around my stuffed dragons. And start the mockups for my steampunk dress. Expect more WIPs than sketches in the upcoming months.
