Drawing With Markers

Drawing with markers can be more challenging than drawing with graphite, because you can’t erase marker. But if you can get beyond that, markers offer many advantages over other types of media like graphite. This page will give you more insights about the pros and cons of drawing with markers, plus tips on how to do it, plus information about various marker brands.

There you have it: Our articles and pages on the topic of drawing. We hope you’ll find these instructions motivating and inspiring.
