My Experience with Prismacolor Markers in Fashion Illustration

11/11/2015

As a fashion designer, I need to be able to communicate my ideas visually. Hence, fashion illustration is a great part of my skill set; something I have been focusing on daily. I challenge myself to design a dress every day and to use a variety of illustration media to advance my skills. 

Lately, I have been using the Prismacolor Premier Double-Ended Markers. They are a very popular brand. I have a set of 50 markers which allows me to experiment with many different colors. Each marker has a thin hard tip and a thick softer tip. The double ends allow for a multitude of finishes.

Below you can see four examples of my work. It is clear that each tip of the marker gives me an opportunity to express my ideas in a different manner. For instance, the thin tip is great for details, while the thick tip adds volume and movement to the sketch. Furthermore, I enjoy layering the colors to get new shades and hues. The possibilities are endless!

Do you use markers for drawing? If so, what is your experience? Any lessons learned? Let me know!
