Description

A red eye tree frog.

I show this 3 markers challenge at youtube and, I thought it would be fun to try it myself, but digitally.

The process of this challenge is to draw something from a pick up of 3 random color markers with closed eyes. I choose the 3 markers from an old Carioca Felt Tip Markers set and, I decided to draw something from the animal kingdom limited to those colors. I wanted my image to be of a realistic kind approach and, the animal kingdom is full of extreme colors and, that’s helpful.

When the colors were selected it just felt right with these colors to draw a red eye tree frog and, keep some of the realism that I wanted to retain.

I made this challenge digitally with the program Made With Mischief. I reproduce the 3 picked colors digitally as precisely as I could. I tried to work this piece digital emulating the natural media process. I worked the frog sketch line, colors, black ink marker, all in one layer with Mischief’s default brush that has some transparency and builds up like a marker. The effect of the white thick ink, I worked on a separate layer. I worked the background colors on a separate layer too.

Unfortunately Mischief at present doesn’t support blending layers options and to achieve the marker’s darkest blending effect I finished the piece with Krita, a free drawing program with a duplicate layer of the image in multiply blend mode.
