Dom's Analog Art Blog

Muh pinned post + Muh swatches and notes

Hello! this is @dr4wmaterial's casual analog art blog. I don't think the quality of these is up to snuff with my digital stuff especially since analog is only fun rather than professional work for me. I like to experiment with mostly dry/marker medium and different paper types so I hope you learn something here too! And yes, my dslr I use to take pics has a lot of dust and shit 😔

My art materials and swatches below cut:

Cheap + Chinese Colored Pencil Brands

Brutfuner Fluorescent, Brutfuner Macaron, Brutfuner Square, Steadtler Supersoft

Prisma + Poly Colored Pencil Set

Prismacolors + Polychromos + Faber Castell Black Edition

Multicolor Colored Pencils

Brutfuner Multicolor 12, 26

I'll swatch it later.....

Watercolor Brush Markers by Set

Zig Kuretake Clean Color Real Brush (warm, cool, light skin, dark skin) (mouthful), Yu Xue Tong Dual Tip Marker 36 (possibly a white label brand), Tombow Dual Tip (portrait), Hightune 100 Dual Tip Markers (definitely white label), Sakura Koi 48 (this one has a lot of missing and incomplete colors)

Watercolor Brush Markers by Colors

Made this swatch sheet based on my new way of organizing these markers. I prioritized portrait colors and then sorted by tone and value. ALSO I made custom sticker swatch + number label using the price sticker, super affordable in philippines. also also super recommend sorting them out like this...

Languo Direct Liquid Acrylic Markers

My first acrylic marker set, I bought the small 9 packs and tried completing them all. Atm I'm thinking I outgrew the color scheme... I might get a guangna 168 some time instead.

Will post a pic of the set some time

Miracle Works Dual Tip Markers

Meant this one as a gift but it didn't arrived and I refunded it but it arrived anyway. I actually prefer the color selection compared to languo, because I just like subtler less blunt colors in my art... Incidentally I gifted the guangna 120s instead.

Guangna Skin Color Markers

Languo Gel Pen + Moka Gel Pens + Metallic Acrylic Marker

Sharpeners

Deli 0642D - Bought for weird brutfuner square size, pretty good for a lot of colored pencils and jumbo sized pencils. T'gaal - has 5 settings for the angle of sharpness

I don't want 2 talk abt it corner...

Various Tempera Paint sticks, Silky Crayons

Sketchbooks

I ring bind them myself because I tend to use a lot of different types of paper.

Main Papers:

Worx Vellum Board Smooth White/Cream 200 gsm - Acrylic marker stuff, too glidey for colored pencil

Deli Sketch Paper - Colored pencils

Glossy Photo paper - Acrylic Marker, has an interesting effect, squeaky with dryer markers

Etchr Hot Pressed Watercolor Paper - expensive old thing I havent used for years. Feels nice but overpriced.

Binding stuff:

Ring binder

Kw-Trio 6 hole A5 puncher, I manually cut the holes open with scissors

super duper cheap paper cutter

Wishlist

Zig Real Brush 30 Colors Set A

Miracle Works/Guangna 168

Koh-I-Noor Magic Pencil 5pcs

Thoughts on portable scanner...

I have like 1 more acrylic art, and 1 colored pencil art I made but my camera broke... It was already a decade old when I used it again. Also I realized I had to grind a bunch of art for a comic festival/artist alley so I haven't been able to work in trad in a while 🙇‍♀️

I did buy pretty much everything in my wishlist and I'm excited to try them out 😭

022526 Faber Castell Black Edition Skin tone + Prismacolor + Polychromos

Kinda borked claire's proportion but I enjoyed the combination of pencil feel!

022226 Languo Direct Liquid + Miracle Works Dual tip Acrylic Marker

This was a quirky one. the paper for this is a glossy photo paper since I've heard people recommending using coated paper for acrylics. It makes an interesting finish. The matte acrylics over squeaky shiny paper. There's an odd quirk where the acrylic markers will bunch up into little bubbles and after drying will flake off leaving an unpainted unique texture. Can't tell if I love or hate it.

020226 Hightune Watercolor Brush markers, Yu xue tong watercolor brush markers, Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers, Tombow dual tip markers, everyone and their mom...

it was atp when I made my brush marker set organized. It really lessened the friction in choosing and putting away colors. It's not perfect, because colors exposed in light will fade etc etc but it's pretty good for now.

021326 Brutfuner Macaron, Fluorescent, Square Colored Pencil, Staedtler Supersoft Colored Pencil, Polychromos

Fluorescent set is ass at blending but it's so nice to use as a last low opacity fluorescent layer on top.

020626 Yu Xue Tong Watercolor Brush Marker

Tried so hard to make the limited palette work. I think the orange peach coat is my fav part, i might as well shade every part save 30% with it.

013026 Hightune watercolor brush markers + Zig Clean Color Real Brush

Photo Studiessssss. Clean color sets tend to be "stupid proof" with how complementary the colors are with each other.

012726 Brutfuner Multicolor Pencils

Photo studies. This was so much fun! I need to lock in more to figure out how much i want to render vs how much i just wanna leave white in pencil illustrations...

012326 Silky Crayons

Photo Study. I gained the courage to use my silky crayon with some palette knife... It was tricky. and I love getting finer details. which you should be more flexible of in this medium. I should use it again to get my money's worth but idk what to use it for...
