Hello,
Can I use fineliners that are not black or blue for the lessons? I found a set of 0.5mm fineliners for a bargain but it is a range of colors?
thanks.
As long as they're not crazy bright colours, you can use them. But you should be only using one colour per exercise (so not making every box a different colour) unless you're ruling correction lines.
I tend to be more inspired if I use colors. I stick with one per drawing but when I was a teen and pushing myself to live with mistakes (not allowing pencil use) I used only purple felt tip or ball point pens. Im very in to color for mood type things, and using them or even brown was far more appealing for me than black.
This is another one of those things that aren't sold through Amazon, so I don't get a commission on it - but it's just too good to leave out. PureRef is a fantastic piece of software that is both Windows and Mac compatible. It's used for collecting reference and compiling them into a moodboard. You can move them around freely, have them automatically arranged, zoom in/out and even scale/flip/rotate images as you please. If needed, you can also add little text notes.
When starting on a project, I'll often open it up and start dragging reference images off the internet onto the board. When I'm done, I'll save out a '.pur' file, which embeds all the images. They can get pretty big, but are way more convenient than hauling around folders full of separate images.
Did I mention you can get it for free? The developer allows you to pay whatever amount you want for it. They recommend $5, but they'll allow you to take it for nothing. Really though, with software this versatile and polished, you really should throw them a few bucks if you pick it up. It's more than worth it.
