When i first start sketching i use a drafting pencil because its easy to erase and it comes out really light. they are a little expensive to buy but they work nice.
my advice for blackbooks is plan stuff out becuase if you dont it could be a disaster really, it sucks when you go through whole blackbooks becuasde you couldnt settle on a idea
Come on people post more tips! anybody know any go0d techniques when coloring with prismas how to make you'r colors not mix/blend/bleed into eachother?

how do you get the white highlights to pop like this and stay so white? I use decos and my white highlights always let the color underneath bleed through. Maybe I need a different marker for white or something I should try some prismas
[Broken External Image]:http://www.cardcraftplus.co.uk/acatalog/GRP03.jpg great for the highlights. Some prisma tips, probably apply to other similar markers. If you want a color in between two colors you have, fill in with the lighter color then with the darker. this is why you are an idiot if you buy more than a 48 pack, you cannot be that lazy. If you have the color you have already and want to shade it with that 3d look, buy(or rack) a 20% cool grey and a 40% cool grey or warm (personal preference) and then use the base color for the lightest, then after that use the 20 on the platform wich it corresponds to then the 40 on the last. do this even if the colors of the sides are different so it gives it that not shit look.
just rock pens son. make the sketchyness of the pen freestyle strokes part of the style itself. straight pen freestyles are the illest around. and dont ri pages out of your book ever. every little bit ads character. if you dont like the first little bit of a sketch, just keep going. if you really cant, then comeback to it later. dont just tear it out your book. shit is bunk
word. It really just takes practice. And I steady and. I know some ppl who only use markers when they sketch...They use usper light highlighters, AND then go on top of those lines....Its looks dope....But I mean shit I can't do that...... One way you could practice tho. I try doing boxes with markers and try to keep your lines as clean as possible
These are just some random tips, but watever, it can help people some times its good to erase the pencil wen colouring in the piece. wen using decos, be very careful and patient, because sometimes they leak, and they can really fuck up your pieces. i have to say some times the best type of markers to use wen black book sketching, it would prolly be alchohol based markers (thats just my opinion) such as "le plume" and "touch markers". and wen using markers, ALWAYS do the darker value over the lighter value, otherwise your piece can turn out fucky
