Designer Susy Ratto shares a few tips for successful brush marker strokes. - For best results, use a high-quality laser paper when practicing strokes.
- Store flexible-tip brush markers horizontally. This will keep the pigments evenly distributed.
- Next, hold the pen so that the side of the brush makes contact with the paper while forming strokes. The pen angle determines the width of the stroke.
- To taper the pen stroke and create depth, simply "flick" the brush up or down at the end of a stroke.
- Color can be layered at the top or the bottom to create a gradient effect.
