Introduction

With this tutorial I am going to guide you, stage by stage, through the methods I use to produce a rendering. I have developed this style over the past couple of years and find it the most simple and efficient way to produce a good drawing. Just remember however that there is no right or wrong way to render. This tutorial aims only to inspire... not to instruct!


Materials Used

Marker paper - Reduces the bleeding of ink when using marker pens

Black Biro pen - For most line work and preliminary shading

Chartpak Markers - For blocking in the largest solid areas of colour

Airbrush - Used to create smooth gradients of colour

Coloured pencils - For final detail finishing work

Bear in mind that this is only a guide so if you feel that you can achieve a suitable result using a different method, then do so. For instance, I have substituted using a real airbrush and coloured pencils for similar tools in Photoshop and a sketch tablet. Using this I am able to achieve very similar results but in a more versatile way. I also find it faster and dare I say less stressful (it’s a lot easier to remove mistakes on the computer). The principal for all mediums used is very similar however and throughout the tutorial I will point out how the varying methods compare.
