I kept it simple. White paper, black sharpie.

Yup. There's regular copics, sketch (these have the brush tip), ciao, and wide. I have the regulars and sketch. There's 214 different colors for the regular and 358 for the sketch. Both are double sided and have replaceable nibs and refillable ink. The also have an airbrush system you can use with the brush side of the sketch markers. There's also inking pens. I used those to ink the drawing I did for day 1. A lot art done with copics tend to look as if they were done with watercolors. Oh and there's a program called Copic Sketchbook Edition made by autodesk that has all of the nibs and colors. I haven't used it much yet but it really does look just like if you were using the physical markers.

I just got home from work so I'm gonna start today's piece in an hour or two. I already have an idea how I'm going to do it and what I want to include.

That's super cool. It's almost like an optical illusion (or I just need to put on my glasses so the design can stop playing games with my eyes lol). Sharpies are one of my favorite mediums.

Fell asleep kind of early today due to being rather tired after work. Since I don't have anywhere to be tomorrow (today) I'll be doing both day 2 and 3. The theme for day 3 is up. Not much written about this one (but I also just woke up).

Love the b&w Naturallyhengeo! Very cool.

I'll be doubling up as well Lady J! I didn't have a clear idea about day 2 either but I'm getting one now.

Day 2, "Styling"

Started out fine but when I got to the other items the scale was pretty off. I just gathered the things I use most often. They're sitting on my scarf, which is laying on a board, which is sitting on my keyboard bench. The shadows are a bit weird since it's still day time. There's multiple light sources coming in.

(Spray bottle, banana clip, flat iron, butterfly clip, AO GPB condish, HE TT condish, Africa's Best Herbal oil in small spray bottle, HE TT Gel)




Day 3, "Vast"

Idk, why I named today's theme that lol. To be fair, I was half asleep. Kept this one pretty simple.

Here's my day 2 entry. Gonna have to double up for today again but that's ok.. it's gonna be fun. This was done in regular old No. 2 pencil on sketchpaper.

Lady J, damn, you know your marker very well! Next time I'm in the art supply store I'll have to keep an eye out for that brand and give them a try.

I'm gonna have to play catch up this weekend starting from yesterday's theme. Lot of things to do this week. I think I'll make Sunday "Draw Day" and do multiple drawings then. I did post the fifth theme this morning.
