Camilla White
“I’ve been dabbing with these beautiful markers for the first time, just going on trial and error. I bought a 36 pack and a few random colours, and I see exactly what you mentioned in regards to going crazy with purchases. I have only 3 out of the 10 colours reccommended , out of my 48. Hahahaha The shading and the blending techniques are key! Most importantly for me, is the saturaion and value numbers. I know my artwork will improve 100%!! Thank you!”
