Simple Tips of Applying Colors to a Drawing:
Do you know when we stare at a color (Blue for example), we actually saw the opposite color of the color wheel (Orange), these blue and orange colors are known as complementary colors in the color theory (see below left for a test).

I still have the preparatory materials that I made available in April (see below). Even though the test is changing formats, this material is still sold through the PPI website – don’t be fooled by the new packaging…it’s the same thing and they haven’t yet figured out how to adapt to the new format (see here for a direct comparison of the r…[Read more]

I live in Upper Marlboro, MD, and am preparing for Sections 3 & 4 in December. Any DC/Baltimore/NoVa candidates doing the same? I’ve got all my study books and old vignettes, but it could be nice to know others in the same boat.

Hi Brian, Thanks for your response, somehow I missed it until now. Vellum is a bit pricey, so I ended up buying Canson light weight bond which works a lot like marker paper. I like your trace on foamcore style too. How do you mount it?

Tonie C. posted an update in the group BeLoose Graphic Workshop 12 years, 6 months ago

Hmm, can’t find a way to search these posts.
Has anyone found a place that sells marker paper on rolls? Alternatively… does anyone use vellum with ChartPak markers?
I’m sick of bond sucking up my markers, but I need large format. Thanks!

PS Hi Mike & Brian!
