The Curse of Vision w/ Process (Traditional, Ink and Markers)
"The Curse of Vision"
9"x 12"
Tools:
- Deleter Neopiko-Line-3
- FW acrylic ink
- Art-N-Fly alcohol based markers
PROCESS:
I recently received some new fine liners and ink that I ordered, doing some testing to find ink that's more resistant to alcohol markers right now. I've heard good things about Deleter, and they have one of the darkest black inks on the market. (Though for this piece I only used the fine liner, i'll be testing their other inks later)
I was excited to use the new fine liner (yes, excited about a marker) so I didn't do any pencil work beforehand on this one. Starting really loose and messy.
So far so good, I really enjoy the Deleter Neopiko. The ink is still quite dark (though it's not their darkest ink) and makes post process easier when scanned, no feathering problems so it makes crisp lines.
Now to test the alcohol markers and see how the Deleter Neopiko's ink holds up. Starting by filling everything in light colors as always, and then adding darker colors on top.
So far no issues with the alcohol marker picking up the black ink, Now we see how it deals with the blending process.
I blend with a colorless alcohol filled marker then go over one last time with the light color to make the blend look more natural. (I honestly had more photos of the blending process this time but most of them corrupted on me.)

And after an hour or two of blending i'll call it finished.
Johnfist killin' it again!!
I love seein all the progress pics!
Thanks buddy! I had more pictures but a bunch of them corrupted on me, So there should hopefully be more next post.
Can't wait! About how long does it take to make one of these masterpieces?
I work on and off on them for around a week, it's a decent time window that doesn't have me forcing it and making mistakes. (I unfortunately have never kept a time log when I draw so I don't have an actual number.) Generally it's the color portion that takes up the most time on these.
Nice! It's workin for ya!! The colors add so much. Keep it up and soon enough you'll be a WHALE. You could also maybe at some point repost some of your first works on here. They deserve much more than the few cents they earned!
Thanks! That's the dream, haha.
That's a good idea! i'll figure out some way to throw back to them, Maybe a mid year recap or an end of year recap or something.
That's a brilliant idea. Can't wait! Are you selling them?
At the moment I'm selling them locally (in my area). I'm in the process of setting up a web store so that I can offer them to more people and be able to accept more then just cash or an e-transfer.
Love your work man. Keep risin ;)
Thanks man! there's definitely more to come.
Looking foward to it. Btw. do you do digital art?
I've played with it before, I don't have my gear set up for it right now unfortunately.
This is awesome man. Nice work! It's really cool to see your process.
Thank you! I'm happy you enjoyed the process!
It's cool because it gives people an idea of how it all comes together. I think there's as much to admire in the process as in the finished product.
I definitely agree with you there, I love seeing the steps of a piece of art coming together.
very nice, thank you
Thanks!
Radical! Great work!
Thank you!
Man! Your stuff is dope. What would it cost me to get you to do a New Orleans style piece for my house?
Thanks man! At the moment i'm not open for commission work, When I am open for commission work i'll make sure to put up a post with all the details.
Sounds good, I’ll keep any eye out for that post.
Enjoyed seeing the process pictures and I like the colors. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! I'm happy you enjoyed the process photos.
