using the appropriate paper for your art will make a WORLD of difference.

Not just here are some tutorials for markers in general.
Feng Tutorial (http://www.artbyfeng.com/studio.htm)
Sakanayama (http://www.sakanayama.net/ame/tutorial.html)

Oh and If you really want the techniques down buy the feng dvd's but you should be fine if you foloow the basic rules:

They will always bleed make allowances for it

Dont cross hatch

Work fast with markers, the slower you go the messier it will get.

For your line art use a non alcohol soluable pen or a photocopy, otherwise the pen will smudge, dont use pencil it does it a bit to.


And it will always bleed through the paper unless you use marker paper. Normal copy paper is useually fine to use but put somthing underneath it.
