Description The Sea (Illustration on Ukulele)Permanent markers

A ukulele design commission that I did over winter break. I also attempted to shoot a time-lapse/speed-draw video, but the lighting conditions were pretty bad in some parts, so I don't have the whole thing.. but you can still watch parts of the process: [link]

This is really beautiful. Now I feel like investing on sharpies and try doing something like this too XD
Btw what is a "washing technique"?

ohh ok. thank you so much for sharing
I was trying a little bit with my sharpie pen but I kept getting excessive ink at the end of each line. Is there a way to avoid that?

Yeah that sometimes happens to the ink... try using it kind of like a sketching pencil, so to make one line, draw a couple of quick lines over each other, extending it each time.
