#prismatic evolutions

First, I took the card image into Clip Studio and outlined all the pieces I would end up painting. Then I printed it out to the size of my binder! This took 4 pages.

It's important, if you're doing this method yourself, that you dont overlap the pages too much. Try to get them as close to edge to edge as possible. You'll see why.

I used white graphite transfer paper to transfer the design from paper to binder. It's super handy and can transfer to most surfaces! I was very impressed with how well the VaultX binder took the graphite.

Except...

Whoops! See those really faded sections? Yeah thats the overlap. But its okay! We're gonna outline everything with a white paint pen before we color.

Ta-da! Not EXACTLY like the image, some parts were just too faded to trace, but I referenced the card and did a pretty good job recreating it, I think. I used a Graffiti brand acrylic paint markers with a fine point for this part. I had to be careful, because the marker would skip and splatter paint if I tried to draw in certain directions.

Now, on to color! I used JusArt acrylic paint markers for this part. They come in 72 colors and have a brush tip. Which is much better for the textured surface of the binder. The brush doesnt tend to skip and splatter when laying down color.

Color, color...

As I'm finishing sections, I'm outlining them with the Graffiti markers. I still have to be careful of splatter.

Almost done! At this point I stopped working top to bottom and started working by color. It made the process much faster and easier to keep track of.
