Marker Rendering Basics

• Product Design Sketching

Marker Rendering

• Marker is a medium with great transparency
• Marker inks are dye-based, bright and vivid in
  colour
• Marker renderings should be sharp and crisp

Similar Colours

• Marker strokes fuse together on normal paper and
  get lighter when dried
• Marker stroke will not fuse on tracing paper and
  the same colour appears lighter than on normal
  paper

Complimentary Colours

• Unlike colour pencil, mixing complimentary
  colours may result in rather awkward result

Grey Overlay

• Overlaying grey tones on colour strokes can
  produce good shades
• Applying light tones over a dark tone on tracing
  produce a water-wash result

Shading with Markers

Basic SkillsMarker Solo

• Pick 3 marker pens of similar hues but different
  tones.
• With the lightest tone, use diagonal strokes to
  render the top surface with the highlight zone
  left blank
• With vertical strokes, render the 2 vertical
  surfaces
• With the middle tone colour, overlay a second
  layer to one of the vertical surfaces using
  vertical strokes and half of the other surface
  with diagonal strokes
• Add a final layer of vertical strokes using the
  darker tone
• Overlay another layer of diagonal strokes on half
  of the vertical layer
• Add background colour
• Use a cooler colour for shadow

Mixed MediaBackground Brush

• Apply a quick sweep of strokes on the paper to
  give the sketch a colour background
• Fill the shaded face with bluish shadow tone
• Fill the side face with medium grey tone and
  water-wash the shaded face with the same tone
• Overlay a layer of light tone to blend the
  colours
• Add the blue shadow
• High-light the top face and edges with colour
  pencil

Mixed MediaMarker Colour Pencil

• Render the background with a dark color of marker
  pen
• Depict light, shade and shadow of the cube with
  marker pens
• Enhance the rendering with colour pencils

12
Mixed MediaPastel Rubbing

• Rub a layer of powdered pastel colour against the
  paper to cover the entire cube
• Use a middle tone marker pen to render the
  vertical surface in shade
• With a marker pen of lighter tone, render a
  triangular area on the 2 vertical surfaces
• Use a darker tone marker to render the shadow
• Rub out pastel pigment along the horizontal edges
  with an eraser
• Give final touch to the drawing with a colour
  pencil highlighting the edges for a more crispy
  and definitive outline

Activity - Geometrical Forms

• Apply the marker rendering techniques to draw
  geometrical form compositions
• Use your assignment from lesson 6 as reference
• Complete 1 rendering in 10 minutes
• 2 3 drawing per A4 page
