📄 Paper Selection

Choose 65–80 lb Cardstock

Standard 20 lb copy paper bleeds and warps under alcohol markers. Heavy cardstock absorbs ink evenly, allowing silky, streak-free gradients without tearing.

🖨️ Home Printing

Print at 100% "Actual Size"

Always uncheck "Fit to Page" in your printer settings to preserve crisp 300 DPI linework and generous margins for marker blending and desk framing.

🎨 Marker Blending

Blend from Light to Dark

Lay down your lightest base tone first, add shadow depth with a mid-tone, then melt the seam using small circular motions with your light marker.

📱 Digital Coloring
