For this drawing I used COPIC markers along with Faber Castell Polychromos Colored Pencils and the surface I used was the Strathmore 500 Series Bristol Plate 100% Cotton paper. I find the 500 Series from Strathmore, especially the Bristol Plate, to be the perfect surface for Colored Pencil and Markers. The paper allows the marker to layer without bleeding and feathering all over the place, but then when it comes to applying the colored pencil for detail, the 100% cotton content allows for plenty of layers and seamless blending.
