Getting started with binder art
Lately I've seen a lot of customized binders and I'd love to give it a go myself. I have a few friends with birthdays coming up over the next months so I figured it would be cool to give this a try and if all goes well, surprise them with one of their favorite pokémon on a binder.
I have no idea how to get started and quite a few questions. I have some experience drawing but only with pencils and no color so this will still be new territory.
A few specific things I'm wondering about:
- Which markers work well and on which type of binder surface materials?
- What can I use to seal it (I assume that's important too)
I don't want to overspend on something I'm not sure I'll love doing so I'd prefer to use affordable supplies that still yield decent results.
Another thing I'm not sure how to approach is choosing colors. Because I'll be drawing specific pokémon and not just entirely made up art it's important that the colors actually match the pokémon colors. This makes me assume that buying a set of markers wouldn't be great because it's unlikely to contain any of the colors I actually need.
Keep in mind I'm not familiar with markers at all so I'm not sure if there's some kind of color mixing approach or solution to this.
I wasn't sure whether to post here or on the PokemonTCG reddit but as it's just about art I decided to ask here and see.
