Cardinal, the state bird of Ohio. I received a set for fine line Art Alternatives colored pens (should I call them markers?) and figured I give them a spin. Probably better for fine line monogram work but I still enjoyed this.

I don’t know exactly what type of material this plastic banner is, but its the worst. I’ve tried markers, both illustration and permanent Sharpie types, I’ve tried gel inks and now acrylics. Every medium seems to slide around on this. I hate it and because this is so difficult to work with my inspiration and overall creativeness have suffered.

I can’t seem to replicate the vibrancy of the metallic inks when I photograph the finished item.
