Useful tips

The choice of a drawing for the "3 Marker Challenge" may depend on the age, gender or interests of the participants. The youngest players are advised to choose simple drawings for copying that are easy to repeat. These can be images of animals or objects with a minimum number of lines. In other cases, the choice of a drawing depends on the drawing skill, but the copying process can be made easier and faster if you follow simple tips.

• Selecting paperMarkers and felt-tip pens bleed through thin paper and leave uneven lines, so it is recommended to choose thick types of paper or special sheets for drawing with markers.
  
• Sheet arrangementThe sheet is positioned vertically or horizontally in advance, depending on which part of the drawing takes up more space.
• Schematic representationTo ensure that the selected drawing fits exactly in the center and does not go beyond the edges, the character is first depicted with schematic lines using a simple pencil.
• Stages of drawing charactersWhen choosing a complex image with many small details, start drawing with close-ups and general plans (head, body, arms) and move on to less significant ones (elements of clothing, folds, short lines).
• They start drawing with a pencil, to correct unsuccessful lines at any time. The finished image is outlined with a liner, black pen or marker. After that, the pencil sketch is erased.
