Well, Joanna, as for my sketching with a Sharpie, here is the story:
From the wetcanvas.com Scavenger Hunt 3
Nitsa aske me what a Sharpie was,
"Nitsa, a Sharpie is a permanent marker. I use them to write on CD's or DVD's. Nice flow to them. Some of the colors soak through the paper though.
Jo"
My second answer to her (and now to Joanna)
"Arghhh. I just looked at my "Sharpie" again. LOL I have been using a blue ZIG pen which says, "Pigment ink. Acid free. Archival Quality. Lightfast. Waterproof. Fade Proof. Non-bleeding.
No wonder it was sketching so nicely! The other evening I did use the real Sharpie and it did bleed, therefore my statement above. So sorry, the ZIG pen is great .. Sharpie, not, at least for sketching.
Dingy Jo"
No wonder you were remarking about the sketches looking good and done with a Sharpie. Looking back in my sketchbooks the ones done with a Sharpie did bleed. Grumble, but nice to know the difference, now. Live and learn.
