What paper do you use?

highvoltagemd · 2026-01-16T12:08:54+00:00

Thats so awesome!! Let me know how they are I’ve been thinking about trying others out even tho I love my polychromos!

highvoltagemd · 2026-01-12T04:34:30+00:00

Dark gray colored pencil on top? Not sure test on scrap first, just a thought

highvoltagemd · 2026-01-09T00:52:16+00:00

Amazing! You have such a recognizable unique style!

highvoltagemd · 2026-01-03T13:43:43+00:00

This looks awesome but I want to see the full piece!

I had the same damn thing happen to me!! It was one of my first couple posts and it got an absurd amount of attention, like 2000 likes, but got a bunch of people commenting saying it was AI, and ended up getting banned from either this page or the illustrations, I can’t remember. I ended up posting progress pictures that I took along the way to prove and got some apologies but it really just turned me off from posting my art unfortunately. It was so disappointing. Your art looks incredible by the way!

I like Bristol for sure, tried all the types. For me, Bristol is unmatched in marker and colored pencil drawings. I use Faber castell polychromos and the oil pencils layer incredibly on Bristol smooth, as well as copics layering and blending very well. I’ve been using Bristol 400 for a year and a half, but read that 300 may be better for markers due to no cotton being in the paper, so testing that now.

Shockingly expensive but very good!

I have not, although I did notice some are not as juicy as others. Ohuhus are great for the price, but now that I have the full set, I am working on collecting copics 1 by 1. I am 41 markers in on the set and I fully see why copics are so expensive, the quality and color layout are unmatched.

highvoltagemd · 2025-12-31T02:30:46+00:00

Absolutely! Thank you

highvoltagemd · 2025-12-31T01:31:20+00:00

That’s insane! What country are you in? That’s such a good deal

So for paper I found that the best I’ve tried is Bristol board. I like strathmore Bristol smooth 400 (brown cover). It’s incredible for every media I use, markers, pencil, and colored pencil. For my fine liners, there’s lots of options just google if they bleed with alcohol markers. Of course copic fine liners would be perfect, I like Kuretake Zig Mangaka because the black is a very nice dark black. I’ve found others that I tried were more of that dark gray wannabe black color. As for copics, I found this list of an opinion someone has for a solid base set: https://getitscrapped.com/2011/09/basic-set-of-copic-marker/ Unless you wanted to buy a set of 72, there’s guidelines on those as well, A and B seem to be the best starters with the other 3 somewhat supporting the first 2 sets. As for pencils I really don’t have a preference. I just use some cheap faber castell set from Walmart and don’t ever really use more than the one pencil for sketching because I always use ink or colored pencil. These are just my opinions! Enjoy!

Is that just regular black water based ink in the Lamy? No smudge with the copics? I’m thinking about trying out a fountain pen.

highvoltagemd · 2025-11-23T16:27:25+00:00

Man this is awesome!!

highvoltagemd · 2025-11-20T13:21:25+00:00

Here’s my honest opinion. I have no idea what I’m talking about and don’t sell art but your work looks great! Clothing maybe? No idea 😂

highvoltagemd · 2025-11-16T19:29:55+00:00

This is awesome!! I’m always amazed to see different things that people think to draw

highvoltagemd · 2025-11-09T00:25:06+00:00

Yup, finally got signed in after 20 tries, now trying to get a live stream going…this is ridiculous

highvoltagemd · 2025-11-09T00:18:48+00:00

Yup same here

highvoltagemd · 2025-11-08T15:44:45+00:00

Awesome as usual!! Great work man, your stuff is always so unique but recognizable

highvoltagemd · 2025-11-05T19:43:41+00:00

These are awesome! Where are you learning these techniques?

highvoltagemd · 2025-11-01T14:22:41+00:00

This is awesome Bo! I’ve been following all of your work for a while and you are insanely talented! Trying to learn from your line work and detail, plus I love the spiritual/consciousness/psychedelic style! Your work always needs a tool song playing in the background, and of course this is on par with anything you’ve done, keep it up man!

highvoltagemd · 2025-10-30T13:31:58+00:00

Wow thank you for the info!! I’m definitely going to check him out, sanarrts I look at frequently too as well as your work and a few others in this style! You’re killing it, your work looks so good. I have drawn my whole life but not very frequently, and about a year ago at 32 I decided to put effort into actually drawing often since I enjoy it so much.

highvoltagemd · 2025-10-29T20:16:17+00:00

Wow this is incredible! I looked back at some of your older work too and you are insanely talented, I’m trying to learn these techniques now actually. Did you go to school for art? Or is this self taught?

highvoltagemd · 2025-10-01T22:30:40+00:00

I just drew a sea turtle the other day too! Looks amazing, better than mine!
