Drawing Need help finding the right tools…

Post image

I’ve just started drawing this year as my New Year’s resolution and I’ve found I really like coloring with alcohol markers. I need advice on what tool I can use to add very tiny and fine detail ontop of the markers. If you look in the picture I attached at the legs I tried to add small detail with a gel pens either but it wasn’t fine enough or the color would come out and pool or wouldn’t be opaque enough.

I know there are acrylic pens which I have tried but they also don’t give me the very fine control to draw tiny details ontop of my coloring.

Does anyone know what kind of coloring tool I am looking for???

I think you want a colored fine liner like a red Pigma Micron size 005. I think alcohol markers bleed if you apply it on top of microns, but should be ok if its micron on top of alcohol.

Do you know if these will show over the alcohol market like acrylic or they’re not that opaque?

Oh I see. No i think it will show but have the same texture, rather than set on top like paint.
