I do not just “wing it” when it comes to using a permanent marker. Even with all the practice I’m getting, I’m not that good at it. Invariably I end up with 4 more letters in the word and only enough space for 1. So I sketch out the words/images I plan to draw first, then use the marker, then erase. Be careful when you erase to only rub the eraser away from the center of the glued on pages (otherwise crumpled pages may result). Finally I go back and add the watercolors.
