Attempts at cel style animation proves difficult when you can't even find a weapon of choice to begin drawing with. "The pen is mightier than the sword"... but that not many are mightier than a piece of plastic though.
Round 1 (Ding ding ding!!!)
Biro vs acetate sheet.
Acetate floored it. Biro didn't even write.
Round 2
WHSmith Fibre-tip marker vs The Mighty Acetate.
Over in 2 seconds. Acetate wiped the floor with said marker. Markers have no staying power for the long fight.
Round 3
Faber-castell waterproof indian ink fineliner vs The Unbeatable Acetate.
No match. Clean defeat when the fineliner line was broken using a single finger.
Round 4
Alpha Design Marker vs Acetate: The Ultimate Fighting Champion
We have a winner! Alpha markers are called alpha for a reason. It left its mark.
We got there in the end though and it's actually quite a nice method I think. Once you've found a pen that doesn't wipe off straight away, it's quite nice to draw on acetate as there's very little friction and lots of flow for your lines. If I choose this method though then I might see if I can invest in some finer Alpha markers for detail.
