Once again, I used fine liner and copiic markers.
As rubber ducks have a a different surface and texture, I wanted to attempt colouring them in with copic markers, I think blending and shadowing worked well, however the thatching with the finer liner not so much.
I think with this duck drawing, the generic shape and qwerkyness of rubber ducks would have been better with much more bold and vibrant colours. It tends to go slightly opaque and patchy, which shows I should have also gone over some areas and re covered them. 
This rubber duck has more coverage but still has some patchy areas; also it does not have very effective blending of colour nor strong shadowing/highlighting. 
Even though I did not follow the correct colour of the duck I was drawing from, I found this rubber duck most successful in its shading and colouring. It has blended tones which subtly show shading much more effectively and emphasise the round shape of the head much better.
Overall, I enjoy using copiic markers and will continue to experiment with them. I am repeatedly shown that I need to add more coverage to my drawings, however I am very pleased with the tones and blending opportunities shown with this product. I would like to experiment these with a range of materials so what they work well with.
