5 Solución de problemas

5.1 Ink Bleeding/Feathering

If ink appears to bleed or feather excessively, it may be due to the type of ink or excessive saturation. Try using a finer-tipped pen or a less saturated application. Kent paper is generally resistant to feathering with most standard inks.

5.2 Paper Warping with Wet Media

While the paper can handle light washes, heavy application of wet media may cause slight warping. To minimize this, tape the paper to a rigid surface before applying wet media. Allow the paper to dry naturally and completely.

5.3 Smudging

When working with dry media like graphite or charcoal, smudging can occur. Use a fixative spray to set your artwork once complete. Avoid touching the drawing surface directly.
