I also used a variety of other Ultra-fine Permanent Markers on this piece, a Green, Blue, Brown, Violet and Berry, all Sharpie markers. This is optional, you don’t have to have those markers to complete this project! You can simply outline everything with your Black marker, or use coordinating paint instead!
