EditSteps
-
1Choose a paper that you want to use. Try using white, because the darkened colors will be more visible. It is inadvisable to use dark colors, like black and blue, because the darkened highlights won't be visible at all.
-
2Choose a bright highlighter to use, such as neon or yellow.
-
3Make a firm, straight line on the paper with your highlighter.
-
4Take a dark marker (preferably Sharpie), and run it over the highlighter mark. If it is darker, you have completed your goal.
EditTips
- Draw lightly.
EditWarnings
- If you press hard on a sharpie, you may not be able to see the brighter colors in the background; so, do a light pressing. Also, if you do it very hard, the sharpie will leak through the paper.
