EditTips
- Try to use colors that won't bleed or mix. Light colors often get stained by darker ones.
- To have a perfect shape you can use a ruler.
- You can try various color combinations.
- The thicker your highlighter, the easier it is drawing the outlines.
- If you want a completely transparent cube, you can use a soft pencil instead of a highlighter pen and then get rid of the pencil marks with a good eraser.
