Another vibrant work, really like them

My favourite of your series ... costume of yesteryear, but attitude of today. And brilliantly coloured - apologies if you've told us elsewhere, but what is the mix of media you've employed?

I start with HB pencil working as quickly as possible, purely to establish shape and form. Speed is the essence with me, because if I slow up, the scene becomes laboured and contrived. I then ease up with a permanent thick marker pen. I find if use a thin line pen, there is too much accuracy required and fluidity is lost. I then scan in the picture and enjoy trying out different fill colours using paint shop pro.
