Sharpie art on discs?

[MooTaters]

I should really get my friend to make an account and post his up on here. He sharpies just about all his discs.

Bottom stamped Aviar

Another one my daughter did on an R-Pro Dart.
The lettering is "Futhark" (?, I think that's right...) and says "All Hail". The snake dragon is a character in some kind of D&D story.

My buddy has done some sick sharpie art on all his and they haven't faded one bit..

Both of my first 2 discs I bought have sharpie "art" on them. One is a Star Wraith, and a DX Rhyno, but I've had to retrace on both of them a few times, but the DX is always more faded, which is weird because I NEVER use that thing anymore, except the last few days on my practice basket.

This is a Pro Destroyer, masked and dipped for the black outlines, then colored/shaded with a marker kit I got from Target ($20).

I used to use Prismacolors a lot when I was chasing an illustration major. Those markers are fantastic for shading, as many of the lighter colors (especially those for skin tones) will darken if you layer them. But I suspect that Prismacolors would rub off and/or fade quickly.

The marker kit I use isn't Sharpie brand, but they act similar. Shading is touchy, as the acidic effect of the ink will erase/dilute the marker color under it, especially when the color you're marking over is still wet. Darker colors have a sheen/gloss to them, and so will stand out if the light catches it right. If you're considering using marker, I'd recommend using it only on designs where the surface area that needs coloring is relatively small. It's difficult to get the uniform color that Rit dipping gives you, and so large colored areas can look spotchy. If you're forced to use marker on large areas, try coloring quickly, and avoid going back over areas you've just colored. Also try cross-hatching if the colors come out splotchy.

Nice Work. I "doodle" on all the discs I own...some good, some bad.

only reason i used sharpie is because thats what i had available. I was going to try to dye, but then i found out that the Rit dye changed and that kind of got my hopes down

I did both of these Whippets with stencil the same as i do with dip dyeing. the yellow one is DX and the white is a KC Pro.

star plastic looks great right after a dye job but it really does fade-to-ugly

go-go gadget sharpie for the quick touchup

it's these rare moments that i realize i should prob re-ink my name/# on my discs...

My GF did this one as a donation to the Eric Yetter Championship this weekend.

Does Sharpie work on R-pro?

Does Sharpie work on R-pro?

Yes. R-Pro Dart, artwork by my daughter.

I decided to try out sharpie "art" on my base plastics to see how they turn out. I marked them similar to golf clubs. So my putt-approach discs are (P, SW, LW), midrange (7, 8, 9 iron), fairways (3, 4, 5 iron), and distance (D, 3W, 5W).
Not worried about the ink being removed because they are just numbers and letters so it would be easy to re-ink them.

A couple of guys have commented that sharpie art looks tacky. I don't know if its quality of work or quality of medium that brings them to that conclusion. I think that i've done a couple discs in sharpie that can be considered fair, art-wise. And as far as the medium goes, yeah, sharpie fades and scuffs, but that's your disc developing character, so the fading isn't a problem for me. Sometimes I'll go back and touch up lines or whatever, but mostly I let 'em fade.

 

[Brokensaint]

Of course, I'm not selling these. They're just for me, or people who have asked for something. The Fallout, Dr. Strange, Deadpool and Rogue were requests from people

 

[wake911]

nice work, damn!

I am not an artist with sharpie (or any other drawing medium) but i am going to try a couple from stencils on some extra discs I have, to see how bad it looks. If it's passable, I have a couple main discs I might attempt. Just basic stuff, but should be fun. I tried dying once, and it was a nightmare for me, so never again. not enough patience.

Good artists can make a freaking napkin drawing with a normal ink pen look awesome! this is truly a case of Indian vs Arrow
