Thank you! You’re close with your assessment. I did the lineart with the fineliners, but also some shading (hatching) and detailing on the bottles, etc. With the markers I did the mane, tail, mirrors, bar and some midtones in the props. The 2 markers I have produce a light midtone so I had to darken the lower part of the bar, the mirrors and the tips of the mane a bit more with the ink brush. The black background was also made with the ink brush. So I kinda used everything for everything. This image was produced with a scanner on 400dpi. Yeah trad art is ruthless without undo, but it has the best physics simulation ;)

Fineliners for line art, markers to block in colors and shading, and the ink brush for the reflective material? Also I don’t know if you took a picture with a camera for this, but the left side of the drawing looks out of focus. Overall great job, I appreciate artists that are willing to put so much effort into traditional art where there isn’t the safety net of undo/redo.
