6in x 6in Artist Tile

My new supplies got in faster than I thought, so I went ahead a did a quickie to test them out. This looks so much better in person, but you all know how my scanner is :/

I normally don't work with markers, but I do like these. My only problem is the blender that came with it--it kinda washes out (lightens?) the colors instead of blending them, but I'm pretty sure I'm just using it wrong, help D:
