Question

How do I get clean, layered art on a dry erase board?

Answer

Good dry erase art comes down to layering colors, planning proportions, and keeping the surface clean.

  • Start with light marker colors and build darker tones on top
  • Sketch a light grid first to keep proportions accurate
  • Practice the design on paper before committing to the board
  • Use fine-tip markers for detail and chisel tips for large fills
  • Clean the surface weekly with isopropyl alcohol to prevent ghosting
