Definitely one of the tougher stocks to color on, can get pourous or muddy, definitely doesn't like the normal skin color technique

Was it the card stock itself or any preprinted areas that were troublesome?

Garrett Blair

it's the stock itself, not as bad as the Avengers #24 blank, but more like the Walking Dead #150 blank

I see. I’m trying to take note of these problematic covers so I don’t torture artists on my requests. So far it seems most red colored card stocks are problematic as well. Do you have others you don’t like to work on?

it just depends, haven't ever really had luck on valiant blanks, older pre-2013 blanks can be glossy, some take pencils and ink but not markers well, like this convergence blank takes pencil and inks just fine, and like if you do a solid base color that works mostly, but blending and layers start messing with the fibers. Usually DC and mMarvel are fine till the odd one that doesn't seem to work well here and there, like the Spider-Woman #1 that had a lot of space. I'm thinking it's like this Convergence stock
