Illustration Experiment - Markers

My second Illustrative Experiment. 

This time I thought I would try Markers

I bought a small set from the office supply store.

Let's see if I can simplify my illustrative style with markers . . .

 SIMPLE being the ultimate goal - I have failed.

 I tried to lay the colors down in a flat cartoony style -

 but my heart and head would not cooperate.

I need depth and contour and layers of color.

I need more colors . . .

more layers . . .
more markers . . .
