A Royal Copic Marker Swatch
Real shade is not darker color, real shade is desaturated color.

Underpainting creates natural colors found in everyday life.

Once I had decided on the markers to get the purple color just right I thought “hmmm what if we add a hint of magenta?”
Calling RV55! Please report for duty!
