Marker Base for Oil Pastel

Here's a new technique that I learned for oil pastels that really adds depth in a hurry. In this practice sketch, the black base is with marker. This enabled me to leave the majority of the paper white while add deep shadows and color underneath the pastel. At first I was skeptical as to whether it would work. What a delight to discover how well it worked. I will want to try this on more projects.

Have you tried this technique and what results have you had from it?
