Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I think the effect you want would be achieved with florescent acrylics!. You can find them at a Michaels store, but probably not in the art supplies section!. They are probably in the craft section!. They need a white undercoat!. Let it dry before applying the color!. They are also transparent and may take more than one coat, but that's why they are bright!. Make your sketch light so it doesn't show through!. Have fun!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Acrylic or Oil, I think!. Although I think using oil would be a lot more tedious!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
