Description
A few people were asking how I drew with markers, so here you go. ^.^Not perfect...but like it says I'm a putz...
Notes:
With really light colors such as white or paler skin tone just do the darkest shadows with an approximation of the color. Light skin tones look HORRID in Sharpie. If it really may bothers you color it with colored pencil or something. With really dark colors only use highlights or shade in black. Which makes a mess.
If coloring an area in black ink it in a dark color (I like blue) so it doesn't look like a shapeless black mass.
Like I said in the tut experiment with different colors for shading and highlighting
I hope this helps people
Edit-I've changed my sharpie coloring style since doing this :/ I might post a new tut eventually, but for now I hope this is still useful to some people.

Hee Sharpies are easy to find. You don't even have to dig up an art store.

Oooh, cool! This'll be really helpful! Quick question though; what kind of markers do you recommend I get to make the coloring look good? Are they just regular sharpies or are they a special brand?

You know...thinking about it it would probably work with any marker that has alcohol based ink. Non-alcohol would get all icky at the edges I think.

Thanks
Sharpie is the brand
I personally prefer the ultra-fine tip sharpies. They seem to last longer and seem to leave less streaks. I got one of those packs with all the colors
...
I also color on regular computer paper.
