Description Another WIP (sorry for them all!) Of Ed and Al (Started with the need to draw Ed with his nose plaster after Wes and I ranted on and on about how cute it was) - The sketch has been online for a while in places other than DA, but I thought I'd share how it's going so far. What I love about Marker and Paint pieces is how it's usually easy to fix up mistakes with them (and this pic is riddled with inking mistakes right now. X3).

For those who are curious on the markers used as bases:
Skin tones - Brick Beige (PrismaColor)
Ed's hair and Eye highlights - Primrose (Pro Marker)
Ed's Shirt - Poppy (Pro Marker)
Al's Singlet - Forest Green (Pro Marker)

HINT: I usually find that Pro and Tria markers work best for large areas of solid colour, while Copic and PrismaColor go nicely over the top of them for details, shadows and tones.

awww . hmm, what is it with a plaster on the nose? In Hellsing a char has one all the time (and in flashbacks), how odd.
But Ed looks cute with it, yes. I like the composition and Ed's biiig kinda sad/longing eyes & Al at the bottom *g*. Wonder what they're doing down there...
hmm, how do you remove the sketch lines? I never manage to erase them completely unless I barely touched the paper with the pencil (which is impossible to me if I wanna do a detailed sketch )...

I like using a (VERY soft) plastic rubber (um...erasor or however it's spelt...they're called 'rubbers' in NZ and not of the...sexual...kind... *cough). But yes, really soft plastic ones work great for pencil marks, I find. :3

hmm, thanx, I really have to try this, always thought the harder ones are better since they even take off a bit of the paper, so...the pencil's gone as well ).
Yeah, I actually learnt the word "rubber" for them first at school ...

I always feel that my pencils look by far better then my inks. but yours look good in both cases.
