Description It's done...

It's done, diddly, done. I think I'm going to cry...

I'm really happy with this tutorial, even though it looks cheap and dodgy (took me three days to make it, and even so it still looks cheap and dodgy), because I did everything myself! I figured out all the little buttons and liksies and everything, without even using the Flash tutorials! HEEE!

As I promised the peoplies out there who keep asking me 'How the HUCK do you colour like that?!', here's a little COPIC Tutorial for you. But just because I do it this weay, doesn't mean EVERYBODY has to. Get your own style! Develop individually! Be unique! AND DON'T STEAL MY WAYS! XDDD

Enjoy!

Yiji

I'd like to expression my appreciation.

*appreciation*

Thanks so much.

I have.. uh 12 copic markers, so I'm far off from producing anything but I like to learn and this was very nice learning.

I like this layout, page flipping let, you make it very detailed and thats exactly what newbs like me need.

what type of paper did you use? [it may have mentioned...]

I recently got some Manga Paper by Aquabee...i find that the marker, even with the colourless blender dries insanely fast... anything you would recommend?

Yiji In reply to get-sirius [2006-11-10 08:21:17 +0000 UTC]

I'd probably recommend the porous paper you can find in many of those nameless black art-books in newsagencies. The paper is slightly textures, but it's good for retaining moisture even for a little while.

This has been really helpful! I own a few Copics myself (and planning to get more :3) but I don't use them to colour people. But the way you colour your eyes has certainly inspired me Thanks for sharing this with everyone!

nice! but if you color the skin with the base color, doenst it like not look smooth? when you color there are some parts that are darker than others and it looks ugly right?

thank you, thank you, thank you for making this tutorial! i've always been a bit afraid to try anything with markers cuz it ends up looking like crap. but this is really informative. i espescially liked when you went into the shading techniques. now i'm off to go marker stuff!
