Description
Commissions for my irl friendC: I had to do this kinda rushjob because she needed it for a contest and she thought she had a day more than she had. SOOOO the color isn't perfect but it is good enough.
Commissions Info: [link]
Consider commissioning me? I have to pay back my parents for $651 worth of computer repairs.

I have like two prismacolors pencils, black and white XD But I think I lost both of them....I want to get a set of prismacolor pencils eventually.

I have...105! I would live off of them if I could. They're a great investment. Unfortunately, they're 1.75$ each...

OMG this is amazing
any tips?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I actually only own about 50-ish copics and about 60 prismacolors....
Tip wise...just ractice and look at tutorials here on dA, that was how I've been learning. I've been doing marker for about 3 years now...Ah, make sure you have decent paper. I use cardstock or in this case it was on some nice recycled sketchbook paper.

so would a regular piece of bristolboard from a dollar store be okay?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I've heard lost of people use bristol but I never have. You can get a 100 pack of cardstock at most officsupply stores for $5-$6 tho.

oh nice! ill be sure to go to the nearest one after i buy my copics
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No problem C: The cardstock I usually use is I think 65lb white bristol cardstock. It should say right on the pack the weight.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
65lb? ???? THATS REALLY HEAVY
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
LOL. 65lb paper means that one ream of paper (500 sheets) weights 65lbs. Normal printer paper is about 20lb paper.

XD thanks for clarifiying, i googled this after you said 65lb, i was like 0.0 WTF HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE XD

That gold gel pen effect is gorgeous~ ♥ I love doing that.
One thing I love doing with designs in glittery pen (esp. gold or silver) is to make the design and then on the bottom half of the design, with a /reeaaally/ thin pointed black pen, draw "shadows" that kind of attach the gold parts to the rest of the picture better. Here's an example; [link] I did it most noticeably on the corset and under the beads on the skirt.
It's fun to toy around with. ^__^

Thank you! I've done a little of that in the past but I had so little time to do this it just needed to be finished OTL But I will probably use that technique more in the future as it does have a nice look to it and brings out the designs more C: I need to find my silver pen OTL It went MIA.
