This is honestly extremely, extremely helpful; I'm always looking for tutorials for marker works and yours is one of the best I've seen 
Also, I find that whenever I have large areas to cover, especially clothes or such, that I have a hard time to make the coloring look smooth; I always get stripes or some areas darker than others (and not in a good way). I've tried downward strokes, tiny circles, lopsided circles, random scribbling -- everything seems to lead to poor results. Sorry to bug you, but do you have any advice?
Once again, wonderful job! ^^

for the shading i use downward parallel strokes, yes, but they're usually diagonal in the way the shadow is laying. if that makes sense ^^
hmmm... thats a hard one, i really can't describe my technique cuz it's really erradic and probably not the best either
baaaaaaah i wish i could explain it better >_<
thank you so much for the kind words tho darling <3

Excellent tutorial, really, really helpful since I just got my prismas and have no idea how to use them. I never thought of using a brown pen for lineart.

I really love how you use mostly prismacolors...I'm starting to really want the brush-pen versatility of copics, but I already have 144 prismacolors, so I really need to use them...
great walkthrough!

thank you! prismas are the best in my opinion c:

I LOVE the Sand prismacolor marker! I use it for the dark areas, too! XD
That really was a helpful tutorial, though..its obvious you know what you're doing.

prismacolors not copics ? 
lol
π: 0 β©: 1
i know! now im like, jaded against Copics a bit just cause everyone ASSUMES that's the marker i use, and everyone insists it's the best and whatever. NO. PRISMACOLORS FOR THE WIN XD
π: 0 β©: 1
i tried both and the best is the two together ^^

Lolz. Seems like you used more Gel pens then Markers. It still kicks some major ass. the tutorial was actually very good and helped alot.
π: 0 β©: 1
thank you! lol yeah... i use gels a lot, but if i use them too much then it gets pumpy and dumb Dx so i dont use them that much.

Another thing I must put on my ever growing wishlist of things I want for my birthday... FRECKIN' MARKERS! Gah!
Those effects are so unqiue. I've seen many other people use markers, yet I've always been scared to try. It tend to mess up alot. lol
And you didn't confuse me at all. You work in layers, and add effects with different things. You made it simple for me. ^^
So when I get my markers [One day. lol], this will be my guide! Thank Atomic-Clover. You are my hero. xD
Ps: Never seen the white gen pen effects before. A real cool trick to give the picture a good look. ^-^!

oh gawd, clothes
i would absolutely LOVE to help you, but i am SO BAD with wrinkles in clothes, im still practicing and learning, i really dont know how to help, cause when i draw wrinkles its always a 'trial and error' thing, i'll make a random line, and if it looks okay, i keep it and add more, if it doesnt i erase it and draw a different one...
i really am super bad with clothing folds. if there was a tutorial out there, it would be the most amazing tutorial ever for me T_T
but thank you for the encouragement love! sorry i couldnt help D:
