This is really the best tutorial on using markers I've ever seen - thanks a lot! And I would appreciate it to see another part with making textures and so on

And I have a question: You said "colour fast" but how do you manage to colour and soft-shade large areas before the colours are dry? I tried this, but the base-colour always dries before I could start shading, so I only get hard edges.

Wow, I was beginning to think you could only get that effect on the computer. I will be trying this, as soon as I get some comic markers... Great tutorial!

Congratulations on the Daily D!

Oh god working with Copics looks so complicated and a lot of work. XD I'm really not skillful with traditional art. *dies*

Just...a lot to take in at the same time. O_O

*dies again*

But amazingly done. <3

my copics are all chisel & hard nib tipped, the brush tips seem so much easier to control, and look so pretty!!
