Description
PLEASE FULL VIEW!(Scroll to the right half.)
Maybe one day when I'm crazy enough, I'll make a tutorial on the left half of that picture.
HOLY FREAK THIS TOOK WAY TOO LONG. I thought I'd take a nice, relaxing break from my chaotic Anime Expo preparations and have a go at my first tutorial, but nooooooo...this thing is more stressful than an actual drawing.
But seeing that I'm a PS newbie, I'm pretty glad that I was able to at least compile all this together. I guess I picked up some bits of Photoshop knowledge over the year after all. Would be sad if I didn't.
People have been asking me to do a tutorial for a long time now, and I apologize for taking next to forever to get around to it
Compressing 15 painful hours of sweat, cursing, and flinging objects into a 670ร7637 pixel tutorial is no easy task. I'm kind of sad that I had to cut like 30 pictures (about 8 steps) off from the walk through. The thing is flippin' ginormous as it is, so I couldn't make it even larger D: And excuse my random doodles. I went a little nuts on the commentary too -_-;;
This is a thank-you gift for all of my watchers and friends online, and hopefully it'll be of some use to those of you who are starting out with markers :>
FAQ's
You can get Copics at local art stores (if you're lucky), and definitely online. Aside from a Japanese bookstore I go to, Kinokuniya, I also order them from online at [link] . THEY ARE NOT CHEAP. They can cost from $4.50 to $6.50 each, so shop smart :>
Manga manuscript, A4 size; I prefer Copic and Manga University brand. You can find these online too.
Lots of trial and error and lots of practice.
EDIT:
Um...holy crap. Another DD?! I never even dreamed of getting the first one. Thank you =AdigunPolack for your suggestion and kind words, and ^znow-white for featuring it! I appreciate it very much!

This was really helpful. I'm new to copics and nice markers similar to them, since I got a set from my BFF for Christmas, but for the most part, I didn't know how to go about using them. 8D; I used what knowledge I've gathered over the years as far as colouring goes (starting light and shading gradually and other such things) but markers are totally different. 8D;; Thank you so very much for sharing this information and being detailed in what you do. I never would've thought of colouring over the shaded areas again with the base colour to help blend the colours better. o_o That's DEFININTELY going to come in handy. 8D; Haha Thanks again!

Oh my gosh! Thanks for the link to the copics! They are 7+ dollars for me to buy at the local art store, so this will allow me to buy more for less! Awesome tutorial too!

I have personally been using Copic Markers (and Copic Ciao) for about a year and a half now, as well as some Sakura Micron ink pens for about the same time frame. Even though I am quite familiar with them, this walk through/tutorial actually gave me a few small tips -like the one about inking pens; I personally haven't had a problem, but there is no reason why I shouldn't follow it!- so thank you very much!

Do you still use these Copics? I wonder how long they can be useful, since they are not so cheap c:

Most likely not, most markers behave differently, especially copics

This is great. I just got some copics, and they were all smeary. This should help a lot. ^^
Wondering if you can help me with my paranoia though.
How long do your markers last? Do they empty after a few pictures, or do they last for many? Thanks.

I know it's going to take a long time to be "good", but resources like this, helps to feel like the process is speeding up a little.ย Thanks again!

Hi-- just wondering-- I've let my inks dry for 15 minutes and still get smudging, using the same marker/pen combo as you-- do you have any idea what I could do differently? I'd really appreciate some guidance-- this stuff ruins my con sketches.

It was very useful thank you!!
But, i dont know one thing: when you color the draw, it is in pencil or is reviewed with pen?
Thank you!! :3
