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 670×7637 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!

I know this sounds totally stupid and I'm real sorry to bring it up, but when you say gel pens I thought they looked more coloured fine liners...??
This picture and tutorial is real useful and I really hope it will help me when I attempt to try ainme/manga art (because its never work for me before) but I just want to make sure I have the right equipment.

Haha, the white pens I use are really just gel pens. You can get them in most art and craft stores :>

oh my god it would cost $1149.88 to buy all the markers ._. not that I would need them all but still those are some expensive markers. awsome tutorial. though I think it'll take me awhile to be afford enough markers that I can put it to use

Wow, you're pictures look like they were drawn digitally! You seriously used markers...? You must have an excellent scanner because with mine you can definitely tell that the picture is in a sketchbook... shadows and lines and such...

OMG THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!
*Hugs and gives cookie*
this helped me a LOT
I am sooooo jealous of your shading skills
I usually end up either attemting to shade the drawing(beautiful, helpless, and which I usually worked SOOOoooOOO hard on drawing) and MURDER it -___-;;, or not shade it and leave it un-finished looking and retarded TT^TT
How old are you anyway?
Do you take classes?
How long have you been drawing?
Are those copic ciao or sketch?
What paper do you use?
Srry for blabbing on your comment box lol
Anyways, you have talent(a LOT D:<
and thnx again for the tutorial :]

Hey, Just wondering, For that $4.50-$6.50, How long do these markers last?
If they last a year or two, it's worth it, But most of the pens I buy tend to give up after 2 weeks, I draw far too much.

cartoongirl7 In reply to TheBigBadFish [2009-06-07 03:19:31 +0000 UTC]
I got my first set of markers around this time three years ago, and the ones that I don't use frequently are still alive and kicking. However, the colors that I use for practically every drawing (skin tones, grays, etc), I have to replace pretty often. For those, I just get a refill which has enough ink to refill your marker about 5-7 times.
As long as you don't abuse them, they should last a decent year and more

this is the best copic tutorial i've ever seen!! so detailed and, of course, understandable i didn't know kinokuniya sells art supplies. maybe i'll try my luck at the one and only kinokuniya in my country XD
i wish my parents are as supportive as yours. they think drawing is a complete waste of time T.T
anyways, thanks!

I was thinking of getting copics

Do you know the difference? :0
