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 670Γ7637 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!

Maybe you can do a tutorial that better explains transparent stuff, like how you usually do the color. Do you do whatever is in back first? Cus I didn't really get what you said in this tutorial. Other than that, pretty good tutorial.

may I ask what paper you use? When you draw with my markers there are always much darker stripes (when I draw over a place two times) Is this a paper problem or a technic problem . I use paper for drawings with markers at the moment

She says what paper she uses in the description.
If you get darker stripes when you color over a place two times, it's a technique problem. It just means that you have to color faster. Remember, markers are very fast drying, so you got to work quickly, or else it'll streak.

Hello! I really adore your two tutorials, they have helped me many times already. I do have a question though: The paper you use, manga manuscript paper - what is it like (aka smooth, rough, heavy, etc)? Thing is, it's not available in Europe apparently, and I want to try to find a paper similar to mm, since at the moment I'm in a paper-experimenting-phase.

Thank you for an awesome tutorial! The parts about creating transparent materials was particularly interesting, I'de been thinking about how to accomplish something like that. I used it as inspiration for parts of these deviations; [link] and [link]

My biggest problem when using copics is staying in the lines. My strokes are usually wide because I want my color to stay constant and not overlap in strange places, but I always end up going all over the place. D= Do you have the same problem?

Color-splash In reply to ??? [2010-01-03 05:01:51 +0000 UTC]
I don't know if this is a stupid question or not, but is there a difference between the Copic sketch and the copic Ciao's. And if so, which one is better? Thanks

This is soo tedious, I'd have a fit if I did one wrong thing (which is always) . Anyway, thanks for the tutorial, I'm thoroughly convinced about how awesome copic markers are and I REALLY want to buy some!!! I might be better at using them than ps

Amazing job! All of your works are so beautiful. You're such a talented artist. Thank you very much for making this tutorial! I also have a question. When I try coloring (though I have Prismacolor instead of Copic), sometimes when I color a large area I accidentally overlap (even when it's not fully dry) and that area turns out darker than the other. ): How do you avoid that?
