Description So I applied the some of the tips I got for inking.

- Use non-photo blue pencils for light sketching, avoid heavy lines.
- Turn the page when inking and do it carefully.
- Different line weights according to light source.
- Draw big

Next thing to apply:
- Use paper with less texture (or paper that absorbs less marker ink)


Media: Prismacolor blue pencils, PITT Artist's Pen (B), Pilot technical pens (0.05)(0.3), Markers, sketch pad.
No soundtrack this time.

Looks good, I like the size.

Yeah, paper makes a huge difference quality wise, and what sort of effect you get. The term "You get what you pay for" really applies traditionally. Regular computer really sucks up ink and bleeds.

true that....
Tried marker paper tho. It's good with markers naturally but not with technical pens


There's still room for improvement I guess

Not sure what sort of marker paper you tried, but there are a bunch out there. I guess it's just about finding one that you think work best for you. I've only tried 2 types of marker paper.

Here's one that I highly recommend - [link]

I was able to get this sort of look going with it - [link]

You can get a nice cell shaded look with it, or a more blended one if you want. I haven't had any problems with it

I confess my guilt, I went and bought the cheapest (+ on offer) T_T
I can try to see if that copic marker paper is
available at my art supply store.

Haha, sorry, I'm not trying to sound teacher-ish or tell you what you should be using. The 'cheap' stuff can be good too, it's all about what you like in the end. If it works for you, keep on using it. But at the same time don't be too afraid to try new paper. And I also try to stick to whatever paper is on sale/in my price range at the time. I'm not too confident yet to risk messing up some expensive paper, lol.

wrapping, too scared to ruin it....Those babies cost a lot
