Description
Made with the image drawn for Kitten on RagnaInfo.net, one of the winners of my auction, which is a very long and complicated story but anyways.I was asked to take in progress photos of my marker work and I decided to just make a tutorial out of the photos. This is the first tutorial I've made like this for deviantART and it took a full 4 hours to put together, so I hope people like it and I would love to have some feedback. The image is of Kitten's huntress Kari Evelyn.

Hey! Wanted to thank you for such an awesome tutorial here. I recently bought some copics at a local convention, and have been working on figuring out the little intricacies of using them. Seeing your tutorial here is a very welcome change from all the freaking photoshop tutorials. ^^
Thanks again!

This is an amazing tutorial, thanks. 
I've never been really that confident in copic markers, though I have a bunch I haven't used in a while that I got from my artistic friends. But I think I'll pick it up again.. (With this tutorial for reference, of course!>o<
If you have the time to answer my question, I was wondering how you avoid making mistakes when you ink. XD I've been inking a lot with my Sakura Microns but I somehow keep making stray lines that bothers me to the point of me tossing the picture! (Because white-out does nothing to hide this, woe is me.) Do you have any advice, possibly? >_>

Very useful to we who see copics, but don't know how to make the gorgeous blending we've heard so much about. XD I sure didn't, so this is very helpful to me! Thanks!

Yay! This was really helpful! I recently became a new copic-sketch-marker mom, and I really had no idea how to best use my babies

whee~~
that's a really nice tutorial, thank you!
and it gives me a...well... better way to use the blender... I'll try that, 'cuz it for a change sounds like it works! XD (and looks like it, too *_* fantastic artwork)
I think you can ask 3 ppl and you get AT LEAST 3 different ways to use that mystery-copic 0 U_u
ranging from using it to draw over already existing colour (which sucks...though sometime works, depending on the paper) to sucking up colour from other markers with it (which sucks even more, or I'm just too damn dumb to use it properly ^^*)
so...well yeah... THANK YOU!

Do you think this would have the same effect with prisma markers???
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmm I don't think so. I also own Prisma markers and when I use them, it's difficult to get a brushy or light effect. The blending with two colors using the colorless blender on the bottom works with Prisma but because the tip is more like a marker whereas Copic markers have a tip that's like a brush... I think that's the main difference.
You could try tough!! Prismas are awesome at getting large areas of smooth color.

Thanks for the awesome tutorial! This makes me want Copic/Prismacolour markers. ;_;

This is really handy and informative. =3 When I finally get my hands on some copics I'll definitely come back to this.

WOW. ;_; YAY A TUTORIAL. That makes me so happy xD I can train in the ways of the copic now *cheers* A colorless blender, where may I procure one?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Funny that people keep asking; the colorless blender is actually the name of a color of Copic marker! The number for it is 0 and you can find it anywhere that sells Copic markers.
Glad you liked the tutorial~

Awesome tut! Very detailed and helpful in terms of technique. Makes me want to get some copics even more now. XD
The picture is so pretty too!! T___T <333 Man, you've gotten good. *__*

Gotten good? @__@ I feel like I haven't improved at ALL. *cries*
Oh shit I have to finish that TophxAang for you~~ *gets cracking*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
(I just realized the way I said that might have sounded like I thought you weren't good at all before. XD;; That's not what I meant! T_T) Anyway.. When I look at your stuff now, it just seems like you're doing things a lot more naturally. Like, the way you draw faces. And you've definitely gotten a knack for your pretty coloring technique. ;o;
Don't worry about it. XD I still have to finish your YoruSoi. : x I have to hurry before you move too. @___@;;;;

It's very helpful 8J

Very nice and helpful..! I've never really worked with copics much, since I don't actually own any. XP But sometimes I get a chance to dabble with a friend's and this is very intriguing! I'm particularly interested in how you use the blender, since generally I had no idea what I was doing when I messed with it. Thankyou for your wonderful tutorial! It looks great!

Oh crap, lmfao forgot to fave xDxD

It makes me want markers I cant afford ;w;
But it was a very helpful tutorial, and one day when I ever/ if I ever get markers to color with, Ill remeber what I learned here
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Thats a great tutorial, I had no idea the blender went underneath the colour. I always tried using it to smudge things like a stump or something.

very interesting read here XD maybe when i ever get alcohol markers, i will try out this tutorial - sounds like a lot of fun since i've never tried them before. you think its all worthwhile?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
If you think you'll be using them more than once, then I say go for it if you have the funds! Otherwise it's a waste of money cos damn, the markers are expensive! ToT
I personally think it's lots of fun, so if you want my opinion: it's yes, do try it out. :'D
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks for your input in this!!
I'm still considering it... but I'll probably just get them when I get better XD
