Happy Easter everyone and more importantly, Happy Spring!

That springy feeling suddenly hit me (with an oily complextion at that, damn weather XP ) and I realized it wouldn't be quite spring without me picking up the markers and making one of my purple-haired elves. ^___^ Not quite sure why it would make it complete, it's kinda nostalgia or something. *shrug* Anywho, I was half expecting this to be a disaster, can't even remember the last time I inked something with pen and nib never mind the last time I pulled out the markers. @_@ Surprisingly, it's rather good if I do say so myself. The scanner naturally butchered it but even so, not bad enough that I want to go in and fix it digitally. I dunno... I think I was a little worried that I was getting too reliant on that little undo function, I've been doing digital for a long time now. It's refreshing to do something where mistakes can happen and there's nothing I can do about it, just keep on going-- Wai, and I've missed having that piece of paper to hold once I'm done! Sure I could always print my pics out of the computer but there's something nice about having the original where it all happened to look at. Like the paper itself holds the life of the picture. Not sure what to do with it though >_> I gave the other marker pics away to family members so it feels weird to keep this one.

Copic Sketch Markers, 6-8 hours
I need a bloody colorless blender! Seriously, this would have been so much easier with one.
