Description
WTFudge. Is there no preview image upload on DA submission anymore? DX Anyone know? Thanks.----
Finished work: [link]
THIS IS NOT A TUTORIAL!!!!!!! I did not take enough photos to make one haha. Which is why I'll probably never make a coloring tutorial (i get too into the process i forget to screencap them). Also I am no expert with this media. I rarely touch them. So yea, I just thought the process from scratch to finish was neat and liked to share.
Enjoy~!

Haha. I like watercolor too :3 They're just more harder to control...or is it copic that's harder...traditional are hard T_T

copic are harder.. coz they're drying quicker than watercolor XD
and the quality of the paper should need more attention too
besides... copic are more expensive here, in my country hahaha

Not sure if anyone has told you or not (don't fell like reading everyone else's messages) but they don't use the preview button anymore. From what I heard (read: read) people were abusing them so once they updated the system, they got rid of the preview option.
I think my favorite way to mix media is with tempura and color pencil. Tempura words great as a base color(s). But the best media of all time is oil pastel. Which I haven't done in awhile now that I think of it...
But yes, this is a wonderful picture. Its really soft looking. I probably should go check out the actual picture, shouldn't I? *goes off*

aww that sucks XD;; no more preview abuse T3T
tempura? you mean tempera and not that japanese vegetables batter in oil thing, right? XD;; *now i'm craving for some tempura..*
sounds interesting~ i just hate how messy traditional medias get so i don't want to touch them haha XD;;

I mean the paint. I kant speel rite at al. Its a gifft adn crse. XD
The thing that annoys me is the clean up. Which is why I haven't done any traditional in awhile. But I plan to do something this evening. I miss it.

Its nice drawing, and thecoloring job is pretty good
i see the CG work you do is rubbing off in other medias
Here comes the annoying question
but I am curious to know.
The copic multiliner sepia you used, was it used
to be a second draft of the lines you had or to be
the final inking?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
