after looking at one of the comments already posted, you said you put down color very quickly so that it doesn't dry...
is that how you get it so incredibly smooth looking? I liked your tutorial, but I was still in the dark about how you made it like that...
I'm a sucker for gradually shading things, but when I tried with the copics, it did the usual marker thing to do, which is make lines all of the place ~.~ it was frustrating, didn't turn out bad, but not smooth...
so I was curious as to know if that was your only secret, coloring fast XDDD
thanks for your time
(your art is amaziiiing XD had to add that)

Wonderful tutorial, especially with the details of the hair.
I have two questions, though; what do you use to make your lineart? Pen, pencil, ect.? Your lines are so fine and fade well, like on the mouth for example, that it looks like pencil, but I couldn't be sure.
My other question is what kind of paper do you copy your lineart onto? Just normal printer paper, or drawing paper?

Super tut... your are so talented!
What for colors you used for the skin *-*?
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Omg I love you! ;_; for making the tutorial of course XD;; X3
Oh, and whilst I'm commenting for a change I want to appologise for not doing so on previous stuff. Because I know how annoying it is when people fave without commenting or comment on your userpage but not the work itself
So yeah, sorry again!

How do you avoid getting those "marker lines"? You know, how if you drag the same colour over the same place twice, it makes that spot darker even though you just want a block of flat colour?
I've tried using markers before, but I gave up because I couldn't get the colours to be smooth.
Also, do you use both tips for the skin, or just the hard one?

What colors do you use to make tan or darker skin?

the process is actually fairly interesting o_O
but maybe I'll leave it to if I ever improve

Thank you so much for making this... If only I could afford enough copic markers to make my work have this depth...I rely on watercolor pencils to help me instead...
Your art is so beautiful and inspirational!

You say to colour on a copy of your lineart, but I have yet to manage to get a good copy of any of my lineart. How do you do it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I have one question:
Do you use the blending marker at all when you color? It looks almost impossible to get the same kind of effect on the skin if you just put down the colors. o.o
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
no, I dont really like the blender marker
The trick is to aply the color down fast so that it doesent dry
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Mmmm...I see. Well unfortunately for me, I don't have copic markers (too poor for those...>>; ), but I do have Prisma markers. Would your process of coloring be similar for that brand?
Thanks, by the way. I've been thinking for a while now that markers only look good if you can use the blend tool.

Awesome your such a great artist glad you share your ways

O.O SO THAT'S HOW YOU DO IT! I see I see... *nods*
Not that I'll ever get some markers to try xD Too expensive for me to get xP

I'm going to try out your technique right after I finish making my lineart!

Another question came up checking out the copicmarker page... (no answer on the FAQ there, either.) If they are so expensive, how long does it last until you need to refill it? In pictures.

Thanks a lot for sharing! I always thought you were coloring on the computer because it looks so perfect.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Ooh. <3. Perfect.
It's a shame I can't afford copics, they'd be interesting to work in...
Well, if I ever acually get around to spending a few hundred for a set of markers, I'll have to try this out.
You're an exelent artist- thanks for sharing your little secrets with us.

But you make is sound so easy...this sounds almost exactly how I do watercolouring. Maybe it's not as hard as I thought. But how do you do the markers without it getting like, streaky?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The trick is to color fast ^ - ^
When you color fast it will dry without streaks.

omigosh! this is exactly what i need! thankew thankew thankeeeew~! XD *squeals* this is wonderful! *_* damn, you are AWESOME! XD thanks so much for sharing this with us ^_^. i have a few questions though. how do you blend the colors so smoothly? whenever i try to color it, the ink always seems to spread out on the paper (which really frustrates me to no end, honestly). does it have anything to do with the technique you use or the paper you use? when you say duplication of lineart, do you mean gettting another copy as in printing or photocopying a scanned picture you've done? or is it something else? i'd appreciate it if you would answer my questions. thank you! ^_^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm glad my tutorial helped!
The way I color is really fast applying the ink in strokes so that it doesn't dry on the paper and can blend. And by making a copy of the line art I mean photocopying or printing an already scanned line art

But wouldn't copier paper be too thin for the ink?
