Description
NO PHOTOSHOP NEEDED!
Hopefully people who use markers may find this of some help. It takes practice to get markers to work well in your favour, although even the best of us will get marker ink bleeding over our inking lines a little.
I put this tutorial together to show you how I tidy up minor bleeds in my marker peices without taking it into photoshop. True, you can use a computer program to tidy up the scan but...I happen to like the original to look nice and clean as well, and want to rely on the computer as little as possible (some people don't even have programs like photoshop, which makes things even harder for them).
PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE ASKING ME ABOUT THE GEL PEN: I REALLY can't help you out on where to buy them, as I don't live in America/UK/Australia ect, and I don't know of online sites either. All I can tell you is that I like to use the brand of Gel Pen called 'Hybrid', if you want to use that kind, you need to research where to find it yourself. :3
EDIT: The webpage changed their layout, in any case, there are some white gel pens that can be bought here: [link]

I do indeed. ^^ Whitcolls has them too, but they're cheaper at warehouse (and usually have more in stock too) XDD

I have a question for you, what do you use for your lineart? I've tried marker lines, and inking pen ones, but when ever I use my markers to colour within those lines, they tend to bleed together ;__;
*needs to go and buy a gel pen*
hmm.. whitcoulls should have some right?

Whitcolls and Warehouse Stationary both stock hybrid Gel pens (obviously, Warehouse is cheaper! XD) Whitcols also stocks 'Mitsubishi Uni Pin' inking pens. That's the one in the photo beside the Gel Pen. I use those and once dry, they don't bleed with the markers.
I also use Sakura Microns and Copic MultiLiners, but they're not sold in NZ, from what I know, I get them in HK.

hmmm.. I wonder if the drawing room has those sakura microns....
I don't know if there is a store in Auck, but they have copics in CHCH
