I have been working on this tutorial for the last 4 weeks, I think; on and off. Phew, and I am really happy that I managed to finish it.
It took me some time to compile it all.I wanted to have it done much earlier but I couldn't for various reasons. Now I can work on some other stuff again. ^^
You can download the tutorial if you want. I hope it's helpful and I didn't talk any gibberish.
Be careful though, the filesize is huge! ^^Β°
Feedback is always appreciated! ^^

I'm still learning how to use copic markers and I have a lot of trouble with warmer and darker skin tones -- so I thank you greatly for this tutorial.

Yeah well, I don't particularly feel like staring at naked women, especially considering DA was pretty rough on me when I had a link to a picture of boys kissing.

Excellent! Your technique is exquisite! Thank you for sharing and especially for showing how you airbrushed the sky.

You are very welcome. I really appreciated the attention you gave to the technical details that are very important for successfully coloring with copics and often are left out of tutorials.

I would try this...If I actually had copic markers. Or any type of marker, really. Photoshop will have to do for now.

You can do amazing stuff with Photoshop too.

Haha, sadly, that learning process is taking much longer than expected!

Is it ok if I ask what kind of frisket you used? Is it like the ones for watercolor or different? If different, what brand did you buy xD?

Every time I see a copic marker tutorial I want to buy them.. but they are so expensive 
π: 0 β©: 3
Thank you very much. ^^ There are some cheaper Copic markers around called "Copic ciao". Maybe you have some luck with them. They have the same nibs like the Copic sketch (broad nib and brush), but are cheaper because they don't hold as much ink. You can also get them in sets, which makes them great for beginners.

OkΓ© I'll look out for them

Oh, Netherlands... I know a good shop in Germany which sells Copic markers over the internet as well, and they have got the best prices for Copics I've ever seen. I frequently buy there.
The shipping isn't the cheapest (outside of Germany), though if you buy a bunch, you might be well off. Let me know if that sounds alright for you.

Sounds interesting, maybe you would like to give me the adress? Don't know if I'll buy anything right away though, but who knows, might get in handy!

Sure thing. ^^ Here's the [link] . I hope that helps you.

cool thank you very much ^^

you can totally achieve the same effects with cheaper markers, so I wouldn't worry. I know the copic sketch markers have that -enticing- brush tip but you can develop techniques to achieve the same effect with others, it's all about practise. 
Also, I'm preparing for people to angrily disagree with me on this but tbh, quality should have nothing to do with how expensive art materials are. I'd say it's rather how you use them...
π: 0 β©: 2
hehe you're probably right xD However what should I buy then? Usually I wait untill I have a lot of money and then buy the best, because I always want quality..
π: 0 β©: 1
Hmm well it is up to you if you want copics or not, if you think you wouldn't be happy unless you have the best ones then probably save up for those. I have prismacolor markers and they are really good. Still fairly expensive but nowhere near as much as copics. There are also other kinds, like tria or letraset... like I said, I think a drawing's quality has more to do with the person drawing than what they are using.

In the end that's of course what it's all about, someone's drawing skills and technique.. But I don't like the idea of buying something to find out I still want the better ones if you see what I mean.. I don't know.. I'll see for now, keep it at digital art for now. Next year I'll start the study industrial design and I'll be drawing a lot there, I'll see what I will need there, but thanks for your advice so far!

unless of course you're trying to draw with like, 99p store colouring pencils.... then I'd say fork out a BIT more money xD

Wow amazing job!!, I didn't think it was that long, it was very well detailed though which is much appreciated.
