Description The title should better be Copic Markers and Colored Pencils Tutorial but it was too long. xD

My very first tutorial everyone.
It shows how I color most of my drawings, if I'm not using watercolor.
Examples:
[link]
[link]
[link]
[link]
[link]

This is the picture I did the tutorial with: [link]

I hope this will be helpful and I didn't make too many grammatical mistakes (english, you know... ).
And forgive me that I wrote so much! Will even anyone read all of it? xD

Tell me what you think about it, and ask me if you have any questions.

EDIT: Jetzt auch auf deutsch. [link]

That means I'll probably be able to do it in 5-6 hours then. I think I can do that..... I just don't want it to take days

Not to be noobish.. but what is a light box? That little bit confuses me...

For example: [link] (mine looks different, because it was build by my parents, but it's basically that)
It's just a flat box with a glass on top, where light shines through. If you put sheets of paper on it, you can see through them, because of the light from below. :]

Wow, I've never seen this technique before, it makes everything look so wonderful and polished. What light colours of copics would you recommend for skin tones???

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Loonaki In reply to 13roses [2011-02-13 18:41:41 +0000 UTC]

Depends on the skin tone you want to create, I'd say. For a light white skin (which I draw most, because it's the easiest for me) I like to use Skin White (E00), Milky White (E51), and Bareley Beige (E11) or Brick Beige (E31). I'm not very familiar with darker skin, so I can't recommend anything for that. Sorry! (Man... I should practise that. >_<) Hope that helped anyways. :]

very helpful! I doubt I have any copic markers or GOOD colored pencils but I tried out the technique and it worked out much better then I could ever have done alone

Thanks sooo much for making this!!! I'm completely lost when it comes to adding color, I work mostly with grayscales and anything that can't be captured with a #2 pencil I'm clueless about. This makes it much easier! Thankz~

It's gorgeous. Can you tell me where you get your markers, and are they really expensive? The ones use are a bit cheap, you know? he wnd drawing looks great- and no, your grammar is perfect.

Loonaki In reply to BeanyHatGirl [2011-01-10 18:33:35 +0000 UTC]

Wow awesome! Thanks for telling me about the grammar thing, I'm never sure about my english! xD
Well, I buy them in local art stores, and since I'm from Germany, I really don't know where to buy them anywhere else. I'm sure you can on the internet somewhere, just google them. They're pretty expensive, but totally worth the price. The ones I prefer to use, Copic Ciao (with the brush tip), are about 4€ each. But they're refillable and therefore pretty longlasting.

Thanks.

It's really useful, especially for the clothes shading (:
You think of so much little details that I would never have thought about, that's amazing
By the way, is it watercolor pencils? Or do you use regular pencils?

Loonaki In reply to 3lda [2010-12-29 16:07:43 +0000 UTC]

I use regular ones, but they're very soft.

Well done (:

Very interesting, how you work & it's a relief, that I'm not the only one who's "strange" @washing hands xD I love how you draw hair 'cause my hair-style is similar meanwhile ^^ (yeah, I've to upload more stuff xP) I like it, when hair looks really hairy & not so affectedly (: (Like I did it during my last paintings *roll eyes*) And I've a penchant for your eyes-style (*_________*) They always look so spirited :3

best regards, SeresaKunheo

btw: yeah, I know - i could write in german, but i prefer to write in english, here. hope that's okay for you. otherwise we can write on animexx in german xDD

No problem at all. xD Since I write more and more here, german and english are getting mixed up in my head anyways. xD It's horrible. Sometimes I have to even say things in english, 'cause I don't remember them in german. xD
I love to wash my hands. *_* I'm obsessed with it.

this is a great tutorial and your drawings definetly come out looking so great although im kinda out of luck cuz i dont have copics at all and im barely starting to full on get into using materials to draw with. lol but i will save this

Loonaki In reply to GuitarLuv [2010-12-28 13:20:55 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! But if you decide to buy Copics, I'd suggest to take light colors. They can be used in much more ways than dark ones. Just as a tip.

GuitarLuv In reply to Loonaki [2010-12-28 21:28:59 +0000 UTC]

thanks for the tip that sounds like a good idea too my friend uses copics so im used to watching her all the time when she uses them.
