the pieced used in this tut is located here [link]

this took forever! i hope its detailed enough!
it was much requested

I am self taught by the way, so dont go off on how " thats now how I was taught" kinda things, because its the end result that matters.

since Letraset bombed thier tria markers I no longer use them. I'm nearly 100% copic now.
the tutorial still applies to all of them

pretty cool, do you recommend Β any brand of marker or any brand is fine?

Marker-Guru In reply to MagicBlades [2014-06-03 06:28:44 +0000 UTC]

Copic is the best if you want a really blendy look as it's got a better ink for blending and the handy brush nib. if you're just going for a graphic style with no blending almost any alcohol marker will do.

What kind of markers are you using? I tried searching on the net. But didn't really find anything.

Marker-Guru In reply to Robin-Huzell [2010-04-06 13:01:32 +0000 UTC]

In this one it lists which ones I used in the top box, it was mainly Tria and Copics, but I also use promarker, prismacolour, and touch markers.

Robin-Huzell In reply to Marker-Guru [2010-04-06 13:19:21 +0000 UTC]

Is it possible you know any internet pages with them?

Marker-Guru In reply to Robin-Huzell [2010-04-07 00:07:02 +0000 UTC]

[link]
pro markers and trias
[link]
[link] touch markers

those are the official websites.
If you're in Canada [link] has the best shopping for markers. best prices and all that. They sell prismacolour and Copic

If you're in the states or overseas.

There's so many details, this tutorial helped me a lot.

The white font almost killed my eyes though, although that may be because I didn't download it.

I'd fav this more than once, but that's not possible.

I had no idea markers could be layered like the technique you used for the background. That's really amazing! This tutorial is very well-done. How thoughtful of you to share your tips and tricks! Thanks!

This is a very nice tutorial, and I like that you suggested to do it your own way. I hate it when tutorials get to specific, or detailed.

superpower-pnut [2008-07-15 04:46:44 +0000 UTC]

it's interesting that you colored the whole bg in pink to start. I( would never have thought of that. I don't suppose these techniques would work wih Crayola? <

Marker-Guru In reply to superpower-pnut [2008-07-15 04:53:32 +0000 UTC]

Crayola markers you mean?
They are a water based marker, and i havent used water based much, but with experimentation, i'm sure a similar effect could be achieved. They dont tend to get as smooth as alcohol based markers.

superpower-pnut In reply to Marker-Guru [2008-07-16 01:22:34 +0000 UTC]

oh, I wondered what made copics different. I imagine the bleed time is shorter in Crayola. However, since Copics here are listed at $5 ea, I'll practice your technique with cheap-O crays till I feel more comfortable. Thanks for the reply! appreciate it!

Osa-Art-Farm [2007-10-22 07:32:08 +0000 UTC]

Markers are scary! I am the eraser queen. When I get up th nerve to use one, I want the finest line possible so if I make a mistake it's not so obvious. I also, on occasion, need to sign some very small artworks. I have found a micron 005. Do you know if that's the smallest tip available?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Marker-Guru In reply to Osa-Art-Farm [2007-10-22 18:34:23 +0000 UTC]

I am pretty sure thats the smallest in pens.

amazing tutorial jay! *sobs* just need myself some markers..... then obviously try them out.... then use the tutorial XD

anywoo, its good that you are self taught; means you get straight into your own style and preference, deciding for yourself how you want to do it rather then conforming to someone elses expectations.
