This is very nice and helpful. :3 I have one question though! You use little to no line weight. Is this your personal preference? Or, because the thicker lines will bleed with the copics. Or some other reason? x)Just wondering.

A personal preference that developed out of a dislike for smudged lines actually. I just started using these Prismacolor multiliners recently, so I'm not sure if these bleed, but the other brand of black multiliners I usually use for inking will smudge with the alcohol in the markers if I double up on lines and add more wight. Over the years I've just grown accustomed to not using line weight in pictures because of this. Bad habit, really.

Yeah, I had the same problem. I've been adding the line weight after I've inked the drawing, and the result is really pleasing. I'm not trying to tell you how to draw or anything lol!! Don't get me wrong. I love this.
I just thought I'd share a little tip with you.
Wish someone would have told me earlier. x) I've ruined a bunch of drawings cause the ink bleed haha.

This was a very nice tutorial. I have one question, (but it doesnt have to do with markers..
) how did you do the writing with the white outline? Is it a certain brush? Or did trace around your words with white? I really appreciate the help. Have a great day..

Oh that's really easy if you have Photoshop (which is what I used to compile the tutorial). Under the Layers tab, there is a section called layer style, and one of the effects listed under that is called 'stroke', this effect allows you to create an outline of adjustable thickness around everything in a particular layer. For this, I just wrote everything and then used that effect on all the layers. I don't know how to do it in any other program, but I'm sure there's similar effects.

Very helpful. It was interesting seeing you use the colored mutiliners and how they give it the effect of no lines.
