Description //EDIT 2: Oh Wow! That was so unexpected, thanks so much to ^Elandria for the DD!!

//EDIT: I usually hate making edits in artist's comments because they look werid in my opinion but in this case... I really need to thank you all for making this so unexpectedly popular!
Thank you freaks, you rock!
Oh, and I also fixed some spellng mistakes. :] //EDIT END



It's a really big file so I recomment having some patience.

Since I've been asked around 759 times how I make my coloring look like the way it is, how I use alcohol and how I combine markers with colored pencils etc. etc. I decided to sit down for fucking eight hours and do this goddamn tutorial, because I love you guys β™₯ and I want to help you improving.
I know pictures are nice but also please fucking READ IT!
thanks.

So this is the process of this drawing/painting including tips and the usage of the many differnt tools I'm working with.
Oh and I couldn't differnt but being a little sarcastic and trying to put a few jokes here and there.

If you have any questions or suggestions about anything, feel free to ask me!


And no, these markers aren't mine, as well as the colored pencils. Google is your friend.

Hm, you might have seen the drawing I used for the tutorial itself since I finished this one on November 26th, or otherwise it could be possible we're living in different timelines.
Anyway, thank you very much!

This is a wonderful tutorial!
I just wanted to say that unlike a lot of tutorials I have read, this one has really inspired me. Even though drawing is no longer my medium I can go and do my best to be a good artist! Plus this tutorial will help me in my medium as well!

Thanks very much! This is very helpful.

I wonder, though. Can you get Ethanol just at an art store?
