Usually at any good art store. Go there and ask the people there, they'll surely know what you mean. ^^

I can't say I've ever seen a successful and simple tutorial on using mixed traditional media like this before, especially mentioning highlights.
Thank you very much, I'm going to go pull out my pencils now

Jetzt wo ich wieder mit Realmedia arbeiten wollte kommt dieses Tutorial gerade recht! Vielen Dank hierfür!
Ich habe mir vor längerem mal Copicpapier zugelegt. Ist es eigentlich das gleiche wir Bristol?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ich glaube nicht, es fühlt sich zwar ähnlich an von der Oberfläche her, aber Bristol ist wesentlich stärker. Reines Marker-Papier (zumindest das was ich bisher immer hatte) ist sehr dünn, fast wie Butterbrotpapier.

Dann müsste ich mich nochmal auf die Suche begeben, ich habe nämlich nur dieses extrem dünne Marker-Papier. Danke für's Aufklären

won't the paper break after so much marker coloring? 3:
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Not if you're using the right kind of paper.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
and that would be?
(sorry, I'm just really curious X3 )
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
As written in the tutorial - either special marker paper or Bristol with a smooth surface.

Thats really helpful, thanks!
I never knew you could do it that way.

This is awesome! Very helpful tut! Thank you so much for posting this! And I always wondered how people got their traditional drawings to look so cool, while mine were so bad...

I had wondered how some artists blended markers and col. pencils together. Nice tut

Hiya Schnolf! (I think I am a "wolfox" or something... my alter-ego, Asbowlyn, is half wolf and half fox)
I realize that you probably don't have time to read the bazillions of comments you get, but I have to give you a ginormous "thank you" for taking the time to put together a tutorial to go along with this piece.
As a new artist, I am constantly being told "no, you don't need to go out and buy super-expensive materials; just use a pencil and paper". But I feel that as a new artist, one of the most important things I can do for myself is to explore the different mediums and techniques, what supplies are available to me, and how they produce different results. I would like to be good not only at drawing, but at choosing the best medium and tools for the job!
I want to thank you in particular for showing the exact supplies you have put to use - knowing that your stuff doesn't differ that much from the stuff I am using (you are not using a magically-imbued set of colored pencils, correct? 
Watching my favorite artists post tutorials of their work makes me so happy, as it turns my feelings from "whoa, impossible!" to "wow, I would like to try something like that!"
It also makes me happy to see what a kind and considerate person you are!
*happy hugs*

would water resistant be the same as water proof in this case?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmm, I am not sure if I've heard about water resistant pens so far. I'd suggest to try it out - smudge some water over the lines and see what happens.

This is gonna be really helpful to me

Informative tutorial is informative!
Mir gefällt's gut, ich find's sehr hilfreich, nur bringt einen das mal wieder dazu, Lust auf einen Copiceinkauf zu verspüren... aber die sind doch so teuer!
Wie mir schon bei einem Gespräch mit Dragony auf der MMC auffiel - eigentlich müßte man die Einnahmen aus Commissions wirklich getrennt vom "normalen Geld" aufbewahren, sodaß man solche Investitionen aus dem Pott finanzieren kann...
Na, wie auch immer,
Jojo

Ja, ich schau auch dass ich viele Investitionen (neues Papier, Stifte, Passepartouts, usw.) immer gleich nach ner Con (Art Show) mache...

For some reason, im not recieving your art in my inbox, and i watch you. I wonder why??
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I have no idea... maybe some DA bug? (I still notice quite a few of them)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Aww man..
I was wondering why i didn't see art from you, because you usually draw every two or three days or so. Its been happening to other artists too.

Is there a Substitute for the copic markers? how do they work different to other markers?
ps. This tutoial is Amazing!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I've only worked with Copics so far, so I can't really tell where are the differences. One time I tried the local marker brand of an Art Store in SFO [link] because I didn't had my Copics with me, they were OK, but the colors were definitively different from Copics (and the pen tips where too big). Many people also use Prisma Markers.
