F.A.Q. Hope you like it
Mistakes I saw too late:
I wrote "grey" wrong... WTH. Three times! WHY?
Somewhere I wrote techniques wrong.
EDIT: OK thank you, some of you told me that both spellings gray and grey are right. XD THANKS <3

Sorry people! >.< This time I just don't manage to answer all comments ;3; I'd love to but there are too many of them! I read every single comment and appreciate it!

I think that wouldn't make that much sense since every country has got other stores >.< I'd recommend to search on amazon

MOST USEFUL OVERALL COLORING TUT I'VE EVER SEEN.
and because I suck at coloring, i've seen a lot (too many, in fact...)
I don't even do trad. art! But these techniques can be used for digital work as well!!
Yay for shoujo sparkles

This might be a stupid question, but.. why do you use marker paper for coloured pencils?
There are many types of paper that go better with coloured pencils because of the rough quality. I think marker paper is too smooth (and expensive) to use with coloured pencils.
If you have trouble seeing through other kinds of paper (when you transfer the lineart), I can recommend a light box to use underneath

I use Copic Marker paper because to me it's the easiest way to draw lines without something like a light box (which is too expensive for me). I did never say everybody has to use this, it's just what I use 
And the paper has got a fine structure and I like it x3 Thanks for the tip anyway ^^

A light box is actually quite easy making yourself. My dad made me one. It works fine
You can buy a type of paper with the same silky smooth surface as Copic paper. It's rather thick though so you wouldn't be able to look through it

This is very helpful, it's interesting to look at the process artists use to color.
I have a few questions, but most of them are just little unimportant questions, so I'm just going to ask what's been nagging at me.
Do you only use the marker paper because it's easy to see through, or do you also use it because of how the color pencils work on top of it? I have a book of marker paper but it's not copic
I've actually never tried using colored pencils on it (mostly because I've been trying to get better with what markers I have before reintroducing pencils into my work)

As you can see color pencils work on this paper, I wouldn't use it either way XD To me, I found the perfect paper and I wanted to share this. Nobody has to use it if they don't want to x3
You can use any marker paper I guess, I got used to Copic Marker paper
Hope I could answer your questions! x3 Thanks a lot for the comment, I'm glad it helps!

I wonder these techniques would work with Crayola pencils....

That's help me much~~
Btw I have a question. What do you do to make you're picture so pretty colors? I mean scanner always messed up them so...what do you do to make them so awesome?
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh er... I don't know @.@.... Probably your scanner isn't that good? Then you could try to edit the colors with photoshop afterwards. I hope I understood what you mean.
Thanks for the comment!

This sounds really silly, but where I always got snagged up is the beginning where I would use the first drawing to colour in with the pencil. That resulted in some dark and often messy areas becasue of the buildup of graphite I had from the pencil lead. So I was wondering if I had to retrace my sketch.
Thank you for showing a very quick and easy way to do that. And the colouring part was also very helpful. I can now try to keep my layers neater.
Thank you so much.

You don't need to buy Copic paper, it was just a tip (since I use it! x3) you can try it on any paper you like.
Thanks a lot <3

Yeah, but my sketchbook is stupid (I hate the paper they have in sketchbooks! It's too rough). Does it come in loose papers, or in a pad?
Besides, I'm always looking for an excuse to go art supply shopping!

In a pad :3 I think (If I understood you right :3) It's a block <3
