[BieberFever19061]

[pskwolf]

[AppleSaysNo]

Shit!! Thats hella good!

[ayayurihinata]

Why do you use q-tips? Just wondering..

[aishasyri]

wow thats amazing

[iraneesz]

OMG!!!! you are a beautifull human being! (L)

[FaireXIII]

Amazing. She has so much understanding of coloring, perspective, light, etc etc XD

[Arsagard]

Are you a fashion designer?

[sweets683]

what pens do you use?

[algelyn26]

what coloring materials dis she use there??..what is the brand of those coloring materials???can somebody out there tell me..i need to know that badly

[FelixGA9]

@algelyn26

she pretty much uses copic markers, qtips, prismacolor pencils. and the bottles you see once in a while are just refill bottles for the copic markers.

[algelyn26]

so copic markers is the brand of the marker that she used in her video?

[teammidgard]

what the name of the song in the background??

[riatixic]

JAW DROPPING!!!!! Take you for the technique!!!! this will help me --- I will go(hopefully) to a fashion school

[yyyartstaryyy]

Sometimes when putting a marker right onto the paper it can bleed slightly, which I found happens with certain prisma color markers and the chartpak markers always bleed on the paper required to use at Parsons for fashion drawing. I was looking up a better way to render flesh tones since I don't really prefer the method taught in class, this is great, thank you!

[Rizzlefritz]

it seems like a lot of ink is wasted when using the q-tip instead of just using an actual copic marker...

[Khanhage69]

Great technique and style.

[saltpepper27]

i dont understand how the copic+q-tip work, could anyone explain exactly what you need to do with the copic marker? do you just remove the nib??

[Shinozka]

@saltpepper27 From what I know, she just dabbed the Copic Markers onto the Q-Tip. I think because this way the Q-Tip absorbs little bit and this creates the soft effect. Sort of like watercolour.

[saltpepper27]

@Shinozka ok thanks!

[FelixGA9]

@saltpepper27

she loads the qtip from a refill bottle of the marker color. you can buy refill bottles for copic markers. thats what she uses to load the qtip up

[kutedymples]

I just found your videos this evening and this is the first one I have watched so far. I am subscribing so I can easily come back and view your others. You have such an interesting and professional style. Combining the mediums is very interesting to me. Such a wonderful results. Thanks for sharing. I mainly do digital at this time but just bought prismacolor colored pencils and am learning that, also do painting on canvas with acrylics. 

[gigantard]

copic sketch markers : light suntan, dark suntan

@ WONDAWOMAN : it's not guache first, she just put the ink of the copic marker on a qtip to fill the body shape in order to do the base sin tone before shading it with an other copic marker :)

[WONDAWOMAN]

Thanks..my bad ;p

[8bitbreakfast]

would be better if the colors used were mentioned

[ameliecf]

What is the name of her book?

[WONDAWOMAN]

wow! I never thought to use a q-tip for skin!!

[imjustsamantha]

stylish vamp, my guess is bienfang

[GottaLoveTheCritics]

DAMN DAMN DAMN GOOD JOB!!!!!!

[StylishVamp]

Great job!!

but I wanna u r coloring on know what type of paper????

please I need fast reply

[WONDAWOMAN]

If you are going to use quache or watercolors, you want to use watercolor paper . there is a type that does not have deep holes in it. for markers, you want to go w/ something smooth that will not absorb all your ink, like...the paper they use in Color Copy machines.

[Shii0Shii]

did..

she just use a qtip?

@__@

[meatflavour3]

2:14 is that whiteout shes using to bring the light back in?

[qiput]

gouache

[darkindra]

she probably started with a light suntan marker first, then a dark suntan, and then using dark suntan again over the shadows. for the darks of the hair, i think she probably used cashew and walnut..... i think

[WONDAWOMAN]

she started with guache first, then went over the 1st layer of quache with marker for the definition.

[Bigfootarts94]

wrong... she use copic ink... then went over it with a copic marker, you shouldend be leaving comments like that if you dont know what your talking about.

[WONDAWOMAN]

Ohhh, and you have never been wrong about anything in life ever have you? That justifies you getting so uppity about me "not knowing what I am talking about"? GET REAL! this is YOUTUBE and you got offended because I was WRONG ABOUT A DAMNED MARKER!!!???

GET A LIFE!~ and since we KNOW you have been wrong plenty of times, you being HUMAN ( I suppose unless you are an animal with superb typing skills) YOU have made mistakes too, so get off of your throne AND out of of my hair over SOME MARKERS!!

[Bigfootarts94]

wow... and you said im getting mad... loser. you shouldent be useing CAPITAL LETTERS.

[Bigfootarts94]

wo you are mad... lol.. i didnt even get mad , your just wrong you weirdo

[Bigfootarts94]

[NorthwesternerGuy]

[foyskitsa]

great!if u could only tell us what u use!is this a typical market and the one that u first use for the skin color what is named?

[sweetaliena]

copic makers they're very expensive!

[WONDAWOMAN]

you can get markers at the art store for $2- $3 a piece or the whole set for more. Prismacolor or Design2 art markers.

[jeffreestarrules]

This is fantastic, but what is she using to colour it in? I'm sorry if it's a stupid question it's just that i'm new to this lol

[tiltyaheadbak4]

HOLY FLIPPIN JESUS!!! you're tips are what i need! im takin AP studio art at my high school and i've been having some difficulty with things and you're so helpful!

[WONDAWOMAN]

Indeed, he is HOLY!! (SMILE)

[hesomagari1019]

My 11 year old has a lot of drawing talent and wants to be a fashion designer one day. Your awesome videos really inspire her and prod her towait develop her skills even further. She subscribed to you already. Thank you so much!!!

[cocoa89]

cool!!!

[lesoursamie]

amazing!

[cocotube27]

omg, this is too good

[THEn00b557]

wow, this is really really excellent talent I like that tool she used in the beginning... don't really know how it works though

[mugenbluewassy]

Wonderful!

[vinshim115]

ur talent exceeds any of the people i've actually seen rendering... its magnificent... i wish u could be my teacher... ur strokes have so much fluidity but u manage to create a balance on applying the solid colors w/o much error or if there are any they aren't even visible or noticeable due to the work itself... i love the way u render ms xxxqwertxxx... :)

[madmacpa755]

your character has a strong butt

[MzxFabulous]

did u use da original copic markers to color in da skin using a q-tip, just wandering.

[neplix3chic]

WOOW....

[axlmega]

ok i have a question - when you use that q-tip,

does the sound and feeling of it messes with you or are you using a certain kind of paper

[odysseimfg]

pretty positive shes using marker paper..if so you dont hear or feel anything, its like silk when applying ink to it

[ewsunshinelover]

Ugh! You're fantastic.

[Mokurentate]

You're really good! You give me a reason to use Copic! XD lol

[lpgrl4life]

that was soo good! i heart heeeerr! :D

[kittyprettysweety]

l love the way u do it

[dragonhead00]

Your skin tone technique is much different than mine, but interesting. I love the use of the swab and the marker. Excellent!
