Coloring with Copic Markers Part 2 (Skin, hair)

[StudioVibe]

Ive been looking for pale tone colors (just ordered my first copics in a pile of 144) I tried using the lightest I had and they were still pretty tan...and the colors seemed muddy...

[NomNomNom247]

what pack of markers do you have? the 12 pack or the 36 pack or the wambow pack?

[LordMoufMouf]

@NomNomNom247 I bought all of my markers individually at local art stores. :)

[TheCurlieTop]

what did you use to draw this beautiful artwork? The ink doesn't blend into the copic as the pen i use does.

[LordMoufMouf]

@TheCurlieTop I use Copic Multiliners and Sakura Microns. You need to use specific pens that are designed to be used with markers and inks. You can also view my Markers for Beginners video on my channel. :)

[LordMoufMouf]

@wongkaryu725 They are Copic Sketch markers. :)

[LordMoufMouf]

@wongkaryu725 I exclusively use Copic Sketch markers.

@reginadotnet I find coloring in circles with copics to be horrifying. the tip is too flexi for me D:

I adore your coloring videos! The way you define muscle with brush strokes is inspiring, and they just add to the graceful flow of the piece. Thank you for sharing your techniques!

i find prismacolors more fun to use :)

lol I get excited everytime you use a marker I have. hehe. Hmm. When I do creature designs, the get both a more defined form, I use the colors first and ink later to assist in defining the form. But it as an exercise forces me to think of ways to solve color problems without the aid of a thick black line. I still use ink later though. :)

@TheCreationist1

That's a very good technique to use! I will oftentimes leave out extra ink lines to allow myself to build up the form with color. But most of my work can get pretty detailed and tiny, so I tend to ink first. :)

i love to draw wings and the whole time i was watching this, i couldn`t take my eyes off of those gorgeous wings, theyr so life-like, and substantial. ugg i cant get overthem, can you explain how you learned to draw your wings like that?

[LordMoufMouf]

@OneOfTheWolves Thank you!

I study off live birds - photographs mostly, but working off a dead one would be even better if I could find one. Working from life will always strengthen your drawing skills, and allow you to better stylize things.

What kind of paper do you use?

[LordMoufMouf]

@kittypon114

I use Borden and Riley Paris Bleedproof paper for Pens. It's always best to use a paper especially for markers and ink. :)
