[Loryata666]

what the hell is up with her nose? awesome hair though!!

[edalineeilynd]

@Loryata666 Thank you for letting me know your opinion.

[strawberrymilkmade]

Pretty hair & nice voice!!!

[edalineeilynd]

@strawberrymilkmade lol thanks :P

[ZerkUnitRS]

That's really good! Love the hair you done. I'm a beginner, did you just come up with the hair? or get reference?

[edalineeilynd]

@ZerkUnitRS Hi, thank you for the comment. That's how I usually draw hair, no reference. lol.

[MEWBANANAMEWBANANA]

@edalineeilynd Your welcome. I love your style!

[MEWBANANAMEWBANANA]

Soooooooooo pretty! Your an amazing artist!

[edalineeilynd]

@MEWBANANAMEWBANANA thanks :D

[MadomLovelyBird]

the nose is really uniqu dosent matter every one has a different point of veiw of drawing

[LTCJ2006]

I love the way the colors DON'T blend with the ink. Especially the yellow. Every time I color over my ink lines, the yellow mixes with the black and the color turns green... :-/ Makes my image look tacky... Lol.

[edalineeilynd]

@LTCJ2006 I think you need to use a different pen to ink. I had to test out a bunch of pens so I could color with markers over them. What pens do you use? For this drawing I used a Sakura Micron 05 in Sepia.

[LTCJ2006]

@edalineeilynd :-) Yes I agree, but since I am just now getting use to the art supplies and how to use them I didn't know that Micron brands are the best to use. Right now I use Pilot Precise V5 RT. I will definitely use Micron brand now since it looks good on your art. :-D Thanks!

[om7330]

DANG!! THATS A LONG FREAKIN NECK!! AND WHATS WITH HER NOSE??

[edalineeilynd]

@om7330 Thank you for letting me know your opinion. That's how I draw noses. As for the neck, I only realized the neck was too long once I finished inking, so it was too late to change it

[HollowZang]

The nose makes her look like a man...

[edalineeilynd]

@HollowZang Thank you for letting me know your opinion

[sweetberryontop]

Also, the neck is strangely extremely long

[edalineeilynd]

@sweetberryontop Yeah, I noticed it after I did the drawing. Whoops XD

[sweetberryontop]

I'm sorry to say this but the nose looks a bit odd to me

[28880]

fml

i have to get those markers.

[edalineeilynd]

@28880 You don't have to. You can use regular cheap markers to do the same thing. I didn't blend any of the colors at all, so you can use any type of markers

[hlwtsb]

@28880 Yeh I use my crayola markers, which took a while to master,but its so hard 'cause when I layer over 2 times black spots appear O_o

[EcilaCrown]

its the pic from before right? from when you show how to draw skin colour properly? =D

& i start thinking how funny it is that everyone hates the nose, but cant do it better themselves. I mean, I draw the nose differently, but that's only cuz i wouldn't know how to draw the nose you do either. It actually looks difficult to me. & I think the nose will be your biggest sign. Like the one other's will recognize your drawing with. Ain't that awesome? Everyone seems to notice it instantly =D

[edalineeilynd]

@EcilaCrown Yes, this is the same drawing from before. i just draw to draw, it's my style. it's like how everyone has different handwriting or fashion style or whatever. everyone's different.

[edalineeilynd]

@NinjaInc101 i think i love you! lol jk O_o; that sounded kinda creepy :P

[mswolfgirl19]

Wtf with all the nose comments?!!! Just back off ppl, thats just the way she draws! I happen to love the way she draws noses! At least she isnt afraid to draw the way she likes, unlike some of you!! D<

[edalineeilynd]

@mswolfgirl19 lol! thank you :) i'm glad someone agrees with me :)

[mswolfgirl19]

@edalineeilynd :D you're so welcome! I just lurvvv the way you draw noses~ :>

[edalineeilynd]

@mswolfgirl19 :P thanks! :) i'm glad someone likes them, other than me :)

[TheQueerGiraffe]

...Was the joke and the mouth a joke?

[edalineeilynd]

@TheQueerGiraffe I'm guessing you're asking about the nose and the mouth. Nope, they're not a joke. That's how I draw

[TheQueerGiraffe]

@edalineeilynd Oh well, it seems pretty creative to make a new type of nose anyway.

[briannalq]

it is awsome :3 ! (even the nose XD)

[edalineeilynd]

@briannalq :D Thanks!

[edalineeilynd]

@TheAnimeblondie thank you for giving me you honest opinion

[lalolacopy]

omg i love the hair gorgeous work except from the nose :/

[Nivalis01]

Yeah, you are, indeed, skilled with markers. But honestly, what`s with the nose!? :D And why is the neck so f´ing long? I know, we all have our own style, but that´s just wrong! xD You are good with colouring though, maybe you´ll learn someday :)

[parayoma]

whats wrong with the nose and where the lip? i dont get her face!!

[edalineeilynd]

@parayoma Thank you for letting me know your opinion

[namiwolflover14]

how many copic markers do u have

[edalineeilynd]

@namiwolflover14 I don't know? I have a lot of doubles, triples (for the ones I use the most because I can't get them anywhere near here)

[namiwolflover14]

@edalineeilynd i mean how many diffrent colors do you have

[edalineeilynd]

@namiwolflover14 i really don't know

[namiwolflover14]

@edalineeilynd lol wow then there must be alot

[Appeley2]

Yeah her nose is really ugly >.< but everything else is beautiful

[edalineeilynd]

@Appeley2 thank you for letting me know your opinion

[madmaddiemonkey]

That nose is giving me nightmares o.O'

[edalineeilynd]

@madmaddiemonkey thank you for letting me know your opinion

[madmaddiemonkey]

@edalineeilynd np but i luv da hair XD

[jasmin97luv]

It Would Of Been Better With out The Nose

[edalineeilynd]

@kinaristyledraw I'm guessing what you're saying is you don't like the nose. oh well, it's how i draw. but thank you for letting me know your opinion :)

[TotallyRandomFun]

you no what makes it so beautiful and unique...the nose.

it doesnt have to look beautiful or whatever...but if u guys dont like it then y dont u try and redraw that awesome ass shit!!!

[namiwolflover14]

@TotallyRandomFun i agree with u

[TotallyRandomFun]

@namiwolflover14 YEAH!

[LivLivJM]

i love how you use markers! i'm never good at leaving space for the highlight! i usually just color with copics then go back with my prisma colored pencil and add a white highlight! this was really helpful! THANKS! whats your opinion about the neopiko markers? are they worth buying??

[edalineeilynd]

@LivLivJM All you have to do is practice. I was never good at doing the hair highlights but I practiced for a LOOONG time :P Besides, everyone colors/draws differently.

As for Neopikos... If you asked me 10 years ago, I would say I prefer them to Copics (shocking, huh?) but since they've changed their formula... I can definitely say that if you want to try you should get them when they're on sale. Their ink is really really dry now. :(

[MsUreshii]

the only bad part of this drawing is the nose :P

[edalineeilynd]

@MsUreshii Thank you for telling me your opinion. It's my style, I don't draw like everyone else so it won't be unique.

[chicaanime11]

HAHAHA HER NOSE IS BAD DRAW BECAUSE IS MANGA NOT HUMAN DRAW SORRY MY ENGLISH IS BAD I KNOW I MEXICAN 11 YEARS OLD

[edalineeilynd]

@chicaanime11 hi thank you for your comment. this is my personal style and it's just how i draw noses. i don't want to draw like everyone else because if you do that then it's just boring

[creepy1100]

whats in the middle of her mouth O_o

[OnakiEmbialik]

That nose has gotta go....

[PS3UP]

Markers are Markers buy them at walmart. Is hard to color with them they dry quick if you over, it gets darker and darker you have to practice or know how to do it , before you destroy good drawings.

[edalineeilynd]

@PS3UP i use all types of markers from crayolas to copics. markers are a fun medium, i just prefer markers to anything else

[TheHouseofnightfan10]

I'm a huuuge fan of manga and i do it but im not as talented as most and i was wondering where you could buy that kind of marker ??

[edalineeilynd]

@TheHouseofnightfan10 the NEOPIKO markers I bought a LOOOONG time ago! (like 10 years ago) and the COPIC markers were bought an hour and a half away from where I live, but you can find them online. You just have to google. The Prismacolor markers were purchased at a local art store

[edalineeilynd]

@TheHouseofnightfan10 you should practice with cheap markers first. :) if not with markers, try out colored pencils. that's what I used before i used markers

[ROFLKitty34]

the only cisel tips i own are a few prismacolors, and they smell bad :(

[edalineeilynd]

oh! i know what you mean about the scent of markers! i hate prismas because of the strong scent. i also have a few regular copic markers (with chisel tips)

[ROFLKitty34]

typically i think a marker with a brush tip would be ideal, @AnimentalChan

[edalineeilynd]

definitely! but i use the chisel tip markers sometimes. but mostly, the brush tip ;)

[AnimentalChan]

are copic markers the best markers to use when coloring?

[edalineeilynd]

you use what you're most comfortable with. my fave markers are actually Staedtler Mars Graphic 3000 Duo Watercolor Brush Markers & Neopiko Markers.

[Girl4God2]

As an artist who uses markers myself, I would have to say yes, they totally are.

[kittypon114]

Those don't look like copics...

[edalineeilynd]

i mentioned in the side bar what markers I used. The first one is a NEOPIKO marker and the rest are Copic Sketch markers

[stay4ever0904]

oh sorry one more question what kind of paper do you use?

[edalineeilynd]

paper I used on this drawing is Strathmore Smooth Bristol 9" x 12". I think it's better to use paper especially for markers so it doesn't suck up all your ink ;__; cuz that would suck esp since the markers are so expensive. make sure you use a paper to protect the surface underneath :P~

[stay4ever0904]

thanks =3

[stay4ever0904]

hi there well i color paint and draw. mmmm but i draw more i would like to know where can i get or buy those amazing markers. cause coloring a whole drawing is alot of work and im lazy jijiji

[HateLoveApathetic]

nice coloring! and nice unique drawing! :D

[edalineeilynd]

:) thanks

[Ayana4418]

Quick question - how long did it take you to learn how to do this? I have a basic knowledge of shading and highlights so I'm wondering do you just play around until you find your style or what? :)

[edalineeilynd]

Hiya! I didn't know how to color hair before...just the plain all over color. But I saw this drawing and I copied it (kinda...) and from then on, i practiced and kept coloring hair like that forever XD~

So, basically....I just played around and found my style :) But it's an easy way to do hair shinies. :)

[Ayana4418]

I plain color too! :D So all I need is an inspiration then! Thank you! ^^V

Thanks for putting the vid up! :)
