[askamanga13]

what paper do you use?

[TenshiKira1]

seriously...what's with the nose?

[edalineeilynd]

@TenshiKira1 What's with the nose?

[TenshiKira1]

@edalineeilynd well...sorry if I'm rude but it's very strange. It's very...big XP but the whole picture is amazing. :)

[edalineeilynd]

@TenshiKira1 You're not being rude. You're just expressing your opinion and I appreciate it. :) But, it's how I draw

[TenshiKira1]

@edalineeilynd you have an amazing drawing style ^_^ just magnificent. I'm terrible at drawing because I started it a few months ago so I guess I shouldn't judge other people :P I'm sorry if I got you upset or something. You have helped me alot with this tutorial! thanks.

[edalineeilynd]

@TenshiKira1 Nobody is terrible at drawing. If you like how you draw, then that's all that matters (in my opinion :) ). Didn't get upset but I admit I got a little irritated only because I was going through my messages and most of them were about bashing the nose :P There's only so much you can take, ya know? XD

[TenshiKira1]

@edalineeilynd you're right ^_^

[JessieD1298]

[edalineeilynd]

@JessieD1298 Thank you :)

[TheQueerGiraffe]

[edalineeilynd]

[TigglesLuvsNomNoms]

the nose is weird. it screws up the whole drawing.

[edalineeilynd]

@TigglesLuvsNomNoms I like how you're going through all my videos and commenting on the same thing

[TigglesLuvsNomNoms]

@edalineeilynd wow, this and 1 other drawing/video. thats it. man you need to chill

[Sayukae]

@TigglesLuvsNomNoms Lol, I know this is none of my business but you are so ridiculous talking about how they need to chill when you're the one attacking their style of drawing hahaha.

[JessieD1298]

@edalineeilynd that person xommenting on the nose has NO life obviously i luffles ur drawings

[xiTzblazinx]

Wow she's very cute!

[edalineeilynd]

@xiTzblazinx :) thank you

[edalineeilynd]

@Sakurakillercat if you know that this is how i draw, then why are you going through my videos commenting about the nose?

[AicentBlaichez]

If you only do ceartin areas , how do you do darker skin ?

[edalineeilynd]

@AicentBlaichez for darker skin, i color the whole thing, then layer darker colors like how I did in this video

[roselinabonnie1997]

I have a question how do you know where to shade your characters I always try looking for the answer in some drawing book's I find or have and they never have the answer??? Where do you get copic markers??

[starriepwns]

How did you make it so that the freaking makers don't make it darker every time you go over another layer of the same color? :(

I have just got some shitty faber castell markers and i feel like crying because theyre shit and i tried to test them out by coloring in a freaking whale JUST BLUE and it looked like shit. :(( i might have as well used some fucking crayola

[edalineeilynd]

@starriepwns It could be because I'm using alcohol based markers. I think the faber castell ones are water based and they tend to streak a lot (water based ones). i still use crayola and water based markers too :) I have a lot of problems with streaking when i color with the water based ones... (and the alcohol ones too). I hear you have to color fast and then let it dry COMPLETELY before you do another layer on top. i think it also has to do with the paper you use

[starriepwns]

@edalineeilynd Ohhh okay thank you! :3

[BlairSantos]

are those her nostrils?

[edalineeilynd]

@BlairSantos No, it's shadows of the sides of the nose

[BlairSantos]

@edalineeilynd good thing it isn't...

P.D: in manga it's not used very often, normally it's just one

good job anyways... :)

[Xcrispyz]

I wondered: what paper do you use?

[edalineeilynd]

@Xcrispyz Hi, I use Strathmore Bristol Smooth

[TheFoxes28]

T'as combien de couleurs ? O_O

[edalineeilynd]

@TheFoxes28 um...a lot?

[ControlOfTheSoul]

TT.TT u abuse those copics, ur suspose to draw with them very lighty, it helps alot to save ink also

[taikyo]

How thick is your paper? Or you're using the Copic papers? 

[edalineeilynd]

@taikyo Hi. I use Strathmore Smooth Bristol, so it's kind of thick

[edalineeilynd]

@Roxes358over2days ???

[MissFluffyFluff]

Your style

It interests me very much :O

[edalineeilynd]

@MissFluffyFluff :) thank you

[BritAurora]

You are really good at coloring, the eyes and the hair look great ^_^

[edalineeilynd]

@BritAurora :) thanks

[XxSweetCupcakeLolixX]

im new to the copic sketch, and i have only the skin tones and the rest i color with color pencils, is there any advice you could give me with coloring with copics for the skin?

[edalineeilynd]

@XxSweetCupcakeLolixX according to a lot of people; i color skin weird @__@; So i don't know if I can give you any advice :P~ The only advice i CAN give you is always start from the lightest shade to the darkest. If you want a soft look, use the colorless blender. if you want the colors to be more defined/sharp don't use the blender at all

[XxSweetCupcakeLolixX]

@edalineeilynd really? i like the way you color skin : D i tried doing that, but my result didn't come out so good ^^; but for now i've been using E000 to color the full skin and then i go into adding the shading with darker color, but my problem is, when you do the lighting areas, i never under stood that @_@

[edalineeilynd]

@XxSweetCupcakeLolixX I usually just color the sides of the face and shade the nose a bit, where shadow would hit and under the eyes, ....err...i think i'll probably have to do a vid on this to show you LOL

[XxSweetCupcakeLolixX]

@edalineeilynd lol okay thanks XD that would help ^^

[yukicosplay]

It's a really good drawing. Keep up the good work! :)

[edalineeilynd]

[redpencilmage]

[edalineeilynd]
