++FAQ++

Q. What kind of markers do you use?
A. Copic markers: http://www.copicmarker.com/
I have the 72A set plus some.

Q: What kind of paper do you use?
A. I use Bee Brand marker paper, which is meant for alcoholic-based markers such as Copics: http://www.beepaper.com/htm...

Q. How old are you?
A. I just turned 19 in April.

Q. Where do you live?
A. Canada :3

Q. How long have you been using copics?
A. Since October 2008.

Q. What pens do you use for lining? What sizes?
A. Copic multiliners. Any other pens I've tried with copics make the lines bleed. The sizes I most often use are 0.05, 0.1, and 0.2 for eyes. :3

Q. What colours do you use for skin tones?
A. Always the same. I use E00, R000, R00, R01, R02, and BV31.

Q. How do you blend the colours?
A. I'm not sure how to explain it, since it's very easy. Just have colours that will blend easily (for example, yellow orange). Lay the darker colour down first (orange) and blend together with the lighter colour (yellow). To blend just lay down the colour several times quickly in the same spot. You can see a visual example of this in my "Ocean's first copic marker tutorial" video. :3

Q. Where can I get copic markers?
If you are living in a small town they are difficult to find, but in big cities they should be at your local art store (the chain store Curry's has a lot of them, Michael's as far as I know doesn't). If there's not place locally that has them I suggest purchasing online. Akadot Retail has lots of copics and well as handy mangaka supplies, and there are some good deals on eBay as well.

Q. What do you use for the white parts? (Eye shines etc)
A. I use a white gelpen for small spots, and bottled white ink (Brand: Deleter white ink available at akadot.com) for larger areas.

Q. What programs do you using for your digital colouring?
A. OpenCanvas4.5e Plus, Paint Tool SAI, and Photoshop CS2.

Q. Do you have to buy these programs? Where do you get them from?
A. I bought mine a few years back, however they don't sell them in English anymore (only in Japanese) but I'm sure there are free English downloads swimming around the net.
As for Paint Tool SAI, there is a free month trial at it's English site: http://www.systemax.jp/en/sai/ , where you can also buy it.
Goes the same for Photoshop and all of it's versions.

Q. What tablet do you use? How much was it?
A. I use Wacom intuos 3, I think it was about $200. I forget honestly. =w=;;;

Q. How do you do lineart/colouring in Opencanvas and SAI?
A. Lineart in SAI - Pen tool
Colouring in SAI - Pen tool for filling, water colour brush from blending
Lineart in OC - Ink pen tool
Colouring in OC - First paintbrush tool for filling, second paintbrush (watercolour brush) for blending

Q. Do you sell at any cons?
A. I usually sell at Anime North (located in Canada) but no other places. I do online orders for my prints and items though (including keychains, stickers, mini pillows, and other cute nicknacks) at my online store (currently getting a new layout, so pleas be patient with the difficult navigation): http://meloncake.net/store

Q. Please make a vid on s-and-so/do you take requests?
A. I don't have time for requests, but I do take commissions (meaning for money payment). Rates go from $5 to $30, I am also willing to send you the original. Please PM me if you're interested. :3
