My friend sketches her drawings in pencil, I go over the sketches with a fine point sharpie and use Crayola Crayons or coloured pencils to colour it. It comes out fine, so I'm really glad I'm not the only one using cheap sh*t. :p

@pulliplover101 It's how I draw. I'm sure you don't draw the same as everyone else

[VerchielxKanda]

That's awesome!! :D

I had a question. My character's hair is purple. I have a huge bag of markers that need to be used, but I only have two shades of purple. Should I stick with colored pencils? D:

@edalineeilynd I only have 1 request, can you make a H to video on how to do the bangs??

[BloodRoseChichi23]

I got better at coloring hair with markers and colored pencils because of this video!!~ :3

wow really nice, but whats wrong with her nose? o.O

[krazykeshalover]

Could you do a demonstration on how you draw the hair? I really like your style and im new at drawing Manga and Anime so i could use some pointers :)

[edalineeilynd]

@PinkUsagii I don't want it to look cute. I want it to look like my style. What you're saying is to change my style and I won't. And all anime noses are different. Have you seen One Piece, Death Note, Nana, SailorMoon, Pokemon? It's a style.

@yellowhue30 Thank you :)

@myownworld1001 Nothing's wrong with the nose. It's a style. You don't draw/write/dress the same as everybody else do you?
