How did you create that blue gradation on the fan?

[5amWednesdayMorning]

@TheDrawingLab By using 3 different shades of blue and the colourless blender. You have to move quickly though if you want it to blend right.

Are copic markers like water colour painting?

[5amWednesdayMorning]

@TheRibenaGina Not completely but I suppose that's the closest comparison. They're a pretty unique experience.

The way I see people use copic markers are close to water colors except that they dry faster.. LOL

[5amWednesdayMorning]

@easyteh4getperson Oh so much faster.

Let's all hope Japan the best think about all those people out there I would die if I was there because of fearness and the tsunami pray for them and hope the best for their town to recover.

@kittykateyes121 That's part of the Geisha makeup, to outline the corners of the eyes and the eyebrows in shades of red.
