I love this video, but I have a question. I see you do the line art in pencil, but you are super detailed from rough to final line art. The video went so fast, it was a little confusing to see just how you did the line art. As far as I get it, you draw/trace the line art multiple times, and even flip it over to see more detail. How many times did you do that, and how did you start coloring it without the help of the light box being on?

@HEARTluv17 I think it's prisma color markers, it gives the same kinda look as water color sometimes.

[HEARTluv17]

:O amazing!! But what did you do for the background? Paint? Or markers? it all looks so awesome!

[KoroMaka]

[Luvmariohatekikyo2]

That thing you do with your pencil on the side of your hand instead of holding it right is very awesome! i cant do it because my hand wont let me.

Its in timeout now.
