Description Sweet lord, when I first decided to pay over 10 quid for 5 felt tip bloody pens I thought I was going mental, (I'm very very cheap) But sweet lord they are awesome! And fun to use, Copics are the way forward.


Erm... this is just a page of doodles

Although that evil looking sod with the braid beard is Balthar, the leader of the Eye of Karnath in my WIP fantasy comic (all of which is (c) of me >)

Sry, I guess I just wanted to rant and rave for a few seconds, let me know what you think of my first attempt

I'm looking at you Ms.

Looking good; I like your grasp of facial shadows. It looks like you're able to do those with one smooth motion, there's no overlap with your shadows- I can never manage that. (P.S. I tend to like the basic printer paper because the colors don't bleed or absorb like thicker ones.)

Thank you! Ufft, beginners luck and I'd trade that to get your line clarity any day!
(printer paper ftw)

Bloody hell! You wouldn't think that you've only just brought them. It's looking good, sir.

Just out of interest, are you using marker paper or just the bog standard stuff? I just use the latter myself, since I waste on my money on felt tips...

Thank you! the scanner nerfed them a little though :/

Just plain old ordinary printer paper.

Snap. It's better more smoother colours.

I can see the difference, guv!

I'm sure you can detect the far more 'cartoon' look to the lines,
that things seem much more fluid and smooth. Keep going along that
path, dude - I think some seriously good art will come from this...!

I'm seeing the seeds of real awesome win even now in your art...!

Thanks man!

Yeah, I still think I've got to work on my pen control, I'm too much of a scratchy penciller for my own good I think!

You'll get there with practice - If you keep the production going, your style will grow...!

Once you get used to these kind of pens, they'll be no holding you back, sir!

Here's hoping! I'm currently bashing out a few pages of expressions for Reyna, just head shots, partly to get the hang of the expressions and partly just to get a hang of these markers, it's really quite fun!
