This is beautiful and sad :/ She has such a sad expression! I totally love the water splash and the bubbles and the tense emotion! It looks a bit confusing as well though. Perhaps a very subtle shadows/darker color behind them to better separate the foreground with the background might work but I'm not sure haha. Anyway, I really love the emotion and the coloring!!

:3 thank you! I appreciate your comment!
I think it might be a scanning problem, in real life bubbles look like they pop out of the drawing.Β
I have a lot of problems when scanning to preserve the sharpness and color contrast Β Β Actually I don't know if it's me, or drawings look a bit blurry Β

Ahhh I totally understand :/ Sometimes, the picture looks totally different when scanned for me, too! Perhaps it's your scanner which makes the picture blurry? It doesn't look blurry to me though. I always have problems that the subtle and light colors disappear 50% when scanning and I can't even get them back with photoshop xD

Oh yeaah! >_< scanners are evil and mean.
Usually when I color something pink, it will totally disappear when scanning.

Your copic skills are just too amazing. Any tips for a sort of new copic user?

thank you :3 !
I made a tutorial here:Β fav.me/d5mydjb
I think one of the most important things is to choose the right paper. Bristol paper, copic paper, or watercolor paper (not a rough one) are good. Sometimes if you use another kind of paper the coloring will look scratchy or with stripes. Also you have to try to color fast in order to avoid that (having lines or straps in the coloring).
Also, I do the dark shades first and then blend them with a lighter color 
For small areas you can rub markers tips against each other and get nice color blendings
I have a short video, but quality is not very greatΒ www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKBHzQβ¦
Anything more specific you can ask me *.*Β
