Description
So I got my first ever markers today, only 5 colours, skin colours only atm XD I have some more coming from ebay (cos I'm officially hooked)I was messing around with what I could create using 5 colours, and varying the pallette to create different coloured areas.
Lots more messing around to be done though
This is me sticking to fairly traditional marker use. I need to push them around a bit see what they can really do XD

Copics?
i'm addicted to them...not even funny =/
but i love it. the face really reminds me of the way the disney's version of pocahontas looked whenever she looked up, like in the cliff scene.

the same here. I'm always scared to draw or do something if I know I can't erase it XD but with painting, you can just paint over it if you feel like... just try! it's a great feeling to paint! (to me)

As you requested critique:
The left (our left) boob looks a bit high. I can see it's meant to be at an angle, but when compared with the position of the shoulders, it seems a bit off.
'course, this could just be a side effect of me looking at it for too long. The whole piece, I mean, not just the chest. xD

Promarkers but the same idea XD I only have 5 different skintones, so I'm limited but I'm working with the limitedness to come up with some interesting work.

I know what you mean... I wish I was better with limited pallets, lol!! I love blending with markers like that, though: they're like watercolours for the OCD

being of pixel background limited colours is a hell of a fun. Though I have 5 more colours in the post... and I have a lot more on my xmas list.
I love watercolours but they act totally differently to the markers.. I wanna draw more markers stuff! YAYNESS

I'm a little shocked at how the markers thing is almost 100% attributed to manga art, and there's all the kids using them going "OMG I CAN HAZ COPICS ISN'T MY ART EPIC" ¬¬
