Description So here's Juliana's second failed attempt to color using her Copic markers... *cries*

It came out quite nice but I really don't understand how to color fur just yet... while trying to color this yesterday ~Boneitis and ~chewibunny started telling me how it's too saturated and I was going crazy trying to figure out why and then it's because my lightest shade of brown is the one on her... so yeah... it was crazy @___@

I do like how it came out but I'm hoping to do sooooo sooo much better later on as I keep using my copics (THANK YOU SUMMER... now I have time to use em ;___; ). Also I have to learn how to SCAN colored pieces.. I think she looks a bit weird the way I scanned her.... anybody help?

And lastly... I don't like the marker paper I used for this... It's all right but after I left the drawing out all night it got sooo much darker and also it does something kindah weird to the color once it starts to dry out so yeah... what do you guys use with copics?

Well hopefully tomorrow I'll have the second part done AND my two commissions finished so YAY go me *shot*

I love, and always go back to working on smooth color copy cardstock paper. it's pretty cheap and takes marker, ink, pencil, and a little bit of watercolor. You can usually get it in an Office Depot/Max or some equivalent office supply store in the printer paper section.

GatesuRyu In reply to JulieJubz [2009-07-13 04:30:39 +0000 UTC]

then just look for 40-60 or so pound smooth bright white paper. I'm sure a good chunk of paper in that category will work happily with copics.

JulieJubz In reply to dawniie [2009-06-25 17:45:55 +0000 UTC]

nope! White gel pens ! They work like a charm if you have a good one... I used to have a really bad one that whenever I used it it would fade and blend in with the color which sucked... but the one I got now works perfectly and I think it's also due to the copics being such a good brand :3

You know..and you'll probably shoot me for this but, you could have had a bit of her costume peeking out from under where she popped her coat open. Just saying. (still cute either way) Goodnight.

I was going to actually but when I did the first part I wasn't actually sure what her costume was gonna be like. I still want to redesign this one even though I love the colors for it xD!

Just looks like there's a lot of shadow, adding to the mystery. Of coarse if you happen to be anyone who doesn't know what she's doing you'd be pointing at her going "Pervert girl!! Pervert girl exposing herself!!" LOL

Kentofski [2009-06-22 23:06:54 +0000 UTC]

This is good julie But I agree the paper could be to blame for the saturation, I can see the where the grain on the paper has bled too

Im using Zig Marker Paper, It costs a bundle but its brilliant! I only use it for doing my BEST work as 50 sheets is around £5.80 o_o Failing that I use Goldline Marker Paper which is good for more roughing sketches. Copics can be a little OOT in my opinion though when it comes to the ink, thats why they run out so quickly Why dont you try getting some tria colours if you can afford em They are prolly the most expensive marker ever though lol. I use Zig Kurecolor markers at the moment.

Fornow I suggest you might want to get some nicer marker paper. Zig. Goldline. They are two very good makes but I live in England so they might not sell em there awwww but I must say ... I LOVE this image so cute

JulieJubz In reply to Kentofski [2009-06-22 23:52:33 +0000 UTC]

Well the paper I'm using right now is specially FOR markers but I really don't like it.... little tiny white dots start to surface after it starts to dry out.. I know that with copics a lot of people use cardstock actually and that always surprised me because it's actually cheap.. so I'll give that a try sometime... hopefully that will work.

Thanls for all the help though ^^ I'm glad you like this one <3

Kentofski In reply to JulieJubz [2009-06-23 10:45:00 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, white dots = bad quality The weave musnt be very tight. Cardstock is good but it smudges easily so be careful about that. Glad to be of help <3

darkfreakoid [2009-06-22 20:53:41 +0000 UTC]

I think this is great. I think you colored her fur just fine, with chibi illustrations you don't necessarily need a lot of texture. I always loved the way you transitioned to the dark on her nose to her forehead. Your coloring is very solid which is great for a drawing like this. The blue line art really compliments the coloring. I think you did a good job with the eyes since her eye color is the same as her fur, you made it so that they're still noticeable.

JulieJubz In reply to darkfreakoid [2009-06-23 00:16:59 +0000 UTC]

My friend said I should have made the line-art black... I dunno I like it like this. But the fluff on her nose I accidentally learned how to do that with a friend and i love how it works ;___; And for her eyes I did something different this time and I liked it waaaaay better then what I did on the other copic picture. Layers are our friends xD
