Description I still think that watercolour is the artistic medium of champions, but I wanted to finally give my (four-year-old) Prismacolor markers a chance. =]

This was fun to make, but the scanner ate all the shading I did on his shirt. Sad face.

The drawing started out as Yuki from Fruits Basket, but then I realized I have no marker of a colour that even remotely resembles his hair. Only insanely bright purple... So he became Howl! 8D

I also felt bad about the deviants who added me because of my Ghibli fan art. Sorry I haven't done one in a while and thank you for your support! I'm also sorry that I have a ton of odd fandoms that will likely obscure Ghibli in the future. orz

Done with Prismacolor markers on regular printer paper (which ~meomeoow just warned me about... She said it like drinks the marker ink. Err, too late. @A@)

HOWL. OH MAN, MY EYES. HE'S TOO SEXY. TOO MUCH, IT'S BLINDING.
Always a fan of Howl. I have a super crush on him.
Wow, you did this with Prisma? It looks digital! I'm really bad with Prismacolor markers myself, so I can really appreciate this.

Thanks, love!! =]

I'm glad you like the hair; I really enjoyed making it! Thanks for everything~

I respect artists who can work well with limited colours! Lately I've been randomly buying a few markers at a time with my food money. xD I'm not starving, but buying fewer snacks. Totally worth it. 8D;;

Whoa!!! This is awesome I think it's a good thing you gave those markers a chance - look how wonderfully you do with them!! The shading is amazing..and he's so vibrant!!! Maybe Yuki will have to be watercolor

Keep it up!!!!

Thanks, mate~ You're always too kind to me.

Yeah, one thing I like about the markers is how juicy the colours are. I'm thinking of buying a few more markers soon (greys, since I have no midtones between white and black) and maybe I'll try to find a Yuki-coloured one while I'm at the store~

I'll try my best.
