Description First time using Dual Tip Art Markers on anything!

I thought I would do something other than the traditional pencil and paper and try something new! I am really happy with the results, especially with it being my first time ever using markers!
I am pretty sure with more practice I will be great at using these!

A quick progression video of this has been posted on my Instagram! Check it out and see it in work from the beginning to the end!

In all honesty, you really don't see color penciled work now a days. It is a shame, but I think you will like it! It's uploaded now and it's quite sweet! Literally!

Hi Koala! This is Frappe from here for the comment tag.
My tag word was 'bold'

You don't have a lot of artworks yet. So far this is the only one that is colored and it's simply beautiful. The colors work so well together. You did a great job with these markers and they match your art style so well. The coloring is neat and smooth. Her eyes are colored in such a detailed way and skin coloring is brilliant! I find that this character's expression is bold and fearless. She's confident and she faces us head on. This is why I chose this piece for the comment tag! ^^

A few things that you can improve on is the anatomy. The neck is too long and the top of her head seems shorter than her face and chin. However, you don't really have to change this if this is your preference and part of your style. The shading for the highlights on the hair doesn't look too natural. I would recommend looking at other tutorials for hair 

perhaps something like this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIx-dD…

overall, great job!

For you next tag please visit gallery with the tag word: ''heart''

KoalaTheArtist In reply to AshAnime04 [2016-12-02 02:17:27 +0000 UTC]

Haha thanks! I've been working on the faces and the anatomy recently, so that's probably why it looks a bit different than the other ones. I am developing my own style, so we will see how that turns out. Lol

And thank you very much for the fave! You are too kind!

*sigh* I wish I could take it with me but I'm afraid what if other people Judges. And also, I will do it in the future if I keep improving more in anatomy...

KoalaTheArtist In reply to AshAnime04 [2016-12-03 21:31:43 +0000 UTC]

Yea, it can be scary putting your work out there and fearing what others will think about it. Especially, if you put your heart and soul into it. But hey, if you created it and liked it 10/10 someone else is going to like it too!

And yea, I suck at anatomy. Lol all I can do it keep practicing :3

I occasionally post references on my Instagram. Not only to practice and to get better, but to help other people out in the process :3
And don't mention it! I like to stay positive and be helpful when I can. Haha.

Fudge I am so jealous (of your skills and the markers). Jealousy aside, great picture though. Maybe it's just the color added but it looks more realistic than usual. Did you change your style a bit?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

KoalaTheArtist In reply to Fluffythorne [2016-12-02 00:31:38 +0000 UTC]

Oh stop it you! And I am not really sure. I compared it some of my other drawings and I noticed that since the Anti Jacksepticeye drawing, my style did change a bit. Not a whole lot, but enough to notice small changes.

Fluffythorne In reply to KoalaTheArtist [2016-12-02 03:21:14 +0000 UTC]

No I won't stop! But yeah the changes are small. Also what camera did you use? It took a good quality photograph.

KoalaTheArtist In reply to Fluffythorne [2016-12-02 03:24:20 +0000 UTC]

I'm going to start messing around with other things I haven't used before and see where things go!
You can also see the step-by-step of the drawing on my instagram. I think it's pretty cool.
The camera I used was my phone. Gotta love those Galaxy's!
