Description TA DAH!!!

Been spending the week on this, and its been awhile since I last used my Copics, so it was good to use them again

Started with a pencil sketch in my sketchbook, then did a quick trace onto Copic paper, then paint in with Copics and finally detail everything with a fineliner.

Overall it turned out good, but I think the very back of the background could have been more...well, better.

Cool work mate! I reckon your the only one out of everyone I have seen so far to have got the true feeling of pandora. With the background, the only thing I would say is maybe some more light and shade like some real black bits in the background and shadows to give it more shape.

What did you do this with? looks a bit like poster paints but whatever it is its way cool

Haha, hey thx man I used Copic markers for this, started as a pencil sketch, then used the copics, then the fineliner to add detail and lines Yeah I would have liked to add a bit more depth to the background but Im limited to like 19 colours and shades, with only 3 blues which are quite vivid or grey.

I have no idea who the character is but I certainly love the drawing
It may have been a while since you used the copics but you have definetly not lost your touch with them. Love the detailing and colouring on the background. The character looks awesome, do they all have like that braid/bead thing in there hair? The eyes look so deep

mad-dragon249 In reply to MangaManiacNatNeko [2010-01-17 18:10:52 +0000 UTC]

Hey thx It was fun using copics again for this The characters no one special for now, just a random figure of the top of my head The beads and stuff is just some random tribal style stuff....yeah
