Description The last of my CLAMP fanarts. I realized I haven't submitted in anything in quite a while. Though I wanted to work on the manga and put up a few pages more, I just did not have the time . So this is what I have for now.

The picture has ben copied from one of the X art books - saw the original and had to draw it! I do not know which one it was but I was so mesmerized by the colours that I had to try it out! The main reason why I love to draw CLAMP's artwork and paint them is because of the colours they use. They use copics....which I do not have but I want to try and reproduce those effects with the colours I have. It is a challenge in colouring and also helps me understand how they balance their colours without making it look too gaudy. It is a great way to study!

Done using poster colours.

X & Kamui Shiro and the original art(c) CLAMP.

Wow O___O the incredibe thing is that you copied it very well, also in colors' tones!!!
However, when clamp were drawing X, they used egg tempera colors, not copics

Thank you !

They used tempera? Wow! I have used them once, long time ago. I had the basic colours. Did they use tempera for all their coloured works in X?

You're welcome
I guess you've never seen this video---> [link] =3 Mokona seems to use tempera or something similar, even if youtube's commenters say that it is actually gouache. However, I imagine yes they do, they always used the same media to colour X artbooks.
