Description
Sadira again! <3Had a bit of trouble with the blending on the grey DX I think I getting more tones might help a little :<
On the plus side, I'm quite happy with the hands that mostly look like hands. The hair was fun too X3 (If not really hard to color due to some markers running out of ink >.>)
It's incredibly fun to come up with new outfits for just about every pic :3 Especially with how they make no sense and are an excuse for her to show off cleavage. Which is actually good, because it means I can almost draw boobs now.
I wonder how impractical hair like that would be in the real world owo;;
Media: Sakura Micron, Copic Multiliners, Copic Sketch markers, Canson marker paper
Time taken: 2-3 hr sketch, 3 hours ink + color
Character and art (c) me

It comes with practice c:

Yeah, but... Wow. XD That must have been a /lot/ of practice.

Well, got my first copics about 4 years ago now, and been abusing them since, so yeah XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
o___________________________________o And they've /survived/ four years? Geez. Every time I try to use anything like pen they die so fast... That and I lose them 'OTZ

There's ink refills for them 
And you don't lose them as much when you get a box! 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmmmm... How much are the refills? o___________o If they're inexpensive, maybe I'll ask for them for my birthday or something... They DO look like a lot of fun, and they'd make colouring so much easier on me - especially for things like refs DX Digital colouring is just so time-consuming for something like that!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The markers are 5.95$ a piece (if you buy them on the official site, you can sometimes get them cheaper), and the refills are the same price, although you can usually use them 5-6 times (they're actually ink bottles of the right color). They last a really long time before you need to refill them though <3
AND THEY ARE SO MUCH FUN X3 I love those things. They do take a little while to get the hang of though :< And you always end up wishing you had more colors than what you have XD (I have something like 90 of them and I keep going "ashjkhj I'm missing a color OTL")

B'aaaagh... The main problem is with startup costs! DX It's so freaking expensive... Ehhhh. Well, maybe I will ask for a set for my birthday. I'll just need to make sure I'm /so/ careful with them not to lose them - I am absolutely notorious for losing things. D: Do you know any cheaper brands that people might recommend, or should I stick with copics?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Copics are the only ones I've used a lot (with the others I didn't do much more than just try).
I use the Copic Sketch markers, but the Copic Ciao are cheaper, have less ink, and aren't refillable, but they're fairly similar. Otherwise I've heard good things about the Tria markers, though I've never tried them. Prismacolors are so-so, but they're quite cheap and good for starting out. There's a few other brands, but I can't seem to remember their names OTL

Oooh, okay

You're welcome
If you find a shop where they sell some, you might want to try them out there to see ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oooh, that's a good plan!

Haha, yeah xD I usually spend 30+ minutes trying out colors when I buy more XD

Ohgod iimagine the store employees XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD 'DDDDDDDDDDDDDD: JUST BUY SOME ALREADY GOD WHY ARE ALL THESE ARTY-TYPE PEOPLE SO PICKY'
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think they're used to it by now XD And I mean, I've seen someone come to that store while DRESSED AS A BANANA, so I think I'm still in the clear XD

... XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD YOU'RE STILL ALL GOOD. You fall within the spectrum of 'relatively normal' as far as customers go. XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD Plus actually I bet a load of people who work in art shops are artists themselves, so they know how it goes
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
XDD Probably
Makes it tempting to come in dressed as random characters/things though XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh my god. DO IT. COsplay every time you need some art supplies and become a regular XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

I have an excuse to sew up a new costume now! X'D
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You totally do. Use it to dress up as someone AWESOME... Like Pikachu >D
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Was thinking more along the lines of an OC, but I guess that works too? XD
A KEMONOMIMI VERSION OF PIKACHU OwO That'd be cool
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
OHMYGOD IT WOULD BE.
...
Who IS Kemonomimi? XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD TELL ME ABOUT HER.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Kemonomimi meants "animal ears" ^^ So basically a human chara but with animal ears and/or a tail (Like my OC Lemmy)
I wanna draw a Pikachu kemonomimi now DX Except I should sleep. Choices...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
OH RIGHT AWESOME. ... XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD ART OR SLEEP, SUCH A CHOICE D:
... And sometimes people wonder why artists are often sleep-deprived...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I knooooow XD Between games and drawing and chatting and reading random crap on the internet, who has time to sleep anymore!?
And then people still wonder how I can wake up at 3 in the afternoon =3=
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ohhhhgod. DX Yus! My Mum's just 'D8 3?! THAT'S SO LATE WHAT THE GODS'. I prefer the night OKAY Mum?! DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD: B'aaagh. Ohwell, drawing is fun~ Well worth the lack of sleep >D

👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Started anime-style drawing around 8 years ago ^o^ Been at it like a madman ever since XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh wow. XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD It definitely shows! I only started trying to draw in year 6, so... Just 6 years down this end. D: BUT DRAWING IS SO AWESOME WHY DIDN'T I START SOONER.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hahaha I know what you mean XD I wish I'd started earlier too DX
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
D: Blaaagh. Oh well - I'm proud of how far I've come in the time I have. Back in year 6 I was the worst artist in the year - as proclaimed by both mother and art teacher. And I'd have agreed. XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Heheh xD That's a nice jump forward then X3
I'm fairly happy with how much I progressed myself, but I always wanna get better >A<
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, well, such is the curse of an artist. XD Always getting better, never getting as good as you want to be. But hey - no matter how good you want to be, you'll always make pretty art along the way, so just enjoy the ride~
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Indeed! X3 And it wouldn't be fun if we didn't have any reason to get better X3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Of course XD If you let your art stagnate, you'll run out of things to draw~!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yush! X3
And on that note I think I'll go sleep, and ART-TIME TOMORROW 8D
(Had my last exam today to it's finally summer vacation now <3)

Oh WOW. 8DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD... *Stalls in sending this comment so you'll GO TO BED WITHOUT READING IT* D< XD I know the trick of staying up 'just a few minutes longer' to wait for a reply, trust me... >> << >> *Watches for when you go offline*
... B[
Screw it. It's been 15 minutes. YOU'LL NEVER GO TO BED D8
So you're in Uni? AWESOME. 8D Is it fun? I'm still on my A Levels 'OTZ B'agh. Two years to go until I'm off to study in that big wide world out there D:
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
XD
I like it so far X3 You learn a bunch of stuff and people don't treat you like a little kid anymore =3=
What's "A Levels"? I'm not familiar with the school system in the UK >.>;;
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ooooh, where are you situated? o_______o A levels are like... Final exams before University, basically. Universities look at your A Level results and they play a big part in whether or not they'll accept you ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ooh, okay, I see ^^ That's an interesting way of doing things
I live in Switzerland, French-speaking part c:
Here you can basically enter university as long as you finished high school (no entrance exams), but you get kicked out at the end of first year if you don't do well enough. There's like, a 20% success rate in first year at the uni I'm in XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh /wow/. o___________________________________________o You live in SWITZERLAND? That's awesome!
But, that's so awesome. o________________________________________o I'm jealous of your system! ;; It makes so much more sense than ours...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's a fun place, but everything's expensssiiiiive DX Almost as bad as Japan =A=
But yeah, I like the system too c: It's a bitch to anyone from outside the country though, because they tend to be picky about which foreign diplomas can get in.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ohhhhgod. DX I can imagine - Well, that's the nature of the economy nowadays, ne? ;;
Eeeesh, though. XD I guess that is a little harsh on people wanting to come from abroad... But, hey. That's not really a fault in the system of acceptance itself so much as foreign policy, right?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah >.>;
Nah, it's only the uni system that's like that XD I have an IB (instead of the Swiss baccalaureate), and I had trouble getting in OTL
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ohhhhhh, okay. > <;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; Why'd you go for an IB, were you considering studying in a different country or was that just the system that you went for in your school?
