She is definately cute... you do excellent work! And I doubt I could ever get markers to look that good... I'm more a pencils guy... and I almost always mix-media with digital. Yet you're better than me with a difficult media... my hat's off to you.

I suppose so... but i think most people can make coloring from pencil easier than ink... it's more forgiving. I'm always impressed by your work.

I agree with you that colored pencils are easier than markers for most people, but for a different reason. Experience versus inherent difficulty.
It seems to me, colored pencils are so much more popular than markers that it's perpetuated a persistent public opinion that markers are somehow harder... Because they are to most people due to a relative lack of experience with them versus colored pencils. Markers are harder for most people because they've barely used them, not because markers themselves are inherently more difficult. You see, most people grow up using pencils, while few touch decent markers until much later, after the quirks of colored pencils are firmly ingrained in their experience. (Markers suck for anyone trying to use them like colored pencils) If the situation was reversed and most people grew up using markers and not colored pencils, the myth would be the opposite, that colored pencils are "difficult and unforgiving".
You see, I am one of those people who grew up using primarily markers rather than colored pencils. And so to me, markers are easy and forgiving while colored pencils are frustrating and unforgiving. Not because either one is actually easier or harder, but because I have lots of experience using one and comparitively little using the other. Experience, not inherent difficulty.
Granted, personal taste has a hand in it just as experience does. Even when equally experienced with both, people tend to find one or the other easier just out of personal taste. Which still means that neither one is inherently harder or less forgiving.
Hope what I wrote made some sense.

It does. I only find colored pencils more forgiving for one reason... erasors work! *laughs*

So this is what happens when they cut me for a couple of weeks from internet. They should pay for it and I donΒ΄t have money in mind. I waded through comments of the others and I have nothing new for you to say except that this piece came out great! I donΒ΄t know about many to compete with you and itΒ΄s a shame itΒ΄s this late to tell you.

Your anthro work is really good. My favourite thing about all of these, though, are these elaborate backgrounds - they are VERY well done. (:

Rich, lovely colors, fun pose and a sweet looking character... I need to hurry up and finish inking my latest work so I can start the coloring phase! (sighs) Oh well... soon. Yes, soon...

wow, I would agree with you on the best piece of yours yet! THis is fantastic! YOu did a splendid job shading the fur itself, it looks natural and soft. Her hair is really well highlighted, its subtle, but perfect for the mood! And the background? You scored, buddy! that is really well done, my dear! So, exactly how does this dying marker trick work?

wow! well that sure does sound like a nice trick, I will have to try it out! You can lighten colors if you put em on top too, but you have to use alot of ink...so I guess I wouldn't reccommend it unless totally necessary! but I've used it a couple times before!
hmm, well, Yellow ochre sure looks to be a pretty color..I might just have to grab one of those. I really have very few yellows, suprisingly.

thats for sure! and the clear blender does make things splotchy and its rather uncontrolable, but I've gotten some good stuff out of it!

I use the Colorless Blender like a bleach pen to "erase" things. That thing sucks for blending but it's a life-saver as a bleach pen!

CrazySkye In reply to Peachfuzz [2007-08-28 06:02:28 +0000 UTC]
yeah, but it works well to lighten things too...you just kinda have to understand it before you try to work with it! I used it a couple times in works like [link] on her shirt thing!

CrazySkye In reply to Peachfuzz [2007-09-07 14:53:41 +0000 UTC]
yeah, first time I worked with it I was like...NOOOO! It ruined some lovely skin I was trying to blend...but that seems like so long ago...

I wish I could figure out how to be a marker artist.
I just cannot figure out why people do not abuse the favorites button on your works. This is so wonderful and beautiful. It clearly shows so much detail and effort.
I love your style so much.
