Since it's my off-time right now (finals...need I say more?) I figure I'll post up a piece I completed last fall.

Did this in Copic marker based on my uncle's photography (he's a bird watcher and has some sweet-ass cameras that I totally want to nab )

When I was near completion though, my B32 copic marker started to run dry - the FIRST and most inconvenient of time in the 3 years I've had those bloody things! I had to improvise by choosing a darker shade of blue and was almost certain that this piece was anything, but salvageable. Alright, so I was a bit over-dramatic sounding there, but for any artist who runs into these said problems, this is a nightmare from hell!

Looking back at it now, I'm happy to say that it was good that I chose a darker shade - it really makes the bird stand out.

Amongst my journal blogs I will be posting about tablets, I plan to also do one on Copic Markers too. At first glance, Copic only seems to ever be used for anime (nothing wrong with that, I love anime too ) but I want to show people that these amazing markers are capable of many other things besides.

I will be doing more animal pieces - I find more and more that birds seem to be one of my favorites these days (the only bird who is an exception is the sea gull - hate those things!..oh yes, and pigeons can be annoying too). Stick around for more. I'll be doing more of them (including a Great Horned Owl)

Tools Used:

Copic Original / Sketch markers
Canon paper
Copic Ink Pens 0.03 & 0.05
Matte Vignette created in Photoshop CS4 - cuz I suck and have no money to buy proper framing material.
