Artist's Comments

My character Ara, done with ink pens and copic markers. I think I am getting the hang of these things. However one of the yellows asploded on me, and I didn't bother to fix it in photoshop or anything.

NO, I did not do a background. I blame lazyness and fear of the markers (I'm such a terrible person). Maybe next time.

The coloring job is really nice -- you're really getting the hang of markers.

Thanks Jen! I think I finally figured out how this blending thing works

The shading looks pretty darn good, particularly the highlights! :D
I only noticed the highlight on the hair... The light is coming from the upper left of the image, or there's be highlights on the back of her shoulders, too, but the highlight on the hair looks more like light from straight above - the highlight should curve up at the back of her head a bit. :)
Good call that you also paid attention to details like the shadows under the straps of her top!

Regarding the lineart, her skirt looks a bit odd to me. That wide section bulging outside that's not on top of her thigh, I don't get how that fold can point upwards, rather than following gravity and hanging down. Do you understand which part I mean?

Her eye also seems to be too close to the outline of her face.

Over all I like the pose. At first I didn't realise it was one of your images, because the shading is such a big jump of quality from the last markered image of you I saw. :D

woah thanks a ton for the input! I agree with the hair highlights totally--I hardly thought of that. As far as the skirt goes, I looked at references for pleated skirts in similar positions and the pleats would usually hold (I suppose it depends on the fabric and how "set" the pleat fold is).

I think I've finally got some sort of clue on how to blend and layer these things, whereas the last image I don't think I tried very hard to blend them.

Wow, the colouring in this one is just exquisite! I love how bright and crisp the colours are, and the shine/highlights looks amazing! You're becoming a marker-master! :D
