Description
A tutorial I made forSrry I didn't make it colorful or anything, it's just straight forward xD
I hope this helps, traditional art is actually very easy!
and best part about it is you don't have to be rich to do fancy art!
I saw this one 100 pack markers once, but then this little kid ran in front of me and took it and I was like,"Hey! I wanted that!"
and my parents officially think I'm weird cause I use kids markers xxP
They told me,"How old are you again?"
xxDD
Anyhow, hope you all Enjoy~

Real helpful tutorial! What brand markers are you using?
I know you said 50 pack Crayola, but when i tried searching it, it's hard to find.
Does it have all the colors?
Do you still use the same markers?
Sorry for asking so many questions.

Thanks, I hope it can help as many traditional artists as possible ^u^
They usually sell it at Wallmart, Kmart, Michelles, Target they have it for only $5 at Target so I recommend going there first ;3
No it doesn't have all of them, so I suggest first looking for a 100 pack markers (which is usually for rose-art brand) it's around $12 which isn't that bad :'D
and yes but I don't only use these markers now, I got some new ones called blendy pens and they work really well *u*
but they don't have that many light colors, so when I need to color with lights I use the crayola or rose-art ^3^
Hope this helps~ ;3

Soo.... is it recomendable to use markers?
I've always hated coloring with those .__.U
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Use whatever your comfortable using
Out of all the traditional media I've been using, markers are the
only type that I never had a hard time blending colors with. and the
effect after it drys gives a smooth and neat color transition. So I prefer
it to for example color pencils or paints. But you may experiment with
different media and find the one that is most effective for you ^u^

I glad you think so!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's actually pretty good for a first try!
it also depends on the quality of markers that you use
some are too inky and leave a darker color on the paper .o.
I just figured that out last week xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes,my are leaving darker color..The color on marker was light orange,and it colored completely darkly.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, gotta be careful of that
Just look for markers that are in a fancy box, then they'd be good quality ;3

I will try this one! I have 5 or 4 blue markers in one pack so woohoo!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Go ahead! and good luck ;3

Really? What did you have trouble with? .o.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lmao. The whole thing basically.
Look: [link]
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's actually pretty good for a first try!
Don't worry you'll get the hang of it, it took me a while to
figure out how to best blend the colors, and even now I still
mess up my drawings. ;n;
I start off with markering small doodles before I start on the
big picture ;3
But just remember after you colored both shades, then you can
always use the lighter color next to the shaded region more than once
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh this is a small doodle, trust me it took like five minutes.
Maybe I'll try again when I get better markers, lol.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ohh, ok then don't be too hard on yourself over it
and trust me, wayy better than my first try
The best markers for pro-coloring are Prisma-color, and Copic markers.
But they are too expensive, so I advise Crayola or Roseart ;3

I have these off brand ones that smell like fish. D:<
I might try your tutorial again for color pencils. I sort of already use the same technique already but hey there's always room for improvement! (;
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lol, fish!? I think the ink got rotten or something? xD
Are they new?
anyway, I find color pencils easier to use cause they're erasable
to an extent, but still you're about to lighten a color in case
there's a mistake. You could also try experimenting and try and
blend different colors, I heard blue makes a good dark tone for purple
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Blue does make a good dark tone for purple! And red makes a good light tone for purple too.
And they are very old. 5+ years.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Wow, I didn't know that!
I need a lot of experimenting to do myself xD
and that explains why they smell like fish
Ohh, did you know Chinese/Japanese artists'
paints are made from insect blood?! .o.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I didn't know that. That's kinda gross. How do they get all of the colors?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's the thing, different insects had different blood colors
and they only need the 3 dominant colors Blue, yellow, and red to make
all the others
I saw them, the colors are actually very vivid and florescent but thicker
than regular pain -u-
I actually liked using it 
it came from
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's not all insect blood, is it? They have to mix water or something, right?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah, cause initially it's way to think to just use as paint :3
and I'm pretty sure it's not just blood, there's some guts in there too > >
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeeeeeahh!
When you say it like that makes me feel like never using it again Cx
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Actually I want to try it now! I bet it's really expensive though.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nope, not any more than regular acrylic paints
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
nice tutorial
and yeah what you've told in here is true, but i would also suggest to leave blank in the white areas, like for highlights or something like that
oh and i have that 100 markers box you said you wanted XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks!
yeah, I should have done that xP It would've given it a more shaded look ;3
Ohh, you're soo lucky! They get out of stock in the matter of minutes at my shop ;o;
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah np ^^
i was just suggesting
aww that's horrible D:
