Description

I have more tutorials in my Tutorials gallery folder! [link]

well blow me down, there's a shading category, Hyuk Hyuk...

Anyways, after watching millions of video tutorials on colouring with copics, 99.99999% of them are "how to colour skin", but they all show the same way.

I wanted to show you that with a little effort, you can have more interesting, or dynamic skin colouring. I didn't go deep into adding tons of colours and multiple light sources, but we gotta start somewhere right?
Next I might do different types of skin tones... or something. Send me some suggestions if you like... on my blog... [link]

I used Copic markers for this, but this would apply to any medium really...

Anyways, Whatever... I hope this is useful or something... :eager:

And as a side note: I don't mean the nose thing to be terribly offensive, only a wee bit. Enough to make you THINK about style choices before doing them, Okay?
If it upsets you, toughen up your hide a little, then keep doing what you do.

What kind of paper do you use for your copic markers? I've tried just about everything besides card stock. I've tried bristol, marker paper, mix media paper, sketchbook paper, etc, but I have not yet found anything that I like to work with. Any ideas?
