Sharpie Tutorial

Description

A few people were asking how I drew with markers, so here you go. ^.^

Not perfect...but like it says I'm a putz...

Notes:
With really light colors such as white or paler skin tone just do the darkest shadows with an approximation of the color. Light skin tones look HORRID in Sharpie. If it really may bothers you color it with colored pencil or something. With really dark colors only use highlights or shade in black. Which makes a mess.

If coloring an area in black ink it in a dark color (I like blue) so it doesn't look like a shapeless black mass.

Like I said in the tut experiment with different colors for shading and highlighting :) Different combinations appear to give entirely different shades or yield just plain cool results


I hope this helps people :D

Edit-I've changed my sharpie coloring style since doing this :/ I might post a new tut eventually, but for now I hope this is still useful to some people.
