Working Space & Free Tutorials
So that's where I create my art! Colorful and clean just how I like it!
In this post you can find information about the tools I use for drawing - and tutorials I put together for you. I really hope it'll help you! Of course, if you have any more questions, just ask me!
This is my working space. I am all into Copic Markers as you can see! For the outlines I use Sakura Micron Liners. I also use a light box and the Copic Airbrush System to create fancy backgrounds!
For my coloring technique you use thick marker paper (Clairefontaine, 250g/m2) and always start shading from dark to light! Work your way through - from layer to layer. At last, you add the darkerst layer and the highlights. Use any kind of white gel pen
I love colored pencils! These are Japanese ones from Holbein. My all time favorites, however, are from Caran D'Ache. I have used this brand since I was ten!
For the last step you can just add some glamour like sparkly highlights with a white gel pen and more depth by making the outlines a little bolder!
Before using a fine liner for the outlines, you should sketch it with a pencil!
You are able to create the most awesome pieces only using the Copic Cool Greys (C00-C9), black, a white gel pen and a black fine liner!
It doesn't take much to create a decently looking manga eye!
Here, you also start coloring from dark to light. The light comes from the left side of the picture and falls to the right. It simply means that you also shift the shadows a little more to the right side of the heart!
Coloring the cat eye works the same way as the human eye, but this time we take black colors to achieve a deeper look!
