Jesus, this has to be one of the most helpful things I've read in about a year. Promarker tutorials are hard to find... I've finally figured out what I'm doing wrong I treating the promarkers like copics, soft and wispy whereas actually promarkers are better for bold, colourful pictures anyway, thanks so much for making this, the tips on hair, skin and material were particulary useful and the finished pic looks amazing
I haven't been able to use copics enough to notice the difference between the two markers, but now that you mention it, copic works do look a lot softer than promarker works! Anyway, I'm really happy that you found this helpful.
Ooh.. It turned out really good! o3o Have you ever tried to do the shadows first and after that.. Color the whole part? And you don't start with the brighter colors? o:
Oh, and btw.. What exactly is the name of that "white gel pen"? XD
Yes, I've tried that too. With skin I'm just more careful since it's not fun if you accidentally make it too dark. But with everything else I like to experiment.
And the gel pen I use is Gelly Roll medium tip gel pen: [link]
But I'm pretty sure any kind of gel pen goes. I usually try them out at stores before buying. First I draw a little ball on a paper with a black pen, then I use the white gel pen on top of it. If it's visible on the black area, it'll work fine with markers too.
Oh, ok Hmm.. I wonder if I can find any of those here in sweden.. Last time I asked for a pen that should be able to do white lines on top of marker colors.. They said that they didn't have any.. But I'll try the thing you do next time to see if they were wrong or not XD
I'm from Finland and from a very small town too, and even I was able to find one from here! xD Usually bookstores sell pens and other art supplies, but the clerks don't know much about the products they're selling. So you'll have to try things out to find what you're looking for. In an actual art supply store the clerks probably know a lot more (well, hopefully).
I looked in an art supply store called "Panduro", and that's where they said it.. But I think I've seen something that might be a gel pen... Need to test it the next time I go there XD
