thank u ever so much. Actually I'm a bit curious as to where I'm going with this thing.(the comic strip) but it involves the story that I poorly drew on page 3

Damiit courtney XD she fixed it XD

this is the chapter art of the 1st chapter of the story and comic strip. Very Happy its called Disambiguation of the 3rd kind and its olivia dropping a stick (don't ask)

this is actually supposed to go with the song "illuminati" by malice mizer.... and I colored it in with some markers. Its captioned "Mind Control" and its a bit darker than what I usually draw. Let me note now that they don't make skin colored markers D:<

this is monica and it called "sleep through sound" its actually placed the wrong way. Sad actually it doesn't really matter which way. Monica is listening to an mp3 player and it causes sleep but there's a deeper meaning to it than that. The song to go with it is "who's theme" from the samurai champloo soundtrack.

This Andy and this ones called "Bang 23" it has no meaning really and I haven't decided on a song yet. Maybe "The mask" by Dangerdoom (Danger mouse + Mf doom collab) or "Dirty Harry"
By Gorillaz
This is Meg and its called "I'm your vanilla" it was actually the 1st one I did. I tryed to go for a .... fish lense approach on this one and it... well it worked to some extent. I really aimed for the Extremely colorful J-pop clothing theme. And to some point it worked Very Happy the song going on with this one Is (if u hadn't guessed by now) "vanilla" by Gackt. See I had problems mantaining the "innocent" look without passing it off as slutty. Oh well Sad

And that's it have a nice day

Actually, there might be. There's a top-line art marker company named Berol®, and they probably have a website by now. The marker brand is PRISMACOLOR® and they much have about three-hundred colours available in marker at any time, including 'flesh'-coloured ones for the entire 'family of man'.....

They're sold at art supply shops, or office shops with 'drafting supplies' and at 'stamping supply' craft shops. They come in standard-width chisel, felt point and a combination marker with both tips at either end.....

I have used these guys, and they're okay, but they don't last all that long and they tend to dry out. And they're relatively expensive, and as with the previous reasons I wouldn't want to buy a 'complete set'. Still, to have that one 'key' colour that you wouldn't have otherwise. Or, to do a marker 'greyscale' in various tone of a selected 'key' - like violet or aqua.......

I like the marker look and the use of 'reverse outs'. Very good for illustrations and storyboards. Also, that you had a limited selection of colours forced you to use them in a challenging way and with generous whitespace. Very stark and dark-looking, which is the effect you wanted to achieve. An advanced technique I've used a time or two, is to 'tone' in various areas of the composition with washes of watercolour in a light 'key' or complementary colours, let dry and then pick, or pull out the details and accents with the marker. The 'shading' of the wash complements the shading of the marker for dramatic depth without turning to mud. Done with dedication and skill, this technique starts to look like you could've doen it on the computer, which is how they did it before they had computers.....

haha nice. What I meant by they I meant crayola. I guess they had one which could've been intended to be "skin" colored but.... yeah it was too pink. Kinda like a white person who stayed on long beach for too long. Hmmm skin brand eh? Sounds kinda kewl.

nice. Sounds a bit much for colored marker don't it? I mean here in america those kinda places are called "michaels" or unknown small family owned business shops. I mean do u know how long it took me to find india ink? I have two bottles and might I say its the best thing in the world. I just need one of those pens to dip it in(I forget what they're called mahng it sucks. But I need one XD)

doesn't sound like a bad idea but I'm not a real mangaka or comic artists so I can't afford these things.plus they dry easy? Sounds like a lot of wasted money. I mean I know some artists come off like me ,but I'm dirt poor man. Damn communists. Oh... what's a greyscale?

I understood it all until reverse out, what may that be? I mean ,although good to u , I actually have no idea what I'm doing. I'm just doing what I think looks correct. I've only attended art classed as a child in which 2 important things were taught to (me in two days) don't have the people stand on the "line" and how to draw 3-d tables. After that I've never been to art class and I've only picked up a how to draw manga book just to get the supplys. I mean I'm an ametuer in some retrospects. well... I guess I'm asking too much of the people and being tooo hard on myself. -nervous chuckle- anyways I actually had to learn not to color over colored lines(ha) because as u put it, it looks like mud.and as I've always said its easier to correct ur mistakes after you've done them. And thank you. Like on some parts I almost drove myself crazy coloring in. But I mean as you've said if I'd done it without rushing some of it could've turned out better

Yeah.... I think, those lil' Prismacolor suckerz are between five and eight buxx, but once we needed ONE colour and so, we bought it. These things had their day when commercial art 'cartoons' or roughs, the presentation idea you took to a client, were all hand coloured and drawn.....

My dad had a partnership in a marketing firm in the 1970's, so that's why I know this stuff......

By 'reverse out', I mean the effect of 'drawing' in whitespace on a solid marker 'background'. Looks unique and sorta confounding. Look at the 'skull' and 'die' logo in your first drawing with Olivia, for an example.....

Actually; the crayola markers place rather high in the 'best deal for a dollah' sweepstakes. Sixteen different pens, and they work rather well for a dollar or a dollar-and-a-half. I bought a couple of sets that had both the magic 'colour changer' and 'colour eraser' pen a while back, and that is teh bossest thing ever. Do they still make those?......

I see you've used the colour 'eraser', but do they still have the colour changer ? Draw on blue it turns yellow, draw on violet it turns pink, green to aqua, and the like?.....

um I'm sure crayola does but they're harder to come by. But I remember back in like...... 2000 they came out with these ones called.......... marvins magic markers (that's what they're called) and they lasted a good long time and they even had the ones that erase. After a while when they were running I smashed in the top and then I took out the bottom and blew inside the end and it had the same effect as a regular air brush thing.

it wasn't an eraser more or less white out. Anyways. Nah I don't think crayola makes those but u might have a better chance finding marvins magic markers. Or the new craze blendy pens . Marvins actually had. Red turns to yellow (vise versa) black turns to pink. Light blue turns to a sea foam green. Dark blue turns to light blue. Green turns to purple (vise versa) and yeah very interesting.

@frouwke- that just gives me all the more reason not to buy them

Thanks.... I'll keep an eye out for Marvin's Markers. And the Blendies . Sounds boss. I just happened to buy a close-out selection of Crayolas that had the two 'magic pens'. I think they were made on contract by Marvin for Crayola before they made 'em under their own name.....

And I'm not that old. My dad is that old.....
