Description #46 - Star. Isn't it convenient that the hilt guard of his sword is a star? I know the hilt guard looks like that in bankai, and I *think* shikai, which is what his sword is in the pic. If it doesn't look like that in shikai, meh *shrug*

This is my first try with copics I really suck with traditional media!!! But these markers are so nifty I used every color copic I had, plus 3 prismacolors because I didn't have enough copics. So pricey! So yeah, Amanda and markers do not mix, but hopefully that will change...

Drawn in pencil, inked with Sakura micron pens (0.005, 0.03, and brush pen), and colored with Copics and Prismacolors

Some various manga pics used as reference.

"I'm going to kill you now..."

We all know that's what he's saying. With any luck he's talking to Aizen.

I use it to fill in large areas of black mostly. And if I feel like attempting Kanji or Hiragana

ahh ok i get it, so for this star pic, you would use the brush pen for the inner layer of his taichou outfit right?

begger4mcgregor In reply to xHINATA [2007-02-09 06:11:37 +0000 UTC]

Right you are I use a Sakura brush pen to fill in Sakura micron inked lines because believe it or not, I've had problems in the past with different black pens having different colors of black! And the brush pen is so convenient for filling in large areas.

begger4mcgregor In reply to xHINATA [2007-02-10 07:23:31 +0000 UTC]

It's not always a huge deal. I mostly have trouble with markers being different blacks. If it is a little different, you can just up the contrast in PS and it will all look the same color anyway

Yup, that's them Sakura micron pens. I have a brush pen and 1 mm, 0.35 mm and 0.20 mm pens. I'd recommend them That's not a bad price for them either

xHINATA In reply to begger4mcgregor [2007-02-08 04:46:33 +0000 UTC]

Great! I got them! Thanks alot!
Oh and by the way...how do you use them? LOL
With my reasoning abilities, I would think id have to ink the parts i wanted to be thin with the 005 first, and then overlap it with a 01 or bigger if i wanted some parts of it to be gradually thicker right?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

begger4mcgregor In reply to xHINATA [2007-02-08 18:05:31 +0000 UTC]

I use 005 almost all the time because I feel like the fine tip gives you the most control. When I want the line to be thicker at a section I use the 005 to draw a line where the other side of the thick part will be, then fill it in. I do that instead of using a thicker pen because I find that it's hard to not leave a thick dot where you start thickening the thin line. Sorry it this make no sense, I'm a little sick today, and possibly delirious The method you described would definitely work in theory, and most likely faster, but I don't have a steady enough hand to pull it off. As you know from my tutorials, I do everything the longest and most difficult way

xHINATA In reply to begger4mcgregor [2007-02-09 04:26:36 +0000 UTC]

hahaha thats true with the steady hand thing LOL
I have no definte work place for where I do my art so I can't get my lines to be perfect 100% of the time [thank god for pencils! ], so I think your method sounds just fine!....
hmm..but in that case, then you probably would have much need of any other pens besides 005 if you use that to thicken your lines too right?

begger4mcgregor In reply to xHINATA [2007-02-09 06:08:19 +0000 UTC]

You are quite right. I use 005 almost exclusively to ink most stuff, but I have a couple thicker ones around for when I want lines of clothes or something to be thicker, and to fill in dark areas, because I must conserve my precious 005 pens

btw, your icon is so freakin' cute, just sayin'

xHINATA In reply to begger4mcgregor [2007-02-09 15:45:29 +0000 UTC]

I think I'm starting to get this, but i hope i can actually do it successfully when the time comes lol, not like first-person shooter games where I love to watch people play it, but when I try to play it I always get slaughtered so quickly..

And thanks for the icon comment!...I wanted to make a subtle animated one for a while, but i couldn't come up with any ideas until I drew my chibi Urahara! You can check out the devitation here! [link]

I'm the same way with 1st person shooters. My friends like James Bond, Perfect Dark and Halo, and I suck at all of them! They're still fun though

I saw that one Sorry I didn't comment. I tend to lurk, it's a bad habit of mine. That picture is really cute though

I looked at the Pearl Paint across the street from my college and there were a very limited amount and no black or 005 so i didnt bother to buy any

Sadness! No 005!!! That's the one I use the most! I have killed sooooo many 005 black pens from using them to death Your college doesn't have a student store with an art section for the art majors?

I go to a business college so..., but there's an Art college right down the block and all those students get their supplies from Pearl Paint, thats why there are none left...the guy working there said the brush pens should come in two weeks T.T'

Oooo, copics! Very good, especially for your first time using them. I don't really use markers that much, but one thing I do know is to use a smooth thick paper like bristol board, but you probably already did that. What do you mean can't do traditional media? This is great! The one bit of concrit I have is that there isn't a shadow on the right of his face.

I actually had no clue what kind of paper to use I'll have to get some bristol board is seems. Ah right you are. I totally spaced! Silly me. I wish my darker skin tone wasn't so pink. It makes it look like he's wearing eye shadow. I'll try and remember next time though. Thanks
