Hi everyone! I'm back from the previous Black & White Tutorial! Here's a tutorial with skin colors, almost the same concept, but a bit different. (sorry if camera quality is really bad, it was night time)



Supplies!

  • Finished drawing
  • Copics
  • Copic colors E00, E11, E13, R20
  • Eraser
  • White pen




Always, Always start with the darkest copic (E13), in case you don't have the blender copic (which I don't, I find it kind of useless.) This depends on where the light is coming from, which for me, its coming on the right side. Use the chisel tip for the edges, since the brush tends to spread a lot.

From then on, you can use E11, a little more, and then E00 for the slightly lightest part of the skin, and R00 to the side of the cheeks.


Hopefully your skin will look like this! If you have a dark skinned character, you can use E18 as the darkest, and then so forth use every other copic exactly how I showed here, and probably where I have it white on this picture, you might want to have E11 for the shiniest of the part of the face.

(My black and White is here too, its a bit more detailed, this was a bit rushed since I've been very busy and I don't have internet at home, I'm doing this in class as we speak LOL)

Black and White Copic TutorialHello everyone! Hikari-chan is at your service! Here I am to show you a B&W Copic Tutorial I did for you guys to learn. Honestly, you can apply this kind of technique with any colors or even digital, because it's almost the same strategy.

To Start, have a finished pencil drawing to ink.

From here on out after you have finished inking the drawing, erase the pencil markings. As you see in the next drawing, pinpoint to where you want your light source to be coming from, as in Lubomierz case, it's coming from the top. Also, when using copic m

Tips and Important Questions from others!

I find Copic skin colors too red and artificial, I personally use muted greens and blues for underpainting shadows, then go over it with colors like putty, dull ivory, eggshell or light grape and similar, using colors from "E" palette as finishing touches here and there. And of course all other colors if needed, depending on overall illustration color palette.


Does anyone have any tips on how to use Letraset Promarkers and what type of papers that are good to use when dealing with Letraset Promarkers? TheTailedArtist

I have personally never worked with Letraset Promarkers, however, they are alcohol based too, so I think it'll be exactly the same. However, I have found some tutorials.

Every alcohol based markers, such as Copic, Promarker, Kurecolor etc. looks the best on marker pad papers. It's really thin kind of paper, it has only 70g/m, so you can mix and blend the colors in really easy way. Canson and Daler Rowney have such papers in their offer.

Promarkers have better color skin set than Copics.
