Description I'M SO SORRY THAT MY MARKERS ARE TERRIBLE!!!

I also apologize for not being in the lines a bit with the grass bg, but the other side of the marker wasn't working. 
Say, did you know that when a Prismacolor marker dies, it just becomes pretty much pure alcohol?  At least, I think that's what it was when I tried to do the sky...just an overwhelming alcohol stench and no light blue color.

That's why there's no blue in the sky, because the only light blue marker I had is the one I used on Kairy's hair, and I didn't want his hair to blend in with the background.

And, I suxxors at camo pants.  >.>
TJ is supposed to be holding a frog, but it's hard to see it with the limited colors I had to work with (so many of them blend in with one another).  His hair also isn't the right color, but I didn't have anything which could have produced the proper "dirty blond" that his haircolor is.

I have cheap markers and a couple Prismacolor ones.  They're all very old, so it's amazing they've lasted this long.
...I still hate using alcohol-based markers, but I don't really see much of a point of buying water-based ones when I prefer grayscale (or black & white) shading or using Photoshop to color.  Inktober is more than halfway over, and I can't really see myself learning techniques for color markers.  Grayscale and Black/White, yes...though I still prefer my HB pencils for grayscale shading.
Color...not so much.

Besides that, I'm not good at coloring within the lines. 


Disclaimer:  None this time; I own both characters.  Kairy is in the left, and Toby (TJ) Yeoman is on the right.

I also prefer using pencils for grayscale shading when I draw on paper. I also prefer using photoshop to do the coloring :3
Even if you used very old markers, I love how this turned out! ^-^

Thanks!

Yea...there's something that's just interesting about HB pencils, though I can't figure out what.

Doing lighter/darker lines (shading for example) is way easier to do than with another drawing tool.. x)
Also, it's erasable!
Yeah, there are erasable pens, but it's really not the same. I can't draw lighter lines at all with pens.
