Description
I do so much greyscale copic marker work, I thought I would post a color marker piece I just completed, just to show I *can*.
This is pretty much a straight 1920s/30s pinup thing, but there was so much, I don't know, joy in the works of artists like Petty and Elvgren. 11x14, Copic markers & white ink.
This'll be the cover of a sketchbook of mine, and I plan to have the original art above for sale at Heroes Con if anyone wants to stop by and buy it.

Huh... well that's a curios spazzyface expression she's got there... nice classically captured costume though, though I also wonder why her utility belt is so loose...

I really like your work with this one. It's very well rendered.

This is amazing! I love the pose and the overall anatomy! The colours are vibrant and full of life, pretty much like her entire attitude! Congratulations!

Sweet. I love everything about this one. What kind of white ink?
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
A white acrylic ink. I use a small brush to apply in strokes or dabs. It's very thin, so I let it set a bit before I start working with it, or apply multiple coats.

Very cool. I'd been using small dabs of white acrylic paint, and then white charcoal pencil, but I'm loving your results with the ink. I shall have to try.

I think it's gorgeous. Your color marker work is phenomenal. The layered color on her cape and Bat symbol really make her pop off the page. It gives her a real sense of dimension. The blacks and "shine" are perfect, and it looks like it has a real texture.
My only nit picking comment would be her mouth. It's either too stylized to go with the rest of her or too big. Something just seems a little off with it.
All that gibberish aside - It's beautiful. I wish I was going to Heroes Con, so I could buy it!

Thank you very much! If it doesn't sell there I'll be sure to post its availability on DA!

Your welcome..and please do! I love your color work. I know you do commissions...but are you open to full color ones like that? My girlfriend would LOVE that Batgirl or something like it... (course I wouldn't mind it either

I'd be happy to discuss a color commission. Contact me after Heroes Con, since I'm not going to have the time to work on anything unrelated to the show until then.

Awesome dynamic pin up and the coloring looks top notch!

Your color,line work and composition are pretty good but the anatomy needs some work. Most noticeably around the hips. Her hands are a little manish as well.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Thanks for the thoughtful comment. I honestly don;t see the anatomy problem around the hips, but you are right about the hands-- I was my own hand model and I guess it shows.

You're welcome
I'm always open to it myself. I don't hear it much but that sure doesn't mean I don't need it

this is way awsome man

I doubt anyone would argue with me that Copics are definitely the best markers on the market, and brand here actually does make a difference. They are really great. Just keep in mind that you get what you pay for, and they're not cheap. You could also search on youtube or Google and find some good comparisons and tutorials. The sketch card group here on DA (linked to in my profile somewhere under groups...) also have some tutorials that might be helpful

awesome! thanks man. yeah currently i'm using letrasette pro (not sure if i mentioned it before) and i deffinitly see a difference in the final product as far as colour gradiant transitioning and overall quality when compared with pieces that have been done with copics, so i may have to make a switch when i get some dough to do so

wow the expression is great, the eyes follows nice on the page, great use of space. And sucha shock...color! But again great use of shading in color and lines! Fantastic work! but myself... though i can do color enjoy black and white and gratones...haha

Heheh! This is darling and full of spunk. I love it! I feel like jumping on a trampolene. Heheh!
Cute! I love the vibrant colors. I'm so used to your brown tones.

Thanks! I just thought I would switch it up a bit. now, back to the greys...

Awe, I like the vibrant colors.

Oh, I'm sure I'll be doing more. I just feel more capable in greyscale.

You've got some awesome coloring skills. Your tones are amazing but I love your color work, too. I know what you mean. I like to work in inks only but I gotta "finish" some things, too.
