That is true. I'm just so stressed with how much I have to do and my opening show for Art is Next Wednesday and we are just figuring out what to put in the show and have to go back and work on it again.
I can understand that. I kind of find artwork for art class to be the hardest to do since I kind of feel like it's a little pressured.
I'm sure your art must look nice!
I use copic markers for the skin, they are the only ones that blend really well and have the perfect colors for skin tones, but they are pricy.
You can use crayola markers to color skin, but to get different values in the shading you'll have to use some water, which can be a little harder.
here is a tutorial if you want to take a look at it: Link
another alternative you can do is use colored pencil to color skin and use marker to color everything else, that's what I use to do before I for copics.
if you want to take a look at how I color using marker, I made this walkthrough, though I'm still missing the skin part....oTL

JEN!!!! XD I'm glad I was able to post! XD the scanner was acting bad, but it's fixed now! XD
Thank You! I'm happy I was able to draw the two where they are getting along! XD
The coloring was fun though I did get stuck on it on some parts, but it was a good stress release!
thank you very much! I had a lot of fun with the background since I felt it was kind of different. XD
Yes their outfit were kind of a pain since I was doing the strips, that was mostly what made it kind of hard! XD

Looks really good :D Copics for the skin, huh? I've been thinking of using traditional media for coloring drawings; how do you go about coloring the skin with markers?
This is amazing Toya!!! I got so excited that u posted *U* and now I'm just in awe of this drawing... Yay for Rai and Zen in the same artwork!! ^_^ U did a super job here, they look just perfect together with that lovely background! Its so cool that u did this all in markers, this has to be one of my new favourite artworks <3 I'm really happy it all came together for u, and u had fun! I bet it was a bit of a stress reliever too! I'm very happy ur back ^_^
As always, like the vibrant and bold colors :)You drew their pose well and they look very proportionate too. The background looks cool with the patterns colors and the railing.Nice job with their outfits too, they are so detailed and must have required some intense concentration.

They do. This semester for art I've been really hard on myself with my artwork and don't really like a lot of my art that I have done for my class.
