*sigh* >< this is my second tutorial, the first that I've posted.....I'm very confused as to why in the tut category there is only categories for computer programs. as if one cannot give a tutorial in painting or drawing with traditional media? What the hell.

I made this in response to my very good friend, Katie Nonemaker, who is getting a full set of prismacolor markers for her high school graduation gift. Since prismacolor markers are my medium of choice, and because she's only really used watercolor and colored pencil up until now, I decided to make a tutorial. This is an original character....as you can see, I like this hairstyle a lot, but rest assured, it's not me. ^^. Though there's something to be said about making all your characters dress like you....hmmm....it's more like I dress like my characters, actually. Anyways, this tutorial is geared towards prismacolor marker on drawing paper. Hopefully somebody will learn something....

Oh yeah. The cute anime eyes are not my typical style, but they're easier to talk about than what I normally do, so on they go.
