It's colored! With a background! I swear it doesn't look this streaky in real life.

the colors are amazing in this, and I love the outlined flowers. I definately have to devote a lot of time this summer to starting up with my markers again. You should make another tut to help me.

Dude, I've already made like....two. At this point, I don't know what exactly you're having trouble with. Is there a specific problem you're having? you can always ask me how I did something in any peice I post, and I'll be happy to try and explain it for you. I'm afraid that even if I did a tutorial on every thing I put up here, they'd still all sound exactly the same.

Maybe I just need more practice, but everytime I try to get lovely blended colors they turn out just a mess, too intense and blocking out all of the layers I carefully tried to preserve. ahhhhh.

hmm

for the blending problem, might I suggest only using one intense, highly saturated color? On the dress, I used one deep purple, with mahogany shadows first. After that it was mostly mid to light greys, light peaches, and light pinks. If i had put down more saturated colors, yeah it would have been a hideous mess. Markers really demand a lot of agonizing study over how color interacts with itself; it's not a short term thing. Keep trying though!

Sweet ^_^ And literally so. the way you use prismacolors looks so yummy I want to eat it. I love the sheen-y effect you've achieved in the dress, especially. And the cut out little shapes round her head and foot are fun. Cool ^_^
