Promo image for my upcoming book, Polterguys.

Berkeleyians will recognize our famous Sather Gate behind them. I had a lot of fun with this composition. :D

And this makes the third major copic marker piece for the year. Need to do more! Gotta get better!

This one was done with copics but I did fix up all my drawing mistakes in Photoshop along with my tablet. Ultimately, it's not about the programs or the tools but the way you present them. :) There are a bunch of free programs available online! Feel free to google them up.

oooooooooooh you're getting better and better at those copic markers yaaay.

Blending wise there's still some streak issues there (do you still have the colorless blender pen in your set?). Also when you color try following the form and volume of what you're coloring in mind instead of just going back and forth because then the streaks end up flattening the picture. (eg Bree's shirt and Frankie's jacket). A last nit pick is just the twin's white streaks and simon's light colors are blending against the white clouds. An easy way to fix that would be to put some of the blue sky around them so they're separate from the white.

Apart from that- asdhaslqpcks so cool to see them in full color and them clothes and folds (Bree's scarf was well done) and then of course that crazy ornate gate.

Overall- I cannot, cannot wait to see this finished *w*
