For all the artists out there

Youre telling me I threw away 10 dollar markers FOR NOTHING

REBLOG to save a life and a wallet!

Plus copics are actually refillable and you can buy more colored ink online for pretty cheap!

So yeah dont throw out copics.

Omg that hurts me that people threw away such expensive markers. Omg. I have like $400 worth of those things

The fact that they’re refillable is something I really want to stress, here!

Copics are very pricey upfront, but a refill costs around the same price as the marker. That single refill can fill your marker up like, 10 times. 

So lets say you pay $5 per marker. If you toss them and replace them, there goes $55 per color.

If you were to just refill them, you’re out of pocket like, $10 by comparison. 

The nibs are also replaceable!

My favorite place to get ink refills is Imagination International. They have every color of Copic available and each size including a bunch of accessories. A bottle of ink has about five refills (at least) goes for $9.

So you could spend $35 on five different markers or $14 for one and bottle of ink.

BONUS: They also sell IC screentone! Their variety is huge, the sheets are large (10×14 at least), and the prices are fair! I’ve really been enjoying IC’s stuff.

HERE’S A LINK TO THEIR WEBSITE
QUICK LINK TO THEIR COPIC STORE
QUICK LINK TO THEIR IC STORE (home of many traditional manga supplies)

Shipping is fair and fast, and their website also serves as a remarkable resource for artists who need tips or just want to print out some coloring pages.

Side note: They’re based in Eugene, OR, too, which is home to my alma mater and makes me love them even more! (Go Ducks!)

Hair Tip #1 – When drawing hair, start with the hairline and hair part(s). Then keep the flow and volume in mind while you add details!

I’m not the best at drawing or painting hair, but someone on instagram requested that I make a post about it so hopefully this will help someone! This is the first of 3 tips I’m going to share.

Tuesday Tips – Cape It Simple!

I don’t need to add too much explanation today. A cape, cloak or long coat simplifies the silhouette of most character, gives them a unique look or presence and conceals a lot of the overall anatomy. Keep track of the character underneath to know where to fold, drop or stretch the fabric. The fabric itself should play a role too. Different behave differently. Movement and gravity are key to “ground” your character in the environment and make it look believable.

Some sample pages from Andrew Loomis’s series on how to draw comics, 1939-1961, concerning perspective and composition. (The changes in font and layout stem from the fact the pages come from different prints.)

I tried to collect the most useful pages, but of course I’m limited to only 10 images per post.

This is a follow-up of sorts of the Disney “how to draw comics” handouts I posted earlier, and which can be found HERE.
