Remember that sketch I did a while ago? The one for my own fic... Well, this is what I puddled in while I was away. And a closeup of Ron so you can see his stubble properly. :~) Done using Copic Markers with finishing touches done in Photoshop.
Holy cow copic marker 0.o ok in seriouse awe, becuase I would have guessed acylic. It looks painted (granted marker is a wet medium, but still) Can I ask what color you used to achive those skin tones? It looks like some form of blue of brown but I can't pplace a brown that is that subtle.
It looks so amazing. And, how on earth did you get Ron's hair so fine? Or was that part of the photoshop touch up? (Or is this picture much larger in real life?)
Skin colours - I always tend to stick with 'skin white' as the base colour, although with this pic I was working on cartridge paper (the original sketch in my visual diary), which carries the markers differently to the paper I usually work on. The 'skin white' came out much more orange on the cartridge paper I found and needed lots of toning down. 'Dull Ivory' is one of my favourites for darker skin shadows, and the bluish tones were a 'wash' of 'Pale Lavender' or 'Mauve Shadow'. Can't remember which. :~P Other colours used - 'Clay, Blush, Barely Beige, Buttercup Yellow', and 'Caramel' was what I used for Ron's hair. And of course my favourite marker, which is the Colourless Blender. As for the fineness of Ron's hair, it's mostly Copic. The only photoshopping in his hair was the highlights - the 'white' strands of hair. The pic was A5 (5.5"x8"). Hope that's a help? :~D
