Happy birthday to the wonderful @calliopius, who is still awesome. <3 (I know you’ve already seen both of these, but here are the scanned copies for the rest of the world to enjoy).

(PS: Do you mind if I use the Cy painting as an example for commissions? I’ll give you & Tree credit for the character, of course.)

AHHHH LOOK AT HIM!! Relaxed and happy, at least for a moment! What a cute stretchy pose~ And your shading is so gorgeous, especially on his mane!! Gosh! Thank you so, so much friend. <333

Gift for @calliopius!

Sorry that you missed the CTP this year, but I still wanted to draw something for you, anyway. Consider it a “thank you for giving me advice on how to run the CTP smoothly” gift. :D

H E C K!!!!! Look at this! Look at her! My gigantic nerd and her oversized personal library and dapper flower-print attire! Gosh, her face shape and hair and general Vibe look really perfect here, and the background and shading are so nice! Thank you so much, friend, you always capture my characters so perfectly. <3

Hi! Would you be alright with sharing what kind of markers and liners you use for your art?

Absolutely!

The pens I use for my lineart are ZIG Memory System Millennium Markers. They’re similar to Micron pens, but they’re more affordable and not as prone to smudging. I usually start by going over the pencil sketch with a size 03 pen, then I thicken the outer lines with size 08 and the inner lines with size 05.

My marker collection is mostly Prismacolors -- the chisel tip, NOT the brush tip! I really like their chisel tip: it’s big, it’s smooth, and it’s sturdy enough to deal with my tendency to press down really hard.

However, Prismacolor’s color selection sometimes leaves a bit to be desired, so I have a few Copics in the mix for colors I just can’t find in Prismacolor. Mostly Copic sketch because color variety. But I don’t really like the Copic tip options (brush tips and I don’t get along, and their chisel tips are too scratchy for my tastes), and they’re crazy-expensive, so Prismas are still my go-to.

P.s. - If you want tips on specific colors to get started, feel free to message me with an idea of what you usually draw (what characters are you likely to draw? do you draw backgrounds? etc.) + what your budget is (so I know how MANY markers you can afford to buy), and I can toss some color suggestions your way!
