Another step by step taken by Instagram. (I'm Kilaq in Instagram if anyone would want to watch me there out of boredom)
It was done by Copic markers (oh by the way, before you go with all "you are so lucky to buy/have so many colors of copics!!"- those were collected by every piece and small sets for years. Most of them are almost ran out, I wish I could afford to replace :/.) and on the last photo is white paint touch-up. Also small anatomy note from Terryl Whitlatch: "In general in four-legged animals the front paws or hoofs are a bit larger than the hind, because the forelegs bear the weight of the body (heart,lungs, skull, etc.) while the hind limbs provide momentum and power when in motion. The size ratio of the paws to the legs doesn't bother me--you have precedence in Great Danes and lions." I was unsure how much we are able to adjust the size ratio with paws while designing quadrupled creature before I learned that note. In answer, it gives you a freedom permission of biological functionable animal to have larger front paws than the rest while creating creature design.
On first photo (photo, not finished creature drawing) outlined in blue is primary idea of that creature, below is original sketch traced on thick transparent paper. Also I had bone anatomy of that creature sheet but it got lost with piles of sheets and trash :/
I have always wondered how good work was done with markers, although I still think that you are doing witchcraft on paper somehow, some of the mystery has been unmasked. So so awesome for you to post this! (Thank you from a curious novice!)
thats so cray cray! i just got a set of prismacolours for my program and i cant ever imagine doing something like this! markers are just...so unforgiving lol
If you use so much copic markers over eachother, isn't the copic marker going to have dark spots on it? You know that suddenly he isn't giving a yellow colour but a orange colour or so.
If that makes any sense xD.
