[kitsunekami]

i am praying that i'm not breaking any rules... ok, how do people color their pictures without using a computer prgram. i have seen various pictures that are colored traditionally but i can't tell what medium n such. please help. i feel extremely stupid.

They usualyy ink their drawings with fountain pens, you can get them at almost any craft store but you have to buy the colored ink seperatly

[color=darkblue][size=1]Traditionally coloured pictures are usually done with Copic markers, coloured pencils or watercolor paints/pencils. Copic markers can be found at any art store or online, though I do believe they cost about $3.95 USD per marker.[/color][/size]

[kitsunekami]

yes, copic markers are very expensive. colored inks? um, how would do shading?

[Kei]

[color=darkblue][size=1]To do shading with coloured inks, you simply have to choose a darker color than your base and color over it. Of course, doing this without mistakes takes lots of practice, which is why many people make several copies of one image before doing any kind of colouring.[/color][/size]
