I finally dug out my Copics after 2 years of artistic redundancy and tried to draw a picture. NOPE. As you can see, I now don't recommend not drawing for 2 years to anybody = =' Does anyone here use Copics (or any ink markers) regularly and would like to share some wisdom on control? I'm about to cry.... I thought I wouldn't deteriorate so fast at this but AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

That awkward and extremely sad moment when you realise you could probably never even dream to draw like that -.-
Sadly I don't have much wisdom to share in this subject... I can only bow... *Bows*.... xD

UPDATE~ I bought a new Copic marker yesterday to test my theory and i have concluded that at least half the reason for my failing is because
a) I was drawing on rough sketchpad paper and b) My markers are from 2011
So I shall now shift the blame onto my material (like rei blames his speedos) and refuse to acknowledge the fact that i probably can no longer draw anything decent ><'
AND SENPAI DON'T BOW OMG PLEASE DON'T BOW please find me the equivalent to the butterfly stroke in drawing so i can not fail.

Do markers from 2011 still work after all these years? O.o That in itself is impressive I'd say? xD Lol, no worries xD I feel like Fukuda when Nizuma took first place and he was left way down the ladder.... except... I'm not a manga artist *Cries* xD I have to say though, you seem quite talented Keep Drawing! xD I'm pretty sure your work will get even better!!

Never underestimate Japanese markers... they are made like Nokia phones. Okay the ink is probably past its shelf life but they live!
I might go back into the cave of black and white for the time being though, and see if I can put a small doodle on the fanart thread this week.

That's really impressive~ I don't know how to use color markers at all //would probably fail kindergarden if they had an exam on how-to-use-markers Somehow my markers always end up burning a hole through the page... &&I think that's still a good return to drawing after not doing so for 2 years. I can barely draw stick figures now after not touching a pencil for just as long. Lol. I really want to get back to drawing again but everytime I try to sketch something the result is too depressing. hahaha orz

Ah pencils are great things that can be corrected over and over again.... I got asked to draw left-handed with a ball-point pen the other day.
Never again. lol

no, it simply means not being able to draw with either, which puts both hands on the same level.... lol

Then I must be at God-tier now, having not unleashed my potential since primary Jokes aside, that's a really good drawing melissa!! And yeah, I'm really late to the party, quoting the first post lol.

Oh I just meant that you're drawing is really good, despite your original comment "As you can see, I now don't recommend not drawing for 2 years to anybody = ='". Weren't you refering to your drawing skills deteriorated from having not drawn in ages? My jab was that I reckon it's still awesome.
