I was fooling around last week(and I mean real, desultory, aimless doodling), browsing the internet and looking at some photos online simultaneously. I spied a friend's photo of his wife, which was a very nice snap, and grabbing some printer paper, drew her in a sort of reverse-tablet scenario. Pretty crummy--so I flipped the paper over and, not looking at the photo but instead at the faint bleed through of the Copic marker, drew a flopped one. Not much better, but I still think it has personality(and that's not a compliment to me, but to the original photograph and of course, the original person).
Then I got annoyed as yet another Copic marker was fizzling out on me...so as it lay dying I drew this other thing with both barely-there ends.
I sure do love these markers, but I make a mess of refilling them so they don't last long for me.
Here's another tablet/alias doodle of the same girl-my impression of her,that is.

Fun lovely drawings!
The flop has a ghostly aspect to it. Haven't tried to refill a Copic yet, but they sure are unbeatable in what they do. My experiences with Koh-I-Noor Rapidographs were messy enough on occasion, mostly when cleaning 'em - the inks would transfer from the pens to my hands like an offset running at full speed - I'm not inclined to refill anything for a while yet.
Needless to say fresh work. It's always a pleasure stopping by.
If you like the Copic so much, I can also suggest the Pentel color brush #101 it does wonderful pure black lines, it doesn't even bleed through copy paper, and to refill it you just get a new cartridge. I've even used it to do clean up, it really has a wide range of line quality that you can get out of it. I had a great time playing with it.
Well, well, well...Nice work!
Beautiful charm to these sketches...very cute and pretty, rather than the ususal sexy "male" version.

I must say, I really dig your line quality. So expressive.
If only markers lasted forever...
beautiful and loose as usual!
your work is so inspiring!
