I just figured out why the coloring on my #3 and #4 of my series looks like shit.... It's been done for a while but I was very disappointed in how they came out. That's why I haven't posted them yet. But.... I just now realized WHY they came out so horrible...

The special Marker paper I use that makes markers like my Copics blend really well when I use them? .... I was drawing on the wrong side of it.... Apparently something like that mattered, and I had no idea.

And here I was, I thought I suddenly sucked, or there was something wrong with my markers, like they 'BROKE' somehow... I dunno, I was clueless. I was like, "WHY IS IT STREAKING LIKE THIS!!! IT LOOKS LIKE SHIT!!! AHRRGHHHH!!!!"

So... wtf should I do? Post these horrid things? Or redo them completely?

I.... am at least glad to know why it looked like shit though... Not knowing was holding me back... I thought I was the problem. I didn't want to start on any new pieces until I knew what was wrong with me. Well I'm glad it wasn't me. Just my ignorance. And knowing is half the battle!
