Wow! everything's perfect on this picture, colors, linework, shadowing and all. Not to mention it's all in mareker. I'm working on getting my skills this good with a marker. easier done with charcoal and crayon for me since the ink doesn't bleed over layers.

Ah, but when you work in marker, you WANT the colours to bleed, so that you can blend them. If you've ever worked with aquarelles (water colour) you can understand a bit what I mean.

Thanks for the comments! :)

ah yes, I've worked with water paint plenty of times, basically what I do on the regular basis, but the reason it seems quite different to me is because the markers seems to bleed too easily for me [heavy inking], sometimes to the point of bleeding through my art paper [sketchwise, not canvas]....perhaps it's just the markers I used. They do make pretty good shaders for scenery though.

That's a nice resemblence. Like to see her in your style.
