Fail! :/

Dear Patrons, you all know how much I was excited to  color the pin-up in bikini with the copic markers, and make a video process ... but sometime it can happen to fail ... and that's what happened to me! :/

I made a file, which you will find attached to this post, where I show what happened with the images. 

In other words, the paper was not suitable for coloring with markers, but  in my defense ... this paper was sold to me as good also to color with the Copic from a retailer at a booth at the last comicon Romics, in Rome. It's a block of sheets for manga pages instead -_-

You will see in the images of the attachment that I was so disappointed by the result that I got depressed and I decided not to continue. I will color these drawings in digital. 

I do not like it, it's not what I wanted and it's not what I usually get  :(

I use the felt-tip markers to color from a lifetime and this effect is really wrong, it's a flaw. 

I do not want to waste the tools to have a bad result.  

First of all I'm coloring pinups in digital, you'll have them anyway! Secondly, I will continue to practice on other types of paper until I find the good technique I want to use. 

I want to create beautiful drawings for you, you deserve the best from me!

V.

PS: See you tomorrow with the new colored page!! :D

Fail! :/ Fail! :/

You are right Kanbe! I totally agree with you, thanks for the nice words of encouragement! :D

Yes! I do not worry about falling a few times, I learn from mistakes and I can improve, you have to be positive and try again, I'll be luckier next time ;)

Vanessa San

You are right! If the paper is not suitable for the tools the result can be very disappointing.

Like Krystian and Todoxas said, this sucks that the paper failed to blend the alcoholic markers color. :( In honesty, I didn't see the problems when you compared your marker drawing to the digital version. It wasn't until I looked at the "PBB fail" file and I saw your comments. Plus, when I zoomed in on the marker spots, I finally understood what you were saying about the pin-up. D: I can't wait to see the swimsuit pin-ups nevertheless. :D But like what Todoxas said, the pics will be beautiful regardless. ^-^ And about drawing on paper: I say keep at it! But do it because you enjoy doing it. :) I (and all your other supporters here) would love to see more of your marker & paper drawings. ^o^ Not to mention with suggestions, like what Krystian suggested, you'll find the perfect paper in no time. :3

It sucks when it happens. But it's often for the best. For how can we learn if we don't fail every now and then? Regardless of how these will turn out. I guarantee they will still be as awesome and beautiful as all of the other wonderful pics that have come before.

Yeah I hate when this happens. I don't use markers as much as I used to mainly because I need special paper, although I recently found a supply of good aquarelle paper for relatively cheap. It also works pretty well on photo paper.
