I draw and color a cover for my creator-own book, "Lola XOXO" volume 3 Issue 2, with Copic Markers and Watercolors.
The comic book is now available on my official shop:
siyaoumshop.com/collections/l...
This list is from a previous cover, but the supplies are the same for most of my art.
SUPPLY LIST:
Please visit my official site for this supply list - www.siyaoum.com/coloring-a-co...
Please comment below if you have any questions! Thanks for watching as always.

Awesome video .. love watching the process, use of different 'tools' (brush pen, copics, paint etc) on the one piece of work ... also loved the insights and commentary - one thing which especially resonated for me was using paper / receipts / anything!! to draw on even if it's 5 minute breaks!! Oh, the artwork is fantastic as well 😊

Absolutely gorgeous piece. I'm slowly catching up on your older videos during lunch breaks at work and really enjoying learning more about the process. The fact that you are using traditional (paper) art rather than digital, even though it may take more time, the benefits are a more beautiful and detailed finished product, plus you could sell the original art as another source of revenue. Wouldn't the digital artists lose that source of revenue even though they may gain a speed advantage? Hope you are enjoying the journey with Dragon's Glacier and that you are happy with your progress. Also really looking forward to Neo Wonderland as Blade Runner and Ghost in the Shell and those kind of stories are my jam. Looking forward to the next update!

Fantastic cover . I was just geeking out on your art supplies . The preppy pen mostly lol . I'm in a fountain pen phase , so far my favorite is also my cheapest one , a kakuno in ef . I'm surprised that you use so many different media together , markers , watercolor etc .I can never get myself to do that , if I start out painting in gouache it's all gouache , if I draw it's always pencil ink watercolor. You blend it all together so well it's hard to tell just by looking where one medium stops and another starts .

I just wanted to say that i love watching your process because your style is absolutely amazing!! Quick question, do you have any issues with your micron or copic pens bleeding on eon comic boards? ive had that issue with other boards and ive been seriously considering eon boards but im afraid of having that issue happen again. Again, amaing work! and i look forward to what you come out with next! oh and will you be attending NYCC this year in artists alley?

@SiyaOum 3 жыл бұрын
Thank you so. much Hector! As for the Copic Markers bleeding, do you mean around the edges? What tip size do you generally use? If there is any sort of clear sheen or coat on the paper it won't absorb the ink as quickly. The Eon paper is great for ink work, as that's what they were designed for. Eon left a comment on this video you can probably ask him directly. I myself haven't had problems with smearing. I won't be at any cons for at least another year until I finish my new project. :)

@@SiyaOum thank you for the reply siya! Yes I used to use the blue line pro brand of boards and whenever I pressed my micron pens down I would get an instant star effect and it would bleed which would make my page unusable after it. But I noticed when you use your pens on eon boards, that’s not an issue that’s why I asked. I have to say, your copic coloring is amazing and I aspire to reach the level that you have reached and I look forward to all of your new works!!
