Oh god.. someone teach me how the hell to use markers, please?

The marker background COMPLETELY ruins this. I can't seem to make them even, ever. Well, that and I really.. shouldn't have left all the white around the edges. I might fill that in and reupload.. but the background will still look horrifying and distracting. What I really need to do is buy colored paper and draw on it, rather than making marker backgrounds.

Anyway, I don't know if I really want to explain what spawned this, buy I'll just be brief and say I'm a horrible friend. I can never seem to get treating people well right. Let's just leave it at that.

Yea, markers are pure evil unless they're the really expensive ones and then they're still at least 80% evil. Otherwise, the picture itself is absoultly fantastic, I love it.

yeaah theres never a decent way to get them perfectly smooth. Though, I found that if you use prisma colour markers and then go over them with cool grade greyscale ones (10%) it makes the prisma markers blend more and so they flow better. Ive never tried using my 10% cool grade with normal markers though.

Wow...great picture!
Van looks so thin though! But I just love the colours and the kinda 'dark' feel of the image!
As for markers, I have no idea. I cant use them at all!

I sorta thought the marker in the background actually added to the darkness of the picture. it's very random and spazstic, and it sorta looks cool the way it is now. If you really don't like how it turned out though, maybe you could just add to the background by making darker blue lines slant the oppsite way, or something. I don't know. I think it looks great, though.

Sorry to hear about the friend thing. =/

what kinda markers are you using? you should reall y invest in prismas.. and it these are prismas try an even one way stroke. <3

:iconamrhorselvr:
These are prismas, but the problem is I can't cover the amount of area I want in time before the marker dries, if I do the whole thing in long consistent strokes. So if I do that there'll be lines showing the overlapping of each stroke.. though I guess that'd look better than the strokes going in different directions, so you have a point XD
:iconhalcyonhavoc:
Me and markers have never gotten along
So I can't offer any help in that department xD
Aside from the marker part though, this pic is great
I like the eerie feel and the raven/crow really adds to it
Poor Van looks about ready to keel over D8
