A 5 years old inked sketch, that for YEARS I wished to come back to. I used different body proportions back then (not false one... more teenaged one)... Before working on it, I had to make sure the original was safe. It was a A5, but had an astonishing amount of details (2016 me was sure inspired!). Recently I bought a printer ; a BAD one but I deal with it, the only thing I'm asking it is to print "blueprints" to re-ink on. I should have started by a re-ink, but the color came first, and I added colorised thin markers in slight toutches, where should have been put an inking, for some needed "highlightening" places. It had this much layers of colors that the initial "bluesketch" is no longer visible ^^. I'm not confident yet with this kind of coloring technic, but the result deserve second tries. And the color chosen were from me this time, but wisely chosen, upon completion. #traditionnal #markers #markerpen #coloringtechniques #colortechniques #testart #arttechniques #testcolors #colortests #coloringtest #oriental #orientaldance #sworddance #orientalfashion #traditionalcostume #colorpalettes #heatcolors #orientalgirl #orientaldancer #backlight #backlightcolors #artworks #mangastyle https://www.instagram.com/p/CKmOaXPjgPa/?igshid=1c33pew28ylp6
