@toyotami kun:

I beg to differ. Some nose definition (you can see his nostril, not just the outline of his nose!), more accurate facial proportions compared to the head, a slightly realistic face shape, not just the pointy chins of anime styles. You might not have meant to make it less anime and more realistic, but it's definitely not 100% anime!

@toyotami kun:

I use mostly Prismacolor markers, but I have a couple Copics.

@kita mikichi:

I'll see if I can get my hands one some! btw what kind of markers do you use?

@Eneko:

Thanks Eneko! But I didn't really do anything semi-realistic on this.

@toyotami kun:

Canson marker paper is what I usually use other than bristol -- that's pretty good. The marker comes out looking smooth, a bit like watercolor.

Man, Toyo, you've gotten so great at the semirealistic facial features! Loving the way you drew his hair, too.

@kita mikichi:

I did try it! Sadly when the markers dried, it made that weird texture I don't like.

Have you tried bristol? I think that's a lot like comic board. There's also a paper made specifically for markers.
