Coloring a Manga Character with Copic Sketch Markers (Part1)

Have you ever wanted to create beautiful, vibrant manga characters like you see in books and magazines? Using Copic Sketch markers, you can!

In this first part of a three-part tutorial, I’ll demonstrate how to create  beautiful skin tones using only a few colors. In parts 2 - 4 I’ll complete the hair, kimono and background.

To learn more about creating characters like these, also check out my Drawing a Manga Figure tutorial!

I use only the brush end of these dual-ended markers, to get a nice, gentle blend between multiple colors.

Here are the colors used in this tutorial:

E00 Skin White
E02 Fruit Pink
E13 Light Suntan
R43 Bougainvillaea
B00 Frost Blue

Watch the rest of the videos:
Part 2 - The Hair
Part 3 - The Kimono
Part 4 - The Background
