Very nice. Now, I just have a quick question. What would you personally recommend along the lines of an inking pen and good markers for someone on a budget? I don't ink often because I suck at it, and I need a brand of marker that doesn't do that bleeding in/overlayering crap other cheap markers do. I need a brand that gives me a nice, solid color, with an inking pen that's good for people with an unsteady hand.
~Adri Ack!;; So sorry for the late answer, I was sure I had already replied to you. ^^;;;;;;
Anyway... hmmmm. A budget, huh? Well, all decent inking pens cost pretty much the same.. about $2.50-4 is usually the range. And you'll only need a few of those, so I wouldn't worry about the cost. :3 Also, all of the pens I mentioned in the tutorial are water/markerproof, so no worries. ^__~ (It's always good to test new pens first, though.)
And as for having an unsteady hand... I'd probably go with a felt-tipped pen, like Sakura Microns or Deleter or Copic Multiliners. They don't slide as easily as a ball-point pen, so you can better control where they go, and you can press harder than you would be able to with a fountain pen.
And for markers, the new(ish) Copic Ciao ones would be my first recommendation. They're about $3.90 each. (Regular Copics are usually around $5 each) the only difference between them and the other Copics is that they're a bit smaller, (so they run out faster, but that's no problem if you buy refills, which last for years and years) and they don't work with the Copic airbrush system. Neopiko markers by Deleter are $3.50, but you can't get refills or new nibs for them, so if you plan to use your markers often, the Ciaos would be cheaper in the end. ^^ And to get them even cheaper, you could try Ebay or go to

I hope that helps. And I hope you see it. Sorry. 9__9;;
