Sailor Moon Color Fanart + Marker Tutorial

Recorded a COPIC marker tutorial while I was coloring this Sailor Moon image I drew below! Hope you enjoy!

A few Q&A about this method:
I’m using COPIC SKETCH markers, Prismacolor white pencil and white Sakura gellyroll pen. Paper used is just basic cheap copy paper (which intentionally bleeds a lot).

The reason I don’t color directly on the original artwork is because if you color directly onto pencil, the pencil will bleed black into the marker color.

I don’t ink on a separate page because I like the look of the pencil lines, and I also find that doing the final line on a separate page looses some of the energy of the original rough sketch. Also, by keeping the lineart separate, I can modify the colors of it in photoshop if I want (like some lines can be blue, etc…)
