These are simply amazing, the coloration is vibrant yet not too wild. Keep doing what you do, because you're doing it right

Hahah the great thing is, it required my darkest markers which I don't typically use. Win!

Really cool! I'm impressed by your use of markers and the quality of your lines <3 I think you must be quite polyvalent. I can see you use volumes quite well, you have some composition skills (maybe you could refined them a little but really not that much), there's a lot of energy too (which for me is one of the most important part) and you're great with colouring!
Really awesome!

Thanks! My schooling helped a lot with understanding form, composition, silhoutte, etc. etc. The hearts composition is garbage I will say that, it's really unbalanced and uneven. Going back I would have repositioned the largest heart and increased the scale for sure. Ink lines and marker skills comes from a long history of using specialty art markers, ShinHan Touch markers were my first but after upgrading to Copics in college I never looked back.

Just curious, what are the approximate sizes of your artworks? You're getting very fine details there with the markers. I often have the feeling that the tips of mine are too thick... or maybe just too old.

I work on a 9x12 Canson pad so I don't feel cramped with my drawings, typically I use 3/4ths to half of the page. Not intentionally, just depends how the drawing turns out.
Pictures below show the scale of the image vs the page.

My markers are the Ciao Copics, which are really great because the tips are thin and flexible. They still bleed though so if I have really fine lines (like the hair on the galaxy god image), I have to almost 'dab' gently and wait as the bleed fills in the rest.
What markers do you use? I don't think age really matters, I have had my original ShinHan set for... probably 13-14 years and they still work fine. I use them in emergencies or if I don't have a certain colour in my Copics set.

Ok, I'm guessing now but I think we're using a similar size paper. I also use copics (sketch) and a big part of them is over 10 years old. Still pretty fine, except for those which dried out because the cap went off during transportation. Bad luck I guess.
Maybe the difference is in that you're working bigger than I am. Or you have more patience. I must say, your artworks really inspire me to try harder and learn more because you're using the same medium I love and have really magnificent results. I want to reach that as well :) Thanks for sharing the photos!

Definitely need a different white pen. The edding I currently have is just not reliable. It either does not release anything at all or splashed out a gigantic blob or white and ruins everything.

To be honest, I don't see anything wrong with your marker quality on the page.
My only advice is try other coloured markers in combination to what you're already using. Usually I work on a scrap piece of paper and try blending options before trying it on a final piece. For example, that space image, the main body is actually a bright red with a layer of brown and the shadows are a grey/blue marker. The hair and the background is about 6 different markers.

Trying out radically different colours for blendings? Yeah, that's an idea. I'm always afraid of messing it up or ending up choosing colours which don't look nice together. Once once told me years ago that my combinations were muddy and I stopped trying. Maybe I should start again. Let's do some experiments! Thanks. :)

Yeah, use scrap paper as you're working to make sure the colours work.
