If you are like me, you love seeing how different artists work. Sooo, here's a quick demo of how I approach doing marker drawings using gray copic markers. In this case since Emma is all white, there is not a lot of range in values, but you can still get the idea. I am working on light gray paper here fyi.
1-loose pencil shape to place the figure on the page where I want her.
2-roughed in pencils (4b usually)
3-using a kneaded eraser I lightly erase the rough pencils and then do the tighter pencils over that as a guide.
4-inks, I use a variety of tools to ink with depending on a lot of factors, in this case, it is all brush marker. Go to Jetpens.com and you will see tons of great japanese markers that you will want to test drive.
5-lay in some gray tone markers. In this case I only use 0,1 and 3....like I said, not a lot of range in Emma's all white look.
6-I slap on some white gouache paint roughly where I want the highlights to be.
7-Using a brush with water (or a water brush) I move the white paint around till it looks pretty ;)

It is really neat to see your process. I always find it interesting to see how an artist gets from point A to B. Vey Cool!
