When the copic brush was suddenly no longer available from the drawing app, that was the time I stopped drawing our beloved characters from the #pinkyandspiky comics by our friends Vidas and Ausra. It took me a while to get the desired look of my version of pinky and her gang. The copic brush definitely gave my drawing a certain look and character
Been searching from that time for a similar brush but nothing came close to the copic brush that I learned to love and embrace. Today I thought I would draw again these characters using the same brush and this is what I found, a brush called fine marker somewhat similar to the copic brush they discontinued. Makes me wonder why they remove one brush when there are too many other brushes that I never used. I have forgotten what my Pinky version looked like . It was a long process before I settled on what I like for her clothes the color palette and what she looks like. I guess these sketches above can come close sigh!
I kept the big rounded ears. The snout I can’t remember what my character had but this one works for now. The original green scarf is her signature so it must stay. I used to draw her with golden tiara in the early days now the golden color is on her cardigan she used to wear a dress though. I love using red for her clothes to match the golden yellow scarf but this year no more red. Something earthy to match her green scarf.
