Hi everyone! I recently tried out Posca Pens for the first time and thought it would be exciting to see how they look alongside Copic Markers on the same drawing! This was such a fun sketchbook project and I really hope you enjoy watching the video. Be sure to let me know what you think of the drawing! And also, please let me know if you have any art video suggestions that I could work on. I wanted to also say a big thank you for all of the amazing support! It truly does mean a lot to me. I hope you're all doing well and I hope you're having a great day. :) -Chris

I would LOVE to see you drawing a mythological creature ! :D

[@drawingwithyusuf]

Thank you so much, stay connected 💯 💝

[@CookieeeKiddo]

Really amazing and also thought why not make a monochromatic dragon. With a colourwheel from which the colour will be chosen and then it will be a challenge... Please consider suggestion.

[@megandoyle5387]

Can you draw thunder dragon or wind dragon or sunflowers 🌻 dragon???????????

Watercolor and Posca Pens

[@art_julio_lancis]

Awesome you are one of the artist friend 👍 👍

[@LethalChris1]

Thank you for the support. :)

[@josiahthenerd3072]

That was and is really cool man, just a thought however. I Think I would be interesting to use the copics for the natural pieces of the environment. The skull, the butterfly, the leaves, etc. and use the Posca for the more unnatural cybernetics. Before the background was added I thought the contrast was rather striking. Not that the picture isn't striking mind you, I'm fumbling a bit here but I'm hoping this is somehow helpful criticism and not the ravings of a mad man. :)

[@suhailmohamed3013]

I agree with you

[@galacticat7144]

Yeah, I thought the background was taking away from it a little too much as well.

[@varflock9777]

So many kinds of contrast one one picture: • Skull (organic but lifeless) / robotic parts (non-organic and lifeless) / leaves and butterfly (organic and alive) • Smooth gradients of copic markers / blocks of color made with Posca • Gray-ish foreground with heavy yellow parts / bright, colorful background • Different amount of details And somehow it all fits together without looking especially chaotic.

[@love-to-motivation7267]

I think the art came out great. Nice mixture of colors too.

[@LethalChris1]

Thank you so much. :)

[@deafblood]

The contrast between the organic parts having shading and the robotic areas having flat colour is really stunning to look at.

[@TorresArtistDraws]

that looks like a wonderful combination! both brands offer a different range of colors so it must’ve been fun!

[@LethalChris1]

Thank you!! It was a really fun project. Working in this sketchbook and trying out these pens has helped a lot recently. Can't wait to try more ideas!

[@PumpkinPails]

I'm really enjoying this series of Posca and Copic pieces you've been posting, especially this one. The effect is like an 80s cartoon meets a minimal Art Noveau and it's absolutely gorgeous.

[@sethravat1740]

Really cool

[@LethalChris1]

Thanks so much!

[@LizardBeaming]

Your final drawing was super cool but I was so impressed by the little copic + posca pen practice at the beginning of the video. You have such a steady hand! All those soft zigzags looked identical and the posca lines next to them seemed effortless.

[@Lahahl]

I love the contrast of shaded grey and the bold colour blocks of the posca pens. The way you frame drawings with shapes is very #aesthetic 🙌 I love your work!

[@soon_to_emerge]

Cyberpunk and nature is one of the most striking combinations for me. Your drawing and music choice actually made me tear up a bit, and rn I'm going for my sketchbook.

I was looking at Posca pens so this video got recommended to me and I am absolutely blown away at how gorgeous your art is. I went to see if you had an online store within the first 2 minutes of the video. You blow me away and inspire me, thank you so much for creating such gorgeous art and sharing it with the world. This came out so wonderfully!

[@realquirky]

Bae, you could try using copics with watercolors or Poscas on canvas or woodboards. Also, poscas look quite nice when combined with gouache or acrylic gouache, for that matter...

[@LethalChris1]

Amazing suggestions! Thank you so much. :)

I love the fact that you used Copic for the organic parts of the drawing since they blend very well and used the Posca pens for the metal/non-organic parts as it's very hard/opaque colors. It's all just so natural, it's just right :) Awesome drawing!

[@leneecasteel2005]

Hi Chris!! 👋😎👋 First off, you are such an amazing artist! I love watching you create. Second, I am so, so sorry your cat passed, my lab of 14 yrs also died not so long ago. It's hard, I don't thing we ever completely get over it, thinking of her can bring a lump up. But Chris, thinking of her can bring smiles also, what we shared lasted so long and there are so many memories of the good times. The pain of missing her can always be there, but it becomes more distant and it is much easier to switch to a good memory when I start feeling sad. I hope this happens for you as well. I definitely think those two pens/markers go well together, especially with the way you put them to use. Looking at this drawing at the end, I had this flash of switching it around totally. What I mean by that is to have the butterfly sitting in front, maybe sitting on a branch. In the wing area is a skull with similar mechanized attachments. Behind the butterfly is a very busy, intricate cityscape, in and around your circle background. It's not something I would draw myself, but I can see you doing it to perfection! Love your artwork and glad you have a channel for sharing with us!! Thanks!!

[@d0ct0rpus]

I love this! Excellent contrast in texture and it’s balanced well.

[@lage3127]

I get some kind of Anime/Cartoon vibe from this. Espacially from to POSCA's for the hard shadows and lines. All in All it seems like you took a realistic drawing and montaged it with cartoony additions. PRETTY pretty nice! Surreal and Real mixes so well in this piece.

[@artistofshield905]

I love your work so much! Your ability to make things so realistic and make them stand out beautifully, it has really inspired me to try new things in my own art. Thank you!

🤯 This blend of realistic & simplified shading looks like those live-action and animated movies like Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Page Master 😲😲😲 It's really cool!

[@telanore5270]

I absolutely love this, it turned out so cool. I also very much enjoy that you actively try to challenge yourself when it comes to art - I've found a lot of art youtubers just stick to their niche (and a whole lot of them are crowding the niche of "Pretty girls posing or looking cute"...), it's very refreshing to see someone actually seeking out a challenge!

[@kale4550]

This work is absolutely, positively, PHENOMENAL! This is an insanely detailed and yet clean piece!

[@victorcassel8521]

Congrats on this absolute awesome artwork!! It looks amazing, and I really like the kind of separating effect the contrast between the copic's and the posca's give as you used only the copics on the non-machine parts of the scull, and only poscas on the machine parts. It really looks amazing and you are a great artist!

[@greyhawk00]

I like the realistic feeling that the copics provide mixed with the cartoonish vibe of the poscas.

Apricot is a difficult high saturation color to use correctly due to it being almost borderlined to goldenrod and spanish orange. Coral pink I'm not particularly great with using but definitely masterful on your color choices. I tried making my custom logo for my yt and twitch profile pic but its rough trying to take 2 genres and mashing them together (particularly due to bad image qualities to reference off of mainly). If new york wasn't so gloomin hot I'd finish it but I'd have to wait for much cooler weather or find a place of my own. Keep up the good work and love the piece😎👍🏻👏🏻
