>>> You can use both, markers and pencils for coloring the same picture..
Cheap stuff work well, no need to buy expensive art supplies..

But the problem is with some markers, is that they leave these annoying "dark and then lighter" type of crap and it looks really unproffesional... I might try watercolor pencils, since thats what you use black orb, as I really admire your artwork. :)

If you want quality, the first brand that comes to mind is Prismacolor.

>>> Yeah, watercolor pencils are awesome you should use them, if you dont mind paying for them of course..
If you are going to wash the colors you will need some special paper too..

or, 'borrow' materials from school if you have art class:]

I wind up with quite a bit of stuff that way;o my teacher told me I could keep any of the stuff I used this year, so I have some things.

black orb, what kind of washes do you do with watercolor pencils? I've never thought of doing that with them.

>>> Is just dampening a paintbrush with water and paint over colored areas so you get something like this (http://drawsketch.about.com/library/blwatercolorpencil.htm).
I guess everyone knew that since thats the way watercolor pencils are used..:D
