The wings immediately jumped out at me from the thumbnail of this image. Beautifully portrayed, they have great shape and dimension, and the colours are really striking as well. The character is nicely drawn, as well. What media did you use for this?

Thank you! For the outlines I used Faber Castell PITT Artist Pens in some dark shade of brown (might be Sepia, not sure, they aren't labelled) For the colouring I used markers, mostly Copic Ciao. The clouds I added by "pushing" the blue marker deeper into the paper with a blender, which worked since I was using thick bristol paper rather than super-thin marker paper with sealed back, and adding a bit of thinned white ink for highlights.

Yep, markers. Copic Ciao, mostly; I love the brush tip, and can't handle a chisel tip properly ^^°
