well your render has potential....remember lots of these guys use prismacolors in conjunction with the markers.

I asked about paper because I know they make a Paper for markers that is almost vellum like, and will allow you to use additives like bestine to smooth that color out some.

Bonz might have some good input for you.

Overall I like it though. There's a often used book called "Rendering with Markers" which is old now, but the techniques are still used and you're right there.

Do another one.

p.s. widen the front a little and you might get that "mean" stance. NIce rim.
