Bought some New Prismacolor Markers Yesterday....

I was sitting here working. Looking over my inventory of prismacolor-markers. Because now that I am doing work drawing the NCF (Nigerian Counterstrike Forces). I had to stop by Blicks yesterday. Prior to that I picked up my monthly transpass. Then went into Blicks and picked up;

1) Neon Green, I needed a new one because of course to get the Nigerian Flag's Neon Green bars then of course it would make sense to have an extra sense their NCF are decked out in some way shape and/or form! In the Nigerian Flag colors.
I'm still trying to master drawing dark-skinned women CORRECTLY. I had a program way back in the day called Millennium Suite that used to come on the old late 90's computers. I figured out a way to use THAT PROGRAM in conjunction with my normal drawings to do detailed dark-skinned women. I'll have to check and see if that program even still exists. But it was the program I used to draw this picture and get results;
It required me to draw the original drawing and then scan it. Put it through the program and then RE-INK THE ORIGINAL AND RE-SCAN IT, BUT!?
The drawing then CAME OUT IN FULL-DETAIL!
^_^
Round about, but worth it!
And I'm not a stickler for bitchin-n-moanin about time. The main objective is to DO IT RIGHT!

2) Apple Green, for a lighter contrast that is darker than the Neon Green but still lighter than green itself. I originally was going to work out a color-coded scheme for the NCF based upon shades of green. But I chucked that idea.

3) Leaf Green, a darker shade that isn't as dark as my Dark Green. But contrasts perfectly with the lighter greens and is not too dark in comparison to the Dark Green.

4) Mocha Dark, a skin tone I want to use for NCF. Of course it is not as dark as actual Black, but!? It's close. Of course it's easier for the details to come out when I ink the drawings. I'm still tampering with a means to make varying shades of actual Black. That's what I am really after. So it is trial and error for the moment. But I picked this color up so I can have some more variations on the NCF. Not like I haven't already drawn varying skin tones in the first place anyway, but you get my point.

5) Bluff White, ended up with THIS COLOR!? Because Prismacolor doesn't appear to make Dark Umber anymore. Which is bullshit. I'll look into that in a moment. Moment done and supposedly Dark Umber still exists for sale. But I couldn't find it while I was in the store. So I bought Bluff White. Gonna use that to see whether or not the fangs and teeth come out looking the white I want them to. I'll test that tomorrow.
