Suck it, learning curve

I did it. I bought markers. And I never thought I'd say this, but I'm already addicted. I only bought a small set of neutral gray Copics, but I love them. I will most definitely be in the market for more. Or all of them. There are over 350 colors...and they're about $6 a marker. It didn't take me long to get acquainted, but I still need some practice. Anyway, here is my FIRST piece of Copic art.

Granted, I did borrow (NO, I didn't trace) the pose from a book. I needed SOMETHING to practice my coloring on.
