For as far as I know most artists who work in this lineless style use gouache, so maybe it's easier to work with that? I don't own any of those paints at the moment, I just use whatever I have. (usually mix acrylics, inks and watercolors)
Yes, in this case I had a cleaned up pencil sketch on a seperate sheet and put it on the lightbox. Mostly I just lightly traced the outlines for each color field first (slightly bigger because you can't erase the pencil anymore after coloring over it), drew the outline with a marker and then colored it... since you can't really see colors with the lightbox on.

Question; did you use the copics for that smooth flat look or what? I've always wondered if getting smooth looks like in digital media could be achieved tradtionally.

Yes, though plenty of people can magically achieve a flat look with paint, watercolors even. I can't... yet, but that might also be the paper I use. It's all copics here, exept for the rock, which is watercolors, and the black, which is ink.

Ah, I see. I prefer traditional mediums a ton but really the main reason I even do digital is because of the smooth looks it gives me, even if it looks seriously synthetic and fake sometimes. I'd seriously love to get those effects traditionally though, without the fakeness of course.

Loving the flat, stylized look on this one! Very different from your usual stuff.

Also, condors are just totally badass. :D The research tag on the wing is a clever touch, too.
