My Garden Is Off Limits
This is an image for a Secret Santa exchange for Eliza - in her webcomic The Little Weed there was a sheep in a ghost costume in the background, and, well, yeah.
I used violet as "underpainting" for the shadows, which worked out OK. I know I forgot taking perspective into account with the stepping stones, and I haven't figured out how to make solid colour using markers without it getting sorta blotchy.
Anything else I should pay attention to next time?

What kind of markers are you using? What part did you try to make solid colored? I've had decent luck just doing lots of layers. You do kind of have to pay attention to what areas you've colored multiple times: more layers=darker end result. But really, I can't pick out any one place where it NEEDS to be solid and isn't.
If I may ask, what are you doing your linework with? I've had a difficult time finding pens that hold up to my heavy-duty markering.
It's mostly the house. The grey got blotchy.
I'm using Steadeler Pigment Liners and Copic Multiliners, but there's two things: The initial inking pass I do with a 0.05mm liner, which doesn't put much ink on the paper, then I colour, and only afterwards I add the thicker and more varied lines. (I tend to use a brush pen for at least part of those.)
The other thing is that I use bristol paper or smooth card, not marker paper. I haven't found any ink that doesn't smear during colouring on marker paper, even if I let the ink dry thoroughly first.
