This is absolutely beautiful, really. I think that the empty space is what gives this impactive effect...
One question: Did you use the 'broad' end of your marker to colour the sky? I'm learning to use them, but I can't seem to do it equaly.. Unless it's in small spaces, in which I can use the "fine" end. :/
Thank you so much for the comment. This was drawn on small moleskine book which was roughly ... A6-ish in size? I use the brush-like end to color the sky because the broad end never give equal coloring.
The problem with copic is that if the ink dries and you re-apply color on to that area, it will come out in slightly darker color with stripes effect. So I usually go over it several times to make sure the area is colored equally. ... And that's why I draw small XD
Yeaaah, the stripe effect just kills me D: In small areas, I work just fine with markers, but when I try to colour the entire background...
I think my sketchbook is a little bigger than that - and its paper is not as good as a moleskine one - , so it's just plain failure for me XD I was wondering if there was a way out, so I asked you.

Thanks for the inspiration, anyway!

Hope that helps.
