Traditional Vlad

_{Yes everyone, I'm still alive after the Tucson shooting. ( '-')}

Erm... yeah... so, having a lot of issues with my lappy, and I've been confined to traditional art lately. Until I get it fixed, I figured it was a good time to start practicing with my Prismacolor markers. I'm not particularly happy with this. It's my first time doing Vlad traditionally, and I still have no idea how to blend with these markers. Tips much welcomed.
