Vanilla Undercover: Underpainting with Copic Markers for Beautiful Realism - Deep pearl
Try underpainting E43 with BV20 to successfully simulate lifelike shadows in these pretty peonies. The natural “color shattering” which occurs with any of the BV markers will bring to light beautiful nuances of blues, turquoises and violets. | VanillaArts.com | #copicmarker #realisticcoloring #underpainting

Beginner Copic Coloring: Small Collection, Big Color
It's not a numbers game
"I don't have very many Copic markers yet, so I can't color much"
I hear this a lot from beginners and I always wonder what the magic number is. How many markers does it take to get started?
It's a common situation, you want to learn Copics but it takes a while to build up a collection, especially if money is tight. So you're stuck in limbo where you have a few but not enough to get anything done.
But how many is enough? Ten? Twenty? Seventy?
At what point do you graduate from "not enough to do anything" to "enough to do everything"?
