Do Not Use White Gel Pen for Realistic Highlights (Copic Marker, Colored Pencil)
What’s the best white gel pen for Realistic highlights?
I get this question a lot— as if the problem is the brand of pen rather than the white pen technique.
If you’re coloring cranberries with the same technique you also used on a fuzzy brown bear or a prickly pine tree… And if you’re using the white gel pen highlight technique on everything?
You’ve got realism problems.

Blending Combinations: Why It’s Hard to Pick Your Own Colors (tips for color independence)
Do you struggle to create your own blending combos?
I see a major problem in Copic Marker and colored pencil classes. I’m starting to see it in watercolor now too. I have students who can color any project I throw at them. Many of my students color my class projects better than me!
As long as you’re given a list of blending combinations and step by step instructions, you can color like a professional.
But when working independently— coloring your own ideas and choosing your own colors and blending combos… your projects look beginner-ish.
How is this possible?
