C’mon, most people do.
Every Copic Marker class teaches it. Most beginner colored pencil classes do too.
Let’s use our lightest marker at the end of this petal. Now look at how dimensional our flowers look! Wow!!!
Highlighting for dimension is all over the internet. It’s rare to find a free tutorial that doesn’t use this coloring method.
And it’s wrong. It does’t always work.
What happens when the magic trick stops working?
I think so.
Spending time focused on things you love, like Copic Markers, colored pencils, cute stamps and coloring images— just being surrounded by color— for many of us, it soothes and calms the mind.
It simply feels good to be creative.
So knowing that coloring can make the best day feel even better… And now, with all this pandemic stuff…
Can we use coloring to help us cope with our emotions and struggles this time of social distancing and isolation?
New to Copic coloring? Never bought markers before? It’s easy to be overwhelmed by the many Copic Marker sets. You’re ready to play but you’re also nervous. Copics are a big investment! Unless you’re a long lost Rockefeller, most people can’t buy all 358 markers at once.
How do you make the most of your initial investment and what’s the best way to build your way up to a full collection?
You’re coloring a beautiful new stamp with Copic Markers and colored pencils. About halfway into the project you realize, Whoa! These colors are really bright!
Which is weird, because nothing you’re using is florescent. They’re just regular ol’ colors.
But together? Skip the sunglasses, you need protective goggles!
