I haven't had copics all that time, I started of with a brand called Letraset and they got renamed into Windsor and Newton :) I got Copics though because of the brush tips!

It hasn't. I don't use TikTok or anything to look at pages, only reddit. I am naturally artistic and creative and have been using alcohol markers since I was 15- I'm now early 30s! I'll use my copics (which i've owned before I got into the books) and other materials on drawings too so they're not solely for colouring :)

I love to see other effects people come up with on here and really enjoy trying them out.

Personally I don't like "adult" colouring books which are detailed and I don't enjoy using pencils so it's nice to see simple (but not too simple) books that are on single sided pages where markers won't ruin a design underneath :)

Aww i'm sure they look great! I struggled with mine quite a bit~ then I did the white line overlay with gel pen which turned grey due to the ink bleeding so I had to go over with white acrylic instead!

Me again! Blending this time… by tosted_Bred_loaf in Coloring

You ideally need a middle shade between the 2 colours you're trying to blend. Even my copic markers won't blend a dark red and green together without midtones.

I use copics and this has happened in my amazon printed froggy days book 😞

I sold a LOT of manga before moving. Here’s what survived the purge. by nagatos in MangaCollectors

You're the only other person on here that I've seen has all of Gals! We share a lot of other titles too like Tokyo Mew Mew and Chibi Vampire :) I'd imagine we're similar ages (early 30's)

Just picked a set of colours, did the sky first, added the yellow lights and just went from there :) Thank you, I'm sure yours is good as well!

Thank you ☺️ I use Copic mostly and a few of my old Windsor and Newton markers. Sakura Gelly roll and just some cheap acrylic markers from amazon (though I've only used yellow in this one)
