[moonlightmenuett]

I live in germany and I keep on watching english videos cause i'm more comfortable with english and then I end up buying them online and mostly paying more for shipping then for the actual thing and that really su**ks. but I just cant find anything in germany.

[sweetberryontop]

@crinwolf the stamp ink is for people who stamp the image on paper and color it with Copic markers. You don't need to buy them

[crinwolf]

[AuntieAlly]

[SirDraw95]

@MsBleachFan101 you could ask one of your parents to get them with their credit card and then pay them the money that you spend from their card :3 this is what im doing anyway oh ! and i suggest you get a COPIC Multiliner also cause what ever ink you use to line your art might bleed into the nib , is so what i heard from someone :3 hope this helps ~~

[maylin0828]

yeah wht city houston????

[5hatsumi5]

does the marker get recked by other colors? do you know what i mean?

you know how in highlighters, if you go over a greylead part, the greylead goes onto the highlighter and recks the marker, does that happen?

[Esperanza191]

@5hatsumi5 Nope, the deisgn of the nibs is so you can actually touch the tip of one marker to the tip of the other marker and be able to wipe itoff easily on a piece of scrap paper.

[1761341]

[ameribritgal]

@cuellarmariana

I was referringnto Stamping Up markers.

[cuellarmariana]

@cuellarmariana oh.... oops, sorry! hehehe! great vid. by the way. it helped me a lot! :)

[JellyBean101978]

@cuellarmariana You are obviously not from Texas. Haha.

[Nirmanakaya3]

@cuellarmariana

They are COPIC markers.  You can find them in ART stores not scrapbooking ones. They are the ones used by many artist and graphic designers.

[saturn4ever]

It doesn't really matter how you pronounce copic I pronounce it like cohpeec which is rather amusing OTL;

I personally use my copics for manga illustrations. Which they are great for :D

Sketches are the best overall :) ciaos are just like sketches except they're round& they hold less ink. I love my ciaos though.

I think another important thing to discuss is the colorless blender

Your accent is adorable btw ♥

[chicken2266]

how fast do the copic markers take to deliver ? they were supposed to come today but they didnt. will they come tomorrow? i have been waiting for 4 days like it said and it hasnt come yet

[HopesCharm]

The closest Hobby Lobby is 106 miles away. D=

Well, Dick Blick is having a sale on them. ^^;

[chicken2266]

so if i buy regular stamping ink at michaels then that wont work for the copic markers? because im not sure if i can afford memento ink. please write back. thanks

[ameribritgal]

@chicken2266

It is $5 or so. Not very expensive! Most any other ink will not work well with your copics.

[chicken2266]

how much is the memento ink at hobby lobby? please write back. thanks

[nightowlscrapper]

Thank you so much! this does help. I just wanted to let you know that stampin up whisper white paper works great with copics. I am a demo and use it all the time..

[seaslay]

This info is just what I was looking for. Thanks

[antoniomanley]

Thanx a lot but what store can I get copic markers from?

[Dracilla112]

I really wanna try em out! But they're too pricy for me xD

[mumzcuddles]

Great video, as far as the pronunciation goes I wouldn't really worry as everyone seems to pronounce everything their own way in their own accent. lol

[myscongeniality]

Thank you for the information. I am just learning about the Copic markers so any information is always helpful. Thank you.

[raw3rd]

Excellent video......very informative.

[michnogato]

Were can i buy the markers with out getting them from the internet?

Please wright back, with a little info.

Any thing helps!!

[ameribritgal]

@michnogato Hobby Lobby...and I think they are onsale there this week!

[ameribritgal]

It is on the copic website. Across the top there is a menu bar. Select Library and scroll down. It is midway down the page.

[misstorina3]

Hi,

Thank you for a great video. I could not find the chart you showed... The only chart I found a chart with colors in it :-\

Could you please direct me to the presice link' please :-)

Thanks

[scrappie100]

people are soo anal , did I spell it right! who cares!!! Great video "ameribritgal", I have Tombow abt I have only 54 but , love the watercolor effect. i really like copic as well but not avail near me. oh well...

[1989Sassi1989]

Funny..in germany copic is pronounced the way you said it first :)

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I´m using the normal copic markers for renderings (industrial design) but I want to try them for some of my stamps too. So thanks for your vids :)

[StampLinda1]

Good tutorial.Good information except that the you CAN airbrush with the original (square) markers.And the stamping ink is NOT MO mento, like 'moment'. It's ME mento. Like 'memory'. Normally it wouldn't matter - lots of people can''t pronounce the word, but you are teaching. and should get it right.

Meanwhile, keep on Copicing.

[ameribritgal]

Hmmmmm....I am not sure the square shape would fit in my airbrush system, but I am glad to hear it can be done. As far as the pronunciation of the brand of ink goes, I am sorry that it bugged you.

[StampLinda1]

@ameribritgal LOL! Normally it wouldn't bug me at all. It's just that the brand owners need people who teach and sell the products to say it right so people know what to ask for or search for on the net. As for the original style Copic pens, they are fully compatible with the airbrush system. It's the Ciao and Wide markers that don't work with it. The Ciao's can be made to work but it's not worth the effort if you can get the same pen in Sketch. Which you can. Have a great day

[jogryant]

Thanks for this video, it has answered of lot of my questions re the markers

Jogry/bali

[JaneCharm]

I want to buy one.......Is it available in different countries? I'm from Philippines and I think its going to be tough finding Copic marker here.........

[jokeboxproductions]

You can get them imported from Japan takes a long time but its well worth it. The markers are not cheap so don't get your hopes up for cheapo price. 70 bucks for a set of 6 copic ciao

[ReyDayami]

Thank you for this awesome tutorial. I'm gonna start buying these markers soon.

Thanks :)

[hg1bbs]

Great video! The momento (dye ink) is not a permanent ink. Won't the momento ink mix with the copic markers as your coloring? Thanks!

[ameribritgal]

Sure! I have both kinds of markers. The ink is exactly the same. the only difference is the actual marker itself.

[sweetxheart13]

how long would they last for?

[ameribritgal]

that depends on several things. How often you use them and which paper you use them with as some of the papers soak up more ink. I would say that they last quite a while though. I have had mine for almost a year and I am not even close to refilling mine.

[Necrology123]

That was a very, very nice tutorial. Thanks so

much for this. I'm seriously thinking about getting

the Copic Sketch brand and I'm sure I'll be able

to look back at your videos for help. Thanks. ^^

-- gee

[zoeymegmeg]

i say "kaw-pick"... idk if it's right or not but i do prefer it over coe-pick. but which is actually correct?

i think i failed on the buying colours bit....

can you use copic markers in your regular sketchbooks?

[ameribritgal]

the 'coe-pick' pronunciation is the correct one.

[cherrygirl016]

i want your craft room!!!!!

[tnwellian]

why do all americans say coe-pic....its copic...pronounced."kopik"

[lawnmowersrideongras]

i say "kopic" and im an american :T

[tnwellian]

@lawnmowersrideongras

good lol....but i bet all my money u still say "tomayto" lol

[MewMewManga]

Me too o3o

[eraserchewer]

I say Kopik 0.0 abd im american...Stop Stereotyping..

[tnwellian]

ooh calm down lol...u'l live mate dont worry....stereotyping...lol!!!

[ameribritgal]

here is the deal, the company's American branch pronounces it that way. I am not sure it totally matters. I am sure there are plenty of other things to worry about other than the pronunciation of the word. My husband is British and I have never understood why the way way we pronounce things here bothers British people so much.

[tnwellian]

me niether really...we brought up like that..lol

[jcmex84]

Thank you so much for this video!!! You were a great help! Oh and yeah i randomly say copic with the american accent. LOL im sure everyone does when they first hear of them . 5*! XD

[LipGlossLuver24]

I get 25 dollars a month. I can get 5 a month. Wow, they are expensive! I will start out with Green, since its my favorite color.

[alisdarkdem]

i rather have blue,red,yellow and green

most of them are the basic colors to create all the other colors

[LipGlossLuver24]

Thanks (:

[alexandreeia]

does it really matter what kind of paper you use? sorry im think ing of buying them

[AudiSportbackA3]

hey i am fron germany... =) nice video :-P

[PinkApocalypse]

Sorry for this question, btu what does the Memento Product do?

[PokeEVfreak]

I'm so sorry i have to ask but you were comparing copic markers with what kind of markers?

[ameribritgal]

any other marker, but I think I specifically talk about Stamping Up markers. There are not any markers that compare to these markers though.

[1tinac]

Wow Thank you.

[BoopieGirl92]

Where can I get copic markers??

[ameribritgal]

at Hobby Lobby or sometimes local art supply stores have them. Online you can buy them at numerous places. I usually buy mine at Carpe Diem, but just google copic and you will find lots of places.

[BoopieGirl92]

Ok thank you

[FatalMindedMe]

I was wondering, what was the ink used for?

[ameribritgal]

to stamp the images that you are going to color.

[CraftingMum]

I am so jealous of your gorgeous work space :)

Great Video very helpful, thanks!

[wecarey]

The Memento Ink comes in tear drop four packs at Michaels. They have recently had some 50% off coupon but my Michaels takes JoAnns coupons too.

[grannyvick1]

Help! I need the color chart and have searched all over. Can someone let me know how to get it. Thank you!!

[ameribritgal]

you can get it on the copic website.

[ashleyluvsmoffins]

...o.o i just really want to steal your pink box and RUN!

[CrazyPhuul]

what is the ink for?

[ameribritgal]

stamping images to color.

[angelgiggles29]

your markers cost $5 a marker?

[ameribritgal]

No, I only buy them when they are on sale.

[SCAM1948]

thank you for your answer !!!!!

i'l give it a try :)

[Innersayin16]

sorry, but I couldn't hear this part on my computer. What paper did you use?

[ameribritgal]

I use Papertrey Ink white card stock.

[Innersayin16]

Thanks! Is it just for stamping or can it be used for any kind of copic picture?

[ameribritgal]

I would guess you could use it for anything. As a paper crafter I use it quite a bit because it is great paper. If you are going to draw and color in with copics I would use the copic multiliner. That way the color will not bleed.

[Innersayin16]

Thanks! :)

[nishanut]

Where are you taking classes?

[ameribritgal]

I was taking them at the Scrapbook Barn in Dallas.

[STARTproductions]

Too LATE I A READY BOUGHT A SET!! DX

[cinderella468]

where do you buy all the copic markers and can you tell me the country?

[DarkKittenGamer]

Also, question, why are Copic Markers so Expensive in the US? There are many stores in Canada that sell them for $3

[ameribritgal]

Who knows! It is shocking to me that they are cheaper there.

[SCAM1948]

does copic markers work well on Blackbook /Sketchbooks (on that kind of paper

[ameribritgal]

No, they would not work well at all on one of those book as the paper is usually not thick enough. Although, if you have one that has very thick paper give it a try.

[blueverry27]

where do you buy stamped images

[ameribritgal]

I buy stamps and stamp them myself. My stamps are usually purchased from Unity, Close to My Heart, SU!, or Hero Arts.

[RIPROKU]

there expensive because there that damn good. alot of the pro comic use them. and there easy to blend and shade with. its all about skill and people use them in different ways. its not just an investment, its smart and worth the investment. if ur the craft type then i wouldnt use copic.

[ameribritgal]

ummmm....I guess it depends on the type of crafting, but as an artist you should not limit yourself. I think it is silly to think that these markers are just for Anime or Comic books. Especially when the women who is certifying copic designers all over the US is a paper crafter.

[maarrqquuiill]

Hey, I'm a copic user as well. I've been using them for about a month and I've gotten pretty descent at them. It's so nice to see another copic user. I use mine for manga creations because I'm a comic book artist. But, it's awesome to see "stampers" use them as well. These markers are great and anyone can use them. Oh yeah, ciao markers work in the airbrush thing, btw, add a foamy on the airbrush and vualla!! If you need any help or tips on getting more out of your markers, ask me.

Marquil Horn

[DarkKittenGamer]

They are mostly used for Comic Books, that's why many think so. And it's true, those are it's main uses, but, ya never know how things go in the world of art, people can find amazing uses for other materials. Also, Copic Designers are not paper crafters.

[ameribritgal]

Yes, there are lots of people who are Certified Copic designers who are paper crafters.

[Maschenka11]

Thank you a lot!♥

[candledamachine]

Hey!! This is GREAT!! Thank you so much for sharing!!

I'm really looking forward to learning about these from and with you. I have about 10 of these markers, loveLoveLOveLOVeLOVE them... but I don't know much about them.
