  • Why do you use that transparent thing (forgot what its named O:) instead of just drawing directly on the paper with the darker color, and then blend?

  • @Minsnuskeskat the markers are too far apart in color to do a direct to paper blend so picking up the dark color off the transparency helps in adding the color and blending it all in one step

  • BTW- do you have to outline everything when using copics?

  • @DarkJazzyMetal I don't outline when using my copics, you should try to work smoothly from one end of an object to the other. You shouldn't outline then color it in as you will see your outline mark. I too have learned many things along the way as this particular video was from over 2 years ago. Thanks for visiting!

  • What if I wanted to blend two colors that are from different color groups, like blue and green. How would I proceed? Would one of the colors be ruined?

  • @Myrrhmade If you are using two different color groups the best way to get them to blend is by feathering them together.

    FYI, copic is one of the only markers where you can touch them tip to tips and not ruin the nibs of your marker. It is a proven technique and I teach it all the time. Only do this with COPICS not from a copic to a prisma or tria marker.

  • Not if they are both copics. They are made for rendering. Just make sure you clean the tips by brushing them on a scrap paper a few times.

  • Surely picking up the darker colours on your lighter pens would ruin the light pens?

  • @BCSherrie Thank you for the answer (:

  • Good cuz I'm deathly afraid of messing up my "Raw Silk" and "Egg White" markers with darker shades, even mixing the two super light colors together. Thanks for this so that I know never to fear of this.
