Each posting I am going to have either items on sale or tip of the day. It can be anywhere from Copics to a simple tutorial.
Tip of the day: Copic Markers
The number one question when starting to buy Copic Markers are "what should I buy first" These are my recommendation for starting a Copic collection.
- E000, E00, E11 - Flesh tones for Caucasian skin. R20 for blush
- Y00 or Y11, Y02, Y04, Y08 - Yellow
- E29, E25, E35, E50 -Browns for wood and hair
- R22, R26, R29 - bright red
- YG21, YG24 - Green for grass and plants
- B21, B24, B27, B29 for bright blue.
- RV 00, RV21, RV25 - Bright pink .
- C00, C1, C3 - mimics "white" clothing and can add depth and a shadow to the outside of your image
- V12, V15, V17 - purples
- YR12, YR15, YE17
- Copic Blender is a must have to lighten or remove color.
Hope this helps
