Around Christmas time I decided I wanted to learn how to use Copic markers. I have been searching the Internet for "how to" videos and reading as much as I can find on the subject. So far I have made a few mistakes, one being getting advice on "starter sets" from several different sources. Because of this I have about 40 markers but most aren't what I really seem to need for any given project. I would love to take a class but can't find any local. I have found several online classes but I just feel like I would learn better in front of a real person showing me what I am doing wrong. I'm not giving up however, I will keep looking and then maybe in the future take an online class if I can' t find anything local. Here are what I have so far (except for a few that have been ordered and haven't arrived yet):
My first two attempts came out "okay". I'm not real pleased with them but I know I need a lot more practice. I thought I would show them and then in the future I can see how much I have improved. The images came from Cuddlebug Cuties and I really appreciate Anna letting us print them out and practice on them. I really love her drawings!
As you can see I need a lot more work on skin and hair. I have ordered a few more brown shades so I can have some with brunette hair.
Happy Sunday everyone, have a great rest of the weekend!
