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!
Happy Sunday everyone, have a great rest of the weekend!
Hello, I also love Cuddlebug Cuties drawings. I'm also learning to use copic markers. You've done great coloring these images. I'm your newest follower. I can't wait to see your future work.

DeleteGorgeous coloring! You are very talented! Glad we had the Cuddlebug Cuties Sunday Linky Party so I could see your work!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ginger! I enjoyed my first link party and meeting everyone!
DeleteThis is the first time I have done the Cuddlebug Linky thing also!! I too would love to learn how to color well with these markers. Can't really seem to get the hang of it. I do have classes around me here, just haven't taken the time to get to one since I work full time! I think your coloring looks pretty darn good!! Keep at it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Patty! It is great to meet someone who is just learning about using Copics too. It seemed like every blog I had previously found, the ladies had been using them a long time and I felt like I was way behind. I look forward to seeing more of your cards and I hope you had a great anniversary!
DeleteHey Eydieg,
ReplyDeleteAm your new follower. Dropped by your Blog from Cuddlebug's Linky party.
Your coloring is good and am also in the process of learning coloring.
Hugs

Hi Catherine. I love the card that you posted. It is great to meet others who are also learning about coloring!
DeleteHi Eydie, I stopped by from Cuddlebug Cuties Sunday Linky Party. I've been a member there for quite some time so it's nice to see a fresh face :) I don't use copics because I find them to expensive. There are so many coloring techniques out there and I hope you get the hang of these now that you've invested money. If you care to see a couple of cheaper ways you cna visit my blog at Http://alookthroughmyeye.blogspot.com and also Angela Holt Designs at http://www.angelaholtdesigns.com/ She has some great tutorials on using pan pastels and Oil Pastel crayons. Hope you find this useful! Also I'm your newest follower! I believe strongly in supporting each other especially as new bloggers, plus I get to wastch you progress. Big hug ~Deb~
