I saw a blog in the last week or so that did a FANTASTIC job of showing how to use Copics. She had a terrific step-by-step example of an image that she colored with Copics. She listed all of the colors that she used -- it was a floral image. I remember that she had about 4 shades of green. Not much help -- I can't find the blog!

I've just started saving blogs in my faves --- too late for this one. Anybody have any ideas of which blog it might be???

(obviously, I'm looking to buy some green copics!!!!)

Gina K's blog has one today. It's pretty simple too. I tried this technique with my prismacolors and they must not be wet enough or something cause it doesn't work that well. here is the link http://blog.ginakdesigns.com/

I don't know if this is the one you're looking for but this blog (http://debbiedesigns.typepad.com/muse_and_amuse/2008/01/girls-and-sweet.html) does ALOT of stuff w/copics. This was her last specific post but go back to her old stuff. George-ous stuff!!

These are both great sites -- thanks -- but not the one I saw the other day! :-( I'll keep looking. If I find it -- I'll share!

OK Nancy I couldn't sleep so I was determined to look for your tutorial! Here are two I found that I think were posted here. They both have alot of green. One is a branch with a bird on it, and the other peaches in a leaf bowl. Hope one of them are what you were looking for :)

KIMMY -- YOU FOUND IT! Debbiedesigns is the blog I was dreaming about. The other site was very interesting as well! WOW! THANKS!

Jovi -- I can't believe YOU are giving me advice for learning about Copics -- you Copic avoider, you! Those are some awesome sites -- I especially loved, loved, loved the video. I'm going to watch it again when I'm not at work (tee hee!). She had a technique that I had not tried.

Now I know -- my current obsession is COPIC MARKERS!

Wow that is a cool blog, and she does amazing coloring!!! I'm just not that confident in my coloring ability though!

YAY! I am so glad that was it. When I saw it I thought it looked very familiar. It makes me want to run out and buy some green copics (too bad no one sells them close by).

Oh goodie I'm so glad Kimmy found it for you... when I open the link Kimmy had and saw the peaches I had to laugh! What I remembered it was a peach flower with a lot of leaves... I guess I don't have a great memory!

I've been saving a lot of Copic info... just in case I may need it in the future! Just glad I can pass it along :huh:
