After visiting the I Like Markers blog, I have been following some of her advice and WOW! I really LOVE my Copics! I'm getting better at blending them and the colors are amazing. The key is that you have to saturate your paper (it turns almost gray) and then you can move the color around.
Is anyone else falling in love with their Copics???
You can't change yesterday, but you can ruin today by worrying about tomorrow.
Oh, I've loved them for a long time...Yes, saturate, saturate, saturate. I think I've got all but three of the Ciao markers now...I can't get enough!
I'll be going to the copic certification class in october (Charleston, SC).

I love my Copics. I joined GinaK's Copic Marker club and was able to get a full set in six months for $25.00 per month. I just received my first six of my second set over the weekend

Jennifer, I know you asked Nancy, but I happen to have the link handy:

It's habit-forming! Matter of fact, I am giving up my Prisma markers for Copics. I'm keeping my Prisma pencils, but I do like the Copic markers better, especially that brush tip.
I know nothing about Copic markers except what I've read here at SS. Does the ink last a long time to compensate for the huge price tag? What makes them so expensive?

What does it mean for certification?
I would love to take a class about coloring with markers etc...
That is a great website-thanks Debbie and Nancy for bringing it to us.
I have added it to my fav's so when I have a minute I can go back and practice some of those techniques.

I am SO loving my Copics....I just ordered a ton more from Dick Blick!
www.dickblick.com (I think that's the site address)
I'll check out those helpful websites.
I almost forgot about my Prisma pencils since I got the Copics!!!
Dick Blick often has a sale...I think I just spent about $4.20 apiece for mine.
