Manga

I was very curious about 'Manga' style coloring with Copics.  I love how the hair always has the beautiful highlights!  Watching numerous tutorials through YouTube has me inspired.  So I did a search and came across this wonderful site Mangalessons that not only has tutorials for coloring with Copics, but also how to draw Manga characters!  I don't think I'm ready to create them quite yet (if ever!!) but coloring, I can't wait to get started!  Enjoy!

Copics storage

I've searched and searched and believe I've finally found a low cost option to storing Copics!  There are Copic Cubbies, but the shipping is pricey.

 I've attached a link showing how to make a similar cubby system using foam board (and she does give credit to the mastermind behind the idea!).

Go ahead and chuckle but I believe it's pretty creative!  Seriously considering giving it a shot!  Now off to find my hot glue gun that I haven't seen in almost 2 years...

A new site I'm a fan of...

I was poking around the internet and came across a few YouTube videos about Copics.  One that caught my attention was using the Copics with an airbrush system.  I had no idea how easy this could be!  So I searched around and found a new favorite site:  Jennifer McGuire Ink  She does tutorials and a Copic coloring method I've never considered.  She makes it look soooo easy!  Click on her link...ENJOY!
