I'm still trying to sort out what goes with what as far as shades of Copics are concerned. I bought 2x 32 pen sets plus a set of skin tones and I have been trying to amalgamate the various pens into colour families.
I had a good tip from my friend Victoria, who suggested that I try out the colours on card and label the colours used to see a true representation of what the shades will appear like on my cards. I found this very useful!
When you manage to select complementary colours, using Copics is just like magic. I love it. I really think however, that some additional purchases may be necessary!
This image is from Dustin Pike, I love his dinosaurs. I think this would be good either to give to a child or for a child to give to an adult. It's cute anyway!
The sketch is from The Pink Elephant. I have taken a little licence with it, but for this image I think it works really well! I added a sentiment, in this case it's from Cuddly Buddly, mounted on Nesties.
I'm pleased with this one, I hope you like it
such a cute image and a fabulous card. I am still collecting my ProMarker colours but having the chart to fill in helps. I'm sure there's a Copic chart out there as well - maybe one of the US girls who is copic trained could help you.

I just started experimenting with Copics for the first time this weekend. I can see I have a long way to go.... ;-) I only have a set of 12 Ciao markers, plus a blender and two flesh tones that I picked up separately. I need way more colors but I think I'll have to build up my collection gradually due to the cost.
ReplyDeleteCute card! I love that the more I get into this hobby, the more I recognize artists' images just by looking at them! ;-)
You are already better with your copics than I am :) You do such a great job with those precious dinosaurs too.
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday, Chrissie!
I think you've got the hang of it! You did a GREAT job!!
