Getting Started Guide Week 7: The Write Stuff

I'm sorry this video was so delayed! Again with the beautiful weather and playing outside.  But here they are!  I did two videos for this week. The first covers general writing tools I use, and some coloring options besides markers. The second covers the basics of Copics. I do not do any coloring, but simply explain what Copics are and the identification system.

If you have questions let me know! Everything is linked at the very bottom.




::What it means::

Letter::: What color family it belongs to
R= Red
YR= Yellow Red
Y = Yellow
YG= Yellow Green
G= Green
BG= Blue Green
B= Blue
BV= Blue Violet
V= Violet
RV= Red Violet
E= Earth
N= Neutral, W= Warm, C= Cool, T= Toner

First Number::: How vibrant or bright the color
0 = Very Bright (Good for adding highlights)
9= Very Dull

Second Number::: How saturated the color 
0 = Very Light
5= Mid-tone
9 = Very Dark


Rules for picking colors to blend naturally
1. Same letter
2. Same first number
3. Second numbers are 2-4 digits apart (ie. V01, V05, V09)

Colorless Blender

A good marker to pick up to help with pushing and fading/lightening colors. Despite the name, it's not really used for blending.

This is obviously a lot of information, and it's just the bare minimum. So, if you have any questions let me know.  I'm going to try to put together a post of some good Copic resources/blogs as well.

*In the video I mention that Versafine Onyx Black is a dye ink, but I lied. It's an oil-based pigment ink!*
