I can just look at these Copics and be happy. XD

No one I have watched so far has ever shown just how different the Copic markers lay down on the different types of paper. Thank you, this was so helpful. I look forward to the remainder of the five-part series!

Wow, was this ever helpful! and I'm only on part 1. I spent 2 hours reorganizing my papers once I learned all of this! Excellent video, Leanne!

[aliceadler]

Thank you. I was afraid to get started. PS - a “normal” pack of paper is a “ream” of 500 sheets. If it is a thicker paper (i.e., 100 lb weight) a ream may be 250 sheets.

My copics just came in the mail today. This video was really helpful, I never knew where to start when I opened the package. Thank you for all the advice Leanne! <3

I recently (by recently I mean today) bought some copics sketch and ciao and I’m really existed to get started and your videos are helping me understand 😁

Great video, I’ve bought some Copic Classic markers for my myself but thinking to give them to my niece who has some serious health issues. I’m hoping to sit down with her and show her how to use them and help her to relax. She is very good at anime, these pens will be more versatile and allow the colours to burst from the page. They are so different to what she normally uses. Wish me luck!

Thank you Karen for this video.. I’m new to Copics but have many, and I have watched many videos on this but your gentle voice and details really have taught me a lot, and I can’t wait to Color more for cardmaking.. hugs

FYI - Copics can be used on glossy papers. You can great effects because of the fact that the inks sit on top of the paper. They're great to use on any non-porous surface. I use them on ceramic tiles and glass too.

Excellent video thanks. I've been getting on well with Ohuhu marked pads. 120 lb/200gsm also well worth trying.

I just discovered Copic markers. So excited to get started AFTER I watch your videos. Thank you!

[betcooper]

Thanks for this helpful video. Wish I had seen this some time back as I have literally wasted money on cardstock. Look forward to Video # 2

14:09 - "a collector of things" - I had a ferret and she liked collecting things like fruit loops - too cute!

[mamamargieskitchen]

Thanks so much. I just purchased my first set of Copic markers and this helped me to choose the paper I will use for my first drawing

[AngieTournado]

Hi I'm a new artist ❤ I'm still learning to draw, i have some art work im also working, on my own comic and my own character's thanks i use my sketch pad.

[denisemacnab]

I have just watched all of your comics for beginners videos and you have taught me so much! Thank you for your insight - it has helped me a lot of deciding what I should choose first.

[kristincarron]

Thank you so much for making this video series, it was so helpful!

Hi, I’m pretty old to be venturing into copic markers but I’m very keen to give them a try, I’ve looked at the sets but not a clue which one a beginner would find most useful, I mostly card make, again quite late to that party too😊 so from what I can tell the sketch markers might work well but the choice of colours baffles me. Could you give me a few tips on what colours I’d find useful, either as a set of say 12? Thank you 😊

[almaortiz]

Lovely voice, excellent teacher - Thank you.

[gosiatko]

Thank you for this video! Very useful. I used to use worse or better quality of normal copic paper for copics. Recently I've started to use W.H.Smith paper 135gsm which is alright - it behaves a tad different with copics than a copy paper, but it's all about practice. After this video, I've decided to try out Neenah as I draw in manga style and so care greatly about very smooth blending . Hopefully that's the right one x
