Great information. I am a beginner and found this very helpful!

All of a sudden I have gotten obsessed with art, and I really want to buy copic markers! This is helpful! You gave us a very clear understanding of what to do

Oh, Leanne, was that ever an excellent video. I've had some Copic markers but just splurged, doubling my collection to about 75. But they weren't working right, so after watching 4/5 of this series, I feel more confident about practicing and experimenting. What a joy to find this series! You are an excellent instructor who doesn't waste our time with unrelated comments. Really nice job! Thanks so much!!

Dang, girl! You are I've learned so much from this series. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Best advise ever! You can and it’s easier to add color to light colored markers than it is to change darker colored markers. I see it as lighter colored markers are the more “valuable” markers to get refilled. This is a great revaluation for me and eye opening in so many ways.
I see so many dark colors like my 04 to 09 color markers families. Some are too dark to blend with their 01-0000 family.
I have markers that look like the exact same color. Even when I put the color on paper there is a small variation but not enough to buy a refill for each. What was I thinking when I started my collection? (Side note 📝 I see a good handful of markers with clearance stickers on them.🙄)
I understand the color numbers of Copic markers. It’s just, as I look at my markers that need refills and some tips, I can’t help but ask myself, should I order the dark colored refills? And if I don’t, then what do I do with these markers? Or should I order refills for those dark colors that are the same color? Thanks for the video series. I’m learning a lot.

Great videos. How do you determine which is a medium tone? Just by looking at it or by the #’s associated with that color family...say 000-10 is light, 11-20 medium, 21-30 dark?

[debbihoag]

How do your store your markers? laying down or standing up?

[missyleftrick]

I’m still a little confused as to which ones to start with. 😫 I have heard people say it depends on what you will be coloring.

Awesome tips. Definitely need to improve with mine. I have about 100 now, slowly but surely
