Thanks for the info...just ordered a set of 72...looking forward to trying them :)

Well i got myself some Copics that arrived today and heres my first attempt at using them...I know its a bit rough and for some reason my permant pen that i lined the owl with decided to bleed when touched by the colour...Is this normal? or are there better pens out there for outlining the piece first?...And i find it hard to blend reds into another colour!
Im going to give this a good trial and see if i can improve enough to be truly happy with future pieces...As i said its a bit rough so go easy on me chaps!

do u like copic better than prismacolor

Never tried prisma colour....these markers are all new to me...but seeing the results of some of the guys on here i thought id better have a look into them :)

Canson watercolor paper? I'm still trying to find a paper that I like using with copic markers. I want to buy a few more so that I get the right 'families' so that they blend well.
