You are a craft artiste !! I bow down before you....no matter how hard I try to shade, it comes out all flat. Maybe I will put it under my pillow and osmosis will get it to my teeny tiny brain. Hey, a gal can hope !

You guys need to really thank Lori, Jenn, and Daven for setting this up. Having it in one place helps me as well as you guys. Then, if you want more advanced coloring ideas go dig around my blog.
This is a great thread, thanks for starting it. Will you be at the Copic class on Friday at CHA, Marianne?
Nope. Sorry :( I don't fly in until Friday evening. I'll be setting up the Copic Booth and visiting the certification class and the SCS booth on Saturday though. I'll be around, but I'll also be all over the place
I couldn't have done it without the help of all the fabulous people here at SCS I just hope this helps people feel more creative and less frustrated.
I have about 20 of the sketch markers and 32 should be here tomorrow. Can't wait to play. I have read your blog several times and watched your videos.Thanks for all of your help.
Well, that's the Hobby Lobby list. That's a great resource too, but Archiver's has a different selection - at least mine does. The selection available at Archiver's may vary from location to location for all I know. Thanks though!
Last week I printed off an awesome chart called "Popular Copic Color Combos" I cant find where I printed it from and I want to send the link to my niece.
Can someone help me, please?

PS My nephew is going to shoot me for enabling his wife with the Copic craze!!
Thanks Marianne, that really helps. Ok a few more for you because you are on a roll and I bought my first batch of copics without a real plan of blending...
Lighter and Darker colors to work with Y38
Lighter and Darker to go with B26
Lighter Orange to go with YR09
Thank you so much for your help, it is so appreciated.

question--can I use the standard fine replacement nibs that are for the original markers in the sketch markers? I don't think I'll ever use the broad nib on the other end of the sketch, but if I can put fine nibs in, I think I would use them... does anyone know?

The only replacement nib that works in the sketch and the ciao marker is the "medium round", the fine nib is only offered in the original copic.
I use my chisel end all the time for coloring my ribbon to match
Can you color directly on rubber stamps with Copic markers, like you can with the SU Markers?

Hi bjtstamper, did anyone ever answer your question? If not, the answer is not exactly. There is a technique where you can color directly on your stamps with copics and reactivate with a spritz of alcohol, but it produces a watercolor effect. I think Gina K has a tutorial on that at stamptv.com
I believe the reason you can't color directly on your stamps with copics is because the ink dries too fast or maybe it is the alcohol evaporating too fast.
