Default The New Pale Copics

If you bought the entire set of new colors, how satisfied are you with them for getting the pastel looks you want. Or are you finding them not much different from using the " -00" or " -000" you already had? I never met a color I didn't like....but I just wonder whether I would prefer spending the money on other deeper colors or just getting more re-inkers.

I have them and I am happy that I bought them but I only had about 50 markers before I got them.

One thing I find, is that it's always easier to ADD more color, or intensify, if need be, so I do like having these *uber* pale hues.

I only got 3 of the new colors--ones that I knew I'd use a great deal.

But, there was a lovely pale pink I wish now I had gotten, too. argh!

Aaah well. Another excuse to go shopping, right?! ;)

I got the entire set and love them! I find the paler colors easier to work with and think these colors are very useful. There is one color I don't really care for (G0000) but that's just a personal preference.

They are definately lighter than the next step of color so if you have the next step it would great for shading.

I bought them from Ellen Hutson (a "living doll"!) and I love them. I've used every single one of them lately, and like Julie said, I love that I can start with them, and add color for blending. Perfect!!

I got the set and have used every one of them. They are a great addition and work wonderfully with the 000's for shadowing.
