Copic Airbrushing the inexpensive way...

[Menolly13]

Did you know that you can use your SU Color Spritzer Tool with your Copic markers? I've been wondering if you could, so I gave it a try and it works. I have a tutorial with photos on my blog. You can do it with any of the marker styles too!

thanks

Do you have a link to or picture of the tool?

Your way probably dosn't use as much ink as the airbrush system does either. Thanks for sharing, now I have a reason to get the spritzer now.

Thank you for the great idea...I may have to order a spritzer too!

Thanks for this - my spritzer is one of my favorite tools and it never occured to me to try it with my Copics - duh!!

[RiverIsis]

Thanks for the link.

You mentioned that you took a notch out of your spritzer to be able to use the Copic, what did you use to make the notch and how far in did you go? Thanks.

I just re-read her blog it says the notch is already there to rest the pen against .

The notch is already there on mine. I bought it 2 years ago when SU first put them back in the catalog, but I think the current ones are still the same. If you look on my blog post, I took a close-up photo to try to show what it looks like. It's small, but it is there. If you wanted it to be bigger, you could probably use a sharp exacto knife blade to whittle a little more out of the plastic.

Thanks for letting me know, I don't have the spritz tool and I haven't seen one in person yet, and when I was reading your blog it was 5 am so I did read it wrong. I will have to order one after Christmas, DH is starting to notice the amount I have being spending lately so I will have to slow down until after the holiday's.

I have to say I'm wonder if one of those "baby nose/ear cleaning devices" would work - it just puff power.

I tried using one of these a few years ago and I didn't work for me.
