Copic Markers

[parrothead]

I have every marker out there..tired of the streaks....I know investing in these will be hundreds of dollars..if you have them...how much do you use them and are they worth the money? I love watercoloring and the gamsol,but just looking for a different medium.

I have about 120 of them... don;t use them as much as I should, but I've gotten them out and started playing with them again since they've become all the rage here lately. Don;t be misled - they DO show streak marks if you don;t color with just the right technique and on the right paper. I mainly use the lighter colored ones as an underwash for coloring over with my Prisma colored pencils. I also use them on matte kote paper as you can blend on that - the ink does not soak in quickly. They definitely take practice. Try buying just one and testing it out before investing a fortune. Good luck!
