    I just wanted to say thanks Evan for putting up this video. I had heard of copic markers but you showed me what they could do with this vidoe. This is the video where I decided to get my first 12 cool copic grey marker set and after that some could say I went a little crazy with buying markers after that. I have about 430 markers now. Copic and Prismacolor. I've went marker crazy. Thanks for putting out great videos like this Evan.

    Amazing. I'm just floored at how good these markers make the art look!

    The thing I love about Copics, is that it is almost like coloring with watercolors. The blending, and layering act in a very similiar manner to watercolors, but lack the need to concern yourself with as much lack of color and bleeding, plus worrying about water saturation in your paper. Oh, and I would love to see Black Cat done with Copics...shiny leather always comes across really well using them. Thanks!

    i just got a set of these marker and was sooooo lost on how to use them...ive been a broke artist so long i was so accustomed to brush...but the tutorial...really help me out so now i have the confidence to use them....

    I use regular printer paper for this drawing. The ink blends better. But you can also use bristol board too.

    Didn't realise until now just how versatile Copics are. You've sold me on them.
    Solid Batman by the way. Really digging the values. Nice work.

    Just got my first set of copics and really so thankful I found this tutorial because using them is honestly daunting.

  • @TXFDA
    @TXFDA 10 лет назад +24

    God I wish copics weren't so expensive. I only have 3. I couldn't really afford much, and the store I got them at didn't have a huge selection. So I figured instead of getting 3 random colors that didn't go together, I ended up getting 3 of the Cool Grey markers. C1, C3, and C5. My thought was, that at least I'd have 3 similar ones, and I could use it for b/w drawings. Turns out, they're like, my favorite things ever, but I still haven't gotten any more. I can't exactly afford like $5 per marker.

      @KisabellaLopez 10 лет назад

      Ebay has quite a few "lots" that are sold at around $3-$4 per marker. You might also consider opting for copic Ciao. They're the same as copic sketch with slight design differences and they hold less ink, but since copics are refillable you'll just end up refilling it more often than sketch markers. They're much cheaper, though.

      TXF what do you think is better: 0,1,3,5,7,9 cool grey or 0,1,2,4,6,8 cool grey. Right now i have no cool greys so i wanna add to my collection.

  • @gombuk1
    @gombuk1 7 лет назад

    Do you prefer the cool greys to the warm greys? When I use my copics, I generally use the warm greys, because they also work well with water soluble pencil. Very nice work, I like the look of the darker portion of his cowl as it comes forward, with the gradations visible around the edges. I'm gonna have to do some copic sketches now!

    Hi Evan, loving your videos... question > You are going over the same areas several times with these markers, is there a weight or type of paper you specifically use... or will good ol printer paper work? Thanks!

  • @inkblot985
    @inkblot985 10 лет назад

    This is great! Copic markers always seem like such a difficult beast when I pick them up. Your tutorial taught me how to tame the beast. Thank you sir.

  • @langelslshadowl
    @langelslshadowl 11 лет назад

    Really awesome drawing! Looks great! Though I'd like to mention that you can, in fact, go from darkest to lightest with copic sketch. I've used them for a few years now and practiced both ways. Basically going lightest to dark builds the colour but you can easily see the differences in tones, giving it a cell-shaded look, whereas going darkest to light blends the colours and gives it a softer feel. Neither is right or wrong, it's just what you prefer. I use both methods :)

  • @MMStrademark
    @MMStrademark 9 лет назад +1

    I hope you don't mind me asking, except what kind of editing program did you use to make that awesome opening intro? Especially the special effect for the your drawings to pop out of their drawings? Thanks for making these how to videos.I have yet to find a set of these markers, except I hope to so I can experiment with them.Thanks to your wonderful videos, they give me a lot of insight before I even buy them.

  • @JoroJojoro
    @JoroJojoro 8 лет назад

    Thanks for this video. I want to do value when drawing comics, and not just make it stark black and white, but I tend to abuse crosshatching to do that value, so using greys is definitely the best alternative to over the top crosshatching.

  • @ttaurus393
    @ttaurus393 8 лет назад

    Thank you sir this video was very helpful it was one of many videos I watch to see if I should get the copic markers you are a fantastic artist. I got my copic makers in today, and they are as amazing as you make them look, I took a break from drawing just to thank you. I appreciate it sir. Have a blessed day I just subscribed to your channel thanks again.

      Not sure. I've never used Posca markers before. That means it's time for you to do some experimenting.

    • @m0th-m0th-m0th-m0th
      @m0th-m0th-m0th-m0th 9 лет назад

      Very very VERY late but I felt like replying. Yes, but using gray normally isn't a best idea for shading. You should use a darker shade of the color.

  • @maydangerous

    Which direction is the light coming from? You have highlights both right and left side as well as on the nose (but then dark shadow right next to the nose). Does this mean light is coming from the right but with reflected light on the left?
    I find lighting a very tricky subject :)

    I have to ask you... have you ever played with Golden's "shading gray" fluid acrylic? (Lovely for shading sketches and works beautifully on gesso). Your shading technique made me think of it. Goodness, the magic you could probably create with that stuff!
    Anyway, your tutorials are wonderful. Yay you! And if I've planted the seed in your head to do a tutorial on shading with fluid acrylic, then yay me! :D
