Watch the unboxing video for all of the details:

I have used Copics in the past for airbrushing. Here is a 2013 video where I am using the airbrushing system with a stencil I designed:
Thanks for stopping by!
I had never understood the Copic numbering system, so it was cool to learn that. BUT I’m still not a fan. Having to stare at the number & decode its meaning is not something I want to deal with — I much prefer the sample swab of paint on the Golden acrylic bottles that show you in a glance how opaque and bright (or not) the colors are. I also find alcohol pens in general awkward to use; they don’t blend the way I want them to. But that’s just me.
As for the kneadable eraser, I wonder if it works better on regular paper than it does on the marker paper?

I’m with you on the copic markers. I got them a number of years back as a recommended supply for a long ago class. I wasn’t impressed much and had difficulty getting the kind of effect I like.

if there are copic police, are there other art supply police? i don’t care for supply rules and i try out stuff a LOT. like, oops, that did *not* work. Dina says “they’ll always make more paper” and “oops, oh well” which i often repeat. i’m here for the play, not necessarily a result.
like paint, i have done marker swabs and colored pencil swabs which have been really helpful. same for inks and other liquid colors. also, this medium over that medium. these swabs and tests are fun to casually bind. i love all these little resulting books of different substrates and media!
i’m rather picky with colors and media so i don’t think i’d ever be very happy with surprise boxes so these videos are especially fun for me. thanks for sharing the fun and the lessons, too, Julie!!!

I also had no idea of the numbering system for Copics so I learned something new. Thank you for playing even while you don’t feel 100%.
