Good afternoon!
I keep seeing lots of images beautifully coloured with Copics and Promarkers. After much umming and ahhing I decided to buy a pack of 5 Copic Ciaos (Manga set 3) to see how I got on with them. I really liked them and was surprised how useful just 5 colours were - but as I'm sure to get bored with this palette I have succumbed and ordered a set of 36 pens (I am blessed with a wonderful partner who said I could have these).
I know before they arrive that I will probably still need some individual pens, that won't be in the set, e.g. for skin tone and also for outlining the images and this is where I need some help please. Can anyone recommend good colours for skin and outlining?
Here's my first attempt with the set of 5 pens.
Please don't look too closely - I need lots more practice!
Many thanks.

Welcome to the copic club. They are so addictive to use. I use Eoo for skin, for a darker tone, I use E31. The nice thing about copics is if you don't have a color that matches exactly you can blend them together to make custom colors. Hope this helps. Can't wait to see more.
These are brilliant Clare, I love those colopurs. Can you tell me if you managed to get them at a good price as I am also thinking of getting some to see how I get on with them. I have some promarkers skin tones on order as I was told these were better than copics for skin tones but there seems to be far more colours available in Copics.
