2. @.@ Really? Well no problem, even for you running out ish nice!! I have heard of the epicness of RV Copic markers, and seeing this just makes me realize how epic they TRULY are!! XD ONE day I shall get some lol!
I do recommend them for an investment piece. BUT- shop. around. the. internet! You can find some good deals on Mom-and-Pop website/stores and get totally ripped off on places like AMAZON/EBAY. My collection started with 10 grey tone originals... I now have about 162 sketch markers and 40 of the 'ink refills' because you can well- refill them. a $5 refill gives you 10 sketch markers worth of ink so instead of rebuying a color 10 times at $4 a pop- you see the appeal.
Also you can find people like me who sell off their recently refilled 'doubles' (I didn't KNOW about refills for a long time. So I have about 20-30 'doubles' of my markers I refilled and replaced the nibs on so they are like brand new I wanna sell cheaply to someone who wants to start using them)
Your fox is still adorable. >^.^<
xDD lol, that is too funny and sweet.
Oh yush, I know I need to do some research.. o.o; lots of it to.. Huh, thought ebay would have been good. Refills?! O.O Well I'm glad I asked you.. I didn't even KNOW that the markers had refills ^.^;
O3O Got it.. I will have to check for that to. Of course, I need to start drawing more before I even consider markers.. ^.^; (Well that's nice
>w< It took me for-EVER to find him trust me lol!
ALSO! The nibs are replaceable so if they wear out or something- I've had some markers for 5 full years and I've not had to replace a nib on them. I've only bought 2 packages of the superbrush nibs (packs of 3) and I've only used 3... I use the superbrush side 90% of the time. So- QUALITY.
For great shopping sites with awesome customer service I usually go to-
creativeplaystamps.com
copicmarkerS.com
dickblick.com between the 3 I find the best prices and yeah it means I am placing 3 orders but Creativeplay doesn't always charge for shipping, and CopicMarkerS is reasonable.
I agree- practice, practice, practice. But start your collection a few colours here and there when you can but get things that blend together that you can't use say other markers for like... skin tones. E000 Pale Fruit Pink E00skin white, E21 Babyskin Pink, E11 Barley Beige- I use ALL THE TIME but if you can only get 2? E00 Skin White and E21 Baby Skin Pink was where I started. >^.^<
Good luck and let me know how things go! i STILL love your icon
