«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 775 Newer› Newest»Yay, congrats on 1 year!!
I love all of your fabulous tutorials from beginner to advanced, there truly is something for everyone!
It has been a pleasure following your blog for the past year! You provide such great information and explicit detail. I think the best thing I've learned from your blog is the proper use of the blending marker...and the neat effects it can create! Thank you so much for sharing your creativity and knowledge!!
Where to begin. . .I have learned so very much from your blog, especially shading. Can't wait to get the new Spica colors in my stash!

I am addicted to Copics, and I love the tutorials you give to beginners, or anyone who has not been to art school! I have been taking mental notes on shading, light sources, etc., and I hope to get better withmore practice. Thank you for all you do, and thanks for the chance to win!
I'm too new to pick any one thing. I like the pictures that help with each description you give. I'm working on shading. I guess I'll always be working on shading. I've recently begun collecting my markers and have about 30 but that's not near enough to do a good job. I haven't noticed yet so if you don't already you could give free digi examples with each post so we could work on the exact same thing you showed in your post. How does it work with digi's??? Since you're suppose to use memento ink to stamp the images, what happens when you print the image from your computer? I have a Dell and use only Dell ink. Does the ink smear when you color the digi image? Is there a special ink to use for digi's. maybe you need to reply to this in an email, ms_cheryl_y@yahoo.com . I would absolutely be thrilled to win one of the sets you are giving away. Thank you so much, ms.cheryl
I have learned everything I needed to know to begin using copic markers and then some. Thanx for sharing and congrads on the anniversary! Cannot wait to see what else you create!

Congratulations on 1 year of blogging!
I'm a newbie to copic markers...so everything on your site is helpful to me. Keep up the great work! Thanks!!
what a super generous giveaway! thanks so much :)
Happy Blogoversary! Every time I read through your posting I take away something valuable. Most of all, your designs are so fabulous. Thank you for sharing!
I appreciate all you do to better equip all of us. Best wishes for another happy year of blogging.
I love to just look at your samples and try...TRY...to imitate the techniques. Thank you for sharing all your talents with us.
Happy Bloganniversary to you!`
I have been inspired to use the markers I do own more often. Even though I do not any yet. I instead use the markers I own along with using your techniques to create my version of your creations. Thanks so much!
Happy 1st year of blogging anniversary~
I can't really remember how I stumbled on your blog but I think it was from copicmarkers' myspace bulletin. I've learned plenty of things from this site from coloring, blending, shading, etc... Your site has very helpful tutorials with easy to understand step-by-step images.
Wow, I've learned just about everything I know about Copics from you! And I also learned just how much I love them from your site too! I was able to go to a Copic Certification class with Sally Lynn and learned of the many many possibilities with Copics! Thanks for the chance to win!
I love all the shading tutorials you have posted. Also the basics on what colors are needed to blend and how to blend them! Love this site and have sent many Copic friends here.
I have learned so much from your blog! My favorite thing is learning coloring and shading theory. Thanks so much for all you do!
OH WOW, Marianne, look at all of these commentators coming out of the closet!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope to win a set to help my friend Kelly get started. She just bought her first five last week and needs some more. She bought the blender, a neutral and two skin colors and a blush for pink cheeks and lips!
Hard to believe it has been a year!! I am so happy for you! HUGGGGGE HUGS, girlie, Nicole
Your site has been an invaluable asset/tool as I learned how to work with Copic Markers. I've gone from beginner baby steps to trying out some of the more advanced techniques. Most beneficial to me are the lessons on shading and light direction. I'm now working exclusively with Copics and using Magnolia images. Thanks for sharing your expertise with us all. And thanks for an opportunity to win some goodies.
I (am still) learning about shading and where and how light hits the subject. The tutorials you give are wonderful; written so that anyone can follow along. Whether or not we "get it"......
Thanks for all you do!
Hi Marianne. What a great giveaway, I'm so excited I want to win! I can't wait to try the spicas. I love my copics so much and I've learned so much from your blog. I liked the art theory blog from a couple of months ago and I learned a lot from the pine trees with snow on the branches, the icicles, the lilacs. I like the way you point out things I would have never noticed and then I get that "A-HA" feeling. Thanks for sharing with us. Maureen
Happy Blogaversary! Love your wonderful tutorials....I am still learning the ins and outs of Copics!
LeAnne
Congratulations on 1 year of blogging and thank you for all the invaluable information. I hope you enjoy many more years!!
Has it been a year already?! I have enjoyed you sharing your expertise on how to use my Copic markers, especially what cardstock and inks to use with them and basic techniques.
I don't own very many, but I TRY to blend my colors like you demonstrated. Thanks for a chance to win.
Kate
I am pretty new to your blog and Copic markers, so I haven't been able to check out your whole blog. I love that you list the specific markers for each project. I would like to see a video with a lot of closeups of blending. Thanks for a chance to win a great prize.
I have learned a lot about shading from your tutorials. Thank you!!!
I just found this blog, but I will be spending some time here. thanks.
I want to win!!! I love copics.
Thank you Marianne for this chance to win such a great prize!!
Happy Blogaversary to YOU! Wow this is some sweet celebration candy. It is so nice how you share your talent and tips with us in blogland. You Rock! Thanks
Congrats on 1 year! I can only wish I was as diligent as you in keeping up with posting! :)
I love Copics, but have just started to buy them....so I don't have that many yet. I love how simple your instructions are on how to properly shade things! Thanks for sharing your wealth of info!!
I learned that I want to become a Copic collector! I'm going to have to save my pennies to do it . . . or win some??? :)
Happy 1 Year Anniversary Marianne! I can't believe it's been a year already that you have shared your craft with us! We are all so lucky to learn from you! Thanks for the chance to win! :o)
What I've learned is how much I want these markers!
Thanks! I love to read your blog and see what you do with the Copics!
most valuable thing I have learned is how to use the blender pen. Not too mention all the other tips and tricks I have picked up. thnaks for blogging!
I can't believe it has already been a year!! Thanks so much for all the advice, I have learned so much from you.
I think a darker purple glitter marker would be awesome. Because I love purple and glitter :p
Also, had no idea that you could use them on fabric. Now I want to use them for shoes...
what totall wicked candy! Your blog is simply the best and you are sooo awesome!
Congrats on your blogaversary!! I have learned many things from you. the most important thing I have learned is a love for copics and the courage to try them. Thank you for daily inspiration. I have recently bought the airbrush system and would love to see more on it.
I love your blog - I am so in awe of your talent!
I've been growing my copic collection since Jan - I LOVE them! I've learned a lot from your blog, thanks for such a wonderful resource. I recently bought the airbrush system and I would love to add a few spicas as well :) Congrats on the one year blog anniversary :)
Great blog, happy blogaversary! :) - what I learned from your blog is to not be afraid to doodle :)
I just love visiting your blog! I'm sure my coloring has improved because of the sharing you have done. I just wish I had the talent in your pinky!!
Shortly after I started collecting copic markers, I stumbled upon your blog and I love that I always learn one new thing from each of the posts. I'm hoping I will be able to attend your certification class in San Diego!
Hi Marianne...Love your blog. All of you tutorials are just great. I really like/needed the tutorial about coloring things black!!! Thanks for sharing your talent with us:)
Liane
Shading and blending and everything!! I am new to Copics and doing alot of research. I don't own any pens as of yet so I desperately need to be picked!! :) I lost my job 18 months ago so I am trying to work some into my budget. I can't wait until I can get some!!
I am new to your site, but am glad I found it. I watched your 5-minute tutorial on Copic markers and can't wait to get some of my own!
Thanks for sharing!
What fun was it and looking at all the work people did.

Oh my gosh what a lovely prize to get the opportunity to win, thank you.
I can't even begin to tell you all that I have learned from your blog. There is only 2 places I go for copic marker information and your blog is one of them. I knew nothing about how to use Copic Markers and can now at least blend and shadow my creations. I have a note book full of things you have taught me and my computer has tons of bookmarks on your site. Color combinations is what I need to see more of. I know this is a personal preference in many occasions but guideline as to certain combos (dark - med - light) values that work well together. Many times I wind up with a combo that I think will blend well and look great only to find I haven't purchased the right combo to work with.
Happy 1 year anniversary. I just came back from the scrapbook store where I purchased my first copic markers. The lady at the store recommended your site as the best place to find information on how to use them. Thank you so much for sharing with us - thank you thank you thank you

Happy Blogaversary, Marianne! I've learned how much fun it is to use Copics! I've only begun my collection, but it is growing, thanks to all your encouraging "lessons" on your blog.
wow! what an incredible year! Congrats, and what an awesome giveaway!
Not only have I learned so much from your blog -- techniques, theory, tutorials; but also not to be afraid to experiment with colors, design and just let things go where they may. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and for the inspiration.
Sue
Without your blog...I wouldn't even know about Copics! Your tutorials are always well written! I've learned(a lesson which time and time I try to deny) is the right tools make all the difference. Copics are truly wonderful.
I'm new to Copics & the proud owner of only 20 - NEED more colors!!! Thanks for a chance to win this awesome prize & all your valuable knowledge!

Hello! Just found your site, and it looks amazing. :D
Hee, I like markers, too, and would absolutely love to try out some Copics! Thanks!
Thank you so much for sharing your talent, I've learned so much from you! Love the shading and blending technique.
Wow! I would love to win one of these sets! This week has been such a great chance to widen my collection of Copic products.
I save/bookmark most of your Copic projects! They have helped me learn my Copic markers so much better.
I am so grateful for stumbling on this blog and all of the other great ones! :)
I think my most valuable lesson was how to use the blending solution to make animal fur look more real.
WOW, I HAVE LEARNED THAT THEY ARENT JUST MARKERS, THEY ARE LIFE SAVERS, GOSH I HAVE A FEW AND I WANT MORE!!!!
Wow, Just read a few of these comments you have really helped so many people with thier colouring Marianne. Copics should be very pleased with you too!! you've certainly spread the word!!!
For me the thing you've given me is the confidence to have a go, play with my copics (I've still got a way to go)for this THANKYOU. I hope you enjoy the next 12 months.
I've been reading your blog for a while now, and I finally couldn't stand it any more and ordered some copic markers two days ago. I'm so excited! Can't wait for them to come!
I think everything you've taught us is valuable. I especially like the shading, lighting, and blending part of the lesson.
What did I learn? I learned that I "needed" to get Copic markers, I wanted to take the Certification class, and lots about using the markers.
I now have a wonderful set of Copic Sketch markers......I can hardly go anywhere w/o them!
I learned lots at the Certification class in Anaheim! I'm still learning as I listen to my recording of it often.
I'd love to win this prize!
Happy Blogiversary!
I have learned that I have a lot more to learn on how to use my copics. I'm getting better but there is so much more room for improvement. I'm keeping my eye on the August class here in Vancouver.....:) crossing my fingers I can go.....
Shading with Copics and your tutorials have made me look like a pro. Congrats on you first year.
....may you have many more
Congrats on blogging and all the creativity your share. So enjoy it.
Happy Anniversary! I can't wait to try copics!
Hi, Great blog candy! I went from scared silly about copics to being madly in love by reading your blog. Keep it up!
Congrats on your blogoversary! I've learned so much from your blog, but love the posts about shading the most.
Terrific blog candy! What a treat for the winner of all those goodies!
I have enjoyed following your blog over the last year and look forward to lots of new posts. Thanks for sharing your expertise with us!

Happy 1 year of Blogging to you Marianne! I've learned so much from your blog and especially from attending certification with you. Hmmm what's one of the things I've learned? Practise, practise, practise!!
I've learned so much from your blog & especially from Copic Certification. One thing I've learned - PRACTISE, PRACTISE, PRACTISE!!
Most important thing I learned was how to shade and how to erase my mistakes with the blender pen.
I am learning so much about the copic markers and can't wait to grow my collection. All of the tips are so helpful!
Oh man! What didn't I find helpful on your blog is a better question. I come back to your blog over and over again! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge, skill and artistry!
Happy Blogaversary Marianne! Love all the neat things you teach us!
Congratulations, Marianne! and thank you for a wonderful year of tips and techniques. I started off printing off the info from all your blogs, afraid you would go away, now I know you're here to stay and I can just look them up and save the paper!!! Now that I'm collecting the markers, I guess some of the most important info has been how to use the blender pen, although I hate to narrow down all my valuable data to one!!! I'm glad you are such a success with us all...and thank you again for generously sharing your knowledge with all of us. Cheryl Outhier
Congratulations on the blogaversary. I would say that I have learned I HAVE to get some copics! Papercrafting is such an enabling addiction.
I've learned so much from this blog. I found it almost a year ago and didn't own a single Copic. Not true anymore, and thanks to this blog, I got into one of your classes where I learned even more. The most important thing I learned has been about choosing the right colors for blending. I'm still practicing, but can see a lot of progress in a short amount of time.
Thank you for so much inspirationa and information!
I have learned that I want these copic markers.. Happy 1 year!!! Seeig what u can dowith these markers really makes me want them.
Congrats on the anniversary! Blending! LOVE Love love all the tips for blending colors, thank you!
I am just growing my copic marker collection and I love them. The online help is great. Now if I could just figure out how to colour for a living that would be living the dream.
Oh, what a fun prize! I love the Spica pens and have been dying to get some more. Keeping my fingers crossed.
Hi,
This is my first time here at your blog and I am overwhelmed at the talent (especially that little turtle). I've always wanted to learn how to color period whether it be with crayons, color pencils or even better markers but I've always been intimidated. The inspiration on your blog (just by quickly glancing at it) seems to have all the basics to get a novice like me started. Thanks for sharing!! I'll definitely be stopping by regardless of whether I win anything just viewing is enough to get me starting a little collection (eventually).
Me? I even leave comments when there is nothing to win. This would be a fun package to have, thanks for the chance.
Happy Blogaversary! Thank you for the chance to win these lovely goodies. I have wanted to give Copics a try for a while. They are at the top of my wishlist.
I have just discovered the joys of these markers. Thank you for all the lessons you give here. They a great for a newbie like me.
Oh my gosh has it been a year already?? Your blog has been such a plethora of information!! Whenever I run into a problem or have a question, you blog is the first place I run to. It has been fantastic for tips, hints, ideas and so much more. I would love to see more techniques on colouring. (I know that's quite vague here!) For example, with stamps...showing what areas to shade, where shadows would occur and how much shading? <---as there are different intensities in certain areas kwim? That would help me take my colouring to that next step!
Keep it up!!
Cheers!
Hugs

Hello! I have to practice, practice, practice... Thanks for the chance to win this awesome of goodies!
Congratulations on your one year blogiversary! I've learned so much from your blog, but the lessons on where to place shadows and highlights were some of the most useful to me. Thanks so much!
A year wow! Good for you! Your tutorials are amazing. Your the one who taught me how to color in hair. I love copics. I love the new spicas, they are on my wish list.
thanks again for your time and energy in this blog.
I have learned so much being a new person to copic markers. How to shade, paper and ink to use any many more. Your tutorials are fabulous for a beginner to learn everything they need to know about copics.
I love visiting your blog, there is so much to learn. You are very clear in your instructions, and easy to follow. Thanks for a chance at the giveaway!
Happy Anniversary! What a great prize you're giving away.
I love the blog candy. I read alot about Copics on your blog before taking the plunge and getting some. You have alot of valuable info. Thanks for sharing it all with us!!

Happy Anniversary! I'll bet you can hardly believe that an entire year has gone by already! I love coming to your blog for inspiration and little reminders of what I learned when I took the certification class with you in Charleston. You are a really gifted teacher and your blog is a wealth of info. Thanks for the chance at an awesome goodie package.
This year I learned the basics of Copic markers color descriptions.
It really helped me pick out my first
ones to purchase. I have enjoyed
learning about shading especially
in flowers. I would love learning
more about what colors go together
in regard to the color wheel. Thank
you so much for all the effort you
put into your posts so we can enjoy
this great art!
I took your certification class in Mystic and I really enjoy coming back to the blog to refresh my memory on technique.
Congratulations. Thanks for the chance to win. I can hardly wait to learn how to use copics to their best advantage...i'm attending the class in Winnipeg on saturday. WOOHOO!
I don't own any Copics yet, but find your blog fascinating. Thanks for all the effort you put in to educating us.
Hi Marianne
Happy blogsiversary!
The best thing I've learned from you is in your Thursday, August 21, 2008 post :"Shadows part 2 - Basic Shadow Guide". I draw a sun and the parallel lines on a plastic piece to guide me with light and shadow. I understand highlight and shadow but I can't visualise it so this little guide and your explanations are worthed a million for me. Thanks a lot. Thanks for a chance to win those great blog candy.
Everything I've learned from your blog has been extremely helpful. I was fortunate enough to take your Copic certification class in Seattle last June and your blog is the best because its a mini refresher every time I visit. I can honestly say everything I've learned from you has made me a better rubber stamper and, dare I say it, a little bit more of an artist. Thanks for the chance to win!
Happy one year to your blog!! I think the best thing I learned from your blog was about how to use the colourless blender!
I just started doing paper arts this year, and sometimes it can be overwhelming! I am really interested in understanding how Copic markers work with airbrushing, before I spend a lot of money going in that direction :).
Wow, thank you so much for the opportunity to win these
Happy Blogaversary! Best thing I learned was that I won't ruin my markers when I blend. So now I can experiment without worry! Thanks so much.
I'm so glad you started blogging - I've learned lots of things about copics and coloring and shading! I need lots of instructions on shading and light sources!!
Happy Anniversary! Thank you for all the great links to so many creative people and for all your instructions. It's been fun and inspiring. Sandra D.
As I am a newbie, everything on your blog is interesting and exciting for me. I especially loved the tutorial for coloring transparent balloons.
Thanks for the blog candy!!
wow what a great prize... I love learning new ways to use my markers from your blog.
I learned how to shade and also how do color faces! This is a great giveaway
Happy Blog-anniversary! You have been a wonderful resource for me. Love all of your Copic tips!
Wow great prize, I just discovered your blog and copic and I want them all. I've learned that I need to move from CA to Utah so I can take one of your classes. Ha ha don't I wish, but a girl can dream!! Thanks for all the inspiration and the chance to win.
I have learned that with a little patience and your guidance I can color. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and great tutorials. Also thank you for the opportunity to win.
Please, please, pretty please pick me---I just completed the copics class in Smithville Ohio with Sweet Sally Lynn---she talked so much about you and said many, many nice things about you!!! Love your blog---thanks for all the info you share---so very much appreciated!!!

Thanks for being a great teacher and Happy BLOGaversary!
oooohhh i wish i lived closer to utah! is it possible to get the certification class taught in Atlanta? thanks for the chances to win!!
your blog covers so many great topics :) i love that markers are their own medium. I like the blender stone tutorial you did recently.
congrats on the anniversary :)
Congrats on one year of blogging! You are such a marvelous teacher. You have taught me so much about shading, and looking at the sources of light on a shape. I particularly liked the one about the lilacs. Thank you for a chance to win!
Wow what a prize package. Congratulations on 1 year of blogging! I have learned that there is a lot to the art of using markers!
I am the proud owner of Two, count them Two Copics! LOL! I would love to own more, but I make do with the two i have. Your blog lets me see what I CAN do once I have more and introduces me to all kinds of techniques! I enjoy checking you out to see what you will do next!
I've learned how to coordinate colors when coloring hair and skin, but still practicing, lol! Love your blog!
Congratulations on your 1 year mark!
I really love all the information you have on coloring skin.
I had taken a class on Copics & was pretty impressed on how much information I already knew from reading your blog. So cool! It's more like what haven't I learned?!
I find myself looking forward to each post you make with anticipation to see what you'll do & what we can learn.
Thanks for all the time you put in on your tutorials. Everything you do is invaluable & appreciated by all! : )
Cheers to Marianne, the Copic Guru!
I've learned so much from your blog! So many techniques. Thanks for sharing with us!! :-)
Happy Anniversary Marianne! I've learned that there is so much more that i want to learn about Copic Markers. I've really enjoyed getting more help with blending and shading, with has helped me tremendously. Thank you!
Happy Blogaversary! What haven't I learned, hee! You are awesome and I love that I can come and browse your entries at my leisure! Thanks for the chance to win!
Huge congratulations. You have an amazing blog that teaches and inspires. In fact, your blog inspired me to get certified and now tomorrow I'm teaching my second Copic 101 class to 8 people!
I'd love copic to give us an airbrush system adaptor so we can use our Ciaos in them. And can I have a Calligraphy nib for my Ciaos as well? Not that I'm greedy or anything, but can I also have a case for them that rolls up? It would be so much easier to pack!
Thank you again for the inspiration and education.
I love when you show us how to make various shapes/animals with the tip of the markers-such a fun and easy way to "draw"! Thanks
I love watching you show us how to color. I love copics and am amazed at what an awesome job they do. I am jealous that you have such a cool job! Keep up the good work!
The most valuable thing I've been learning from your blog is how to shade things more realistically.
I have learned so much from you... so much. 1) I learned that I NEEDED copics - I saved enough $$ to buy a small set. 2) I learned how to use my limited # of markers to create a wide range of colors and highlights and shadows. I learned how to use the colorless blender to create depth and texture. 3) I learned that you can never have too many Copics and how I need more.
Thanks for all that you do and Happy Blogaversary!!!!
ooh, this is a fabulous prize!!
The best thing I learned from your blog was that you were having a class in Milwaukee, WI last summer and lucky me I got to attend it!! I have been reading your blog since the beginning so congrats on your one year blogiversary.
Happy Blogaversary! Thanks for all the information you have shared. I wish I could take another class with you to spend more time working on techniques. I guess I really just need to practice. I look forward to more info and tutorials on your blog.
I'm just at the point of making the plunge into the Copic world and have been reading all of your entries - so thanks for the valuable information - and thanks for the chance to win!
One of the most valuable things I learned was how to use my colorless blender & how to use all those Greys.... I look forward to seeing more of your gorgeous works of art & learning new things to do with Copics in this coming year!!!

I'm just beginning to learn how to color with the copics and I read everything I can to see the techniques. thanks for the chance to win!
I'm just beginning to learn how to color with the copics and I read everything I can to see the techniques. thanks for the chance to win!
I am new to the world of copics and have a whole lot to learn! Thanka for this site!
What an amazing prize!
I've learned lots of things, I stalk your blog daily... but I think the thing that makes me the happiest is your blog actually inspired me to get some Copics and do a few of my own cards!
I knew so much by the time I did, that I actually liked my first card! Thanks so much!
What a celebration!!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge of Copics with us Marianne. I've especially enjoyed the blending techniques. Coloring is so much more fun because of Copics!!! :) Happy Blogaversary!
Happy anniversary and thanks for the chance to win!
I've just started using Copic markers. I've learned which ink and paper to use and some good tips for beginners from your blog. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise.
Hello! Happy blogisversary :D!~~
I'm so happy i found your blog because it's been really helpful! I think one of the most important things that helped me was learning what the colorless blender can do. I bought one and never used it, but now i've learned there's all sorts of ways you can use it ^^. thank you!
~frozen.peaches@gmail.com
Wow, thank you for the opportunity! I have learned how to pick the Copic set that is best for my use, how to blend, how to assemble the air brush and much much more! I want to talk everyone I know into giving me Copic's as Birthday, Christmas, and Mother's Day presents until I have them ALL!
I have learned through your blog and your Copic certification class that Copics are THE best coloring medium. I have learned how to confidently use them and get good results...so thank YOU!!!!
cammie22@hotmail.com
I am a huge fan of your blog. Come here daily and will be taking the copic plunge very soon. Thanks for the change to win.

Oh pick me please! wow!
Happy Blogiversary!!! I love your blog because it inspires me. I love learning tricks and techniques and drooling over your artwork.
Thanks to all your tips and hints and instruction, I can color with copics and (usually) be very happy with my final outcome. Selecting the direction the light shines and where the resultant shadows fall has made the biggest improvement in my coloring... and I really appreciate the design lessons you incorporate as well. With great appreciation for your time and efforts,
melissa
I just got a few of the older colors of the spica's and am just loving them. They just give the copic a little extra boost! Would love a chance to win the new colors!Thank You!
dedgson@xplornet.com
It will be lovely to win. Copics are one of my big dreams.
I have learned so much about the different types of Copics and what each can be used to do. Also what those numbers and letters mean on each marker. And of course SO MUCH about how to use my markers to color! :o)
Wow, your giving away an awful lot, not that I will complian...LOL Happy Blogversary!
Hi Marianne,
I've been checking in to your blog from time to time and exploring your tutorials and archives and learning a lot I've been able to apply to my non Copic markers (SU, etc.) I'd love to play with Copics but it's been a tight year so that will have to wait unless fate, God, random.org and you decide otherwise. On the other hand once I do get those lovely pens in my hand I'll at least have an idea of what to do with them thanks to you and all the wonderful Copic loving bloggers out there!
Thanks for increasing the knowledge, awareness and especially for adding to the inspiration out here in the ether and in your workshops.
Hugs and blessings and a final congratulations on your blogaversary. Thanks you so much for sharing the presents with your greedy (oops grateful...) readers.
:D - Jean
me,me, me, I am waving my hands back and forth, do you see me? I want to win!!
I am new to the whole Copic adventure, so winning this prize would be a GREAT way to get started! And I cannot ask about any techniques, cause I don't even know the basics!
I love all the coloring techniques you've shown. I really love the different colors for coloring skin.
great "candy"!! honestly, what I have learned from you was to not be afraid to actually put one color on top of another (MORE THAN ONE TIME!!)-lol... layering anyone?? thanks for all you help and tips!
Adding my hat to the ring!
I have been very hesitant to take the plunge with Copics, but my goodness! You are so kind and gentle in your encouragement, you make me believe I can do anything! I've started with a few and I'm afraid I'm well on the way to becoming addicted.
Thank you for all you've done to encourage so many of us. Happy one year, and may there be many more!
Best Wishes,
Mary O.K.

Happy Blogaversary! I just want you to know, that through a good friend of mine, Lynne, she gave me your blog site to learn and I have learned so much from reading your tutorials, It has made it easier to understand how copics work and given me the tools to learn and practice with them, which has given me the obsession to have as many as I can get my hands on:-)
Thank you for a chance at the blog candy you are giving away! and enjoy many more years here!!

Wow, so many things I have learned, I am "hoping" you have space for open enrollement for the NC class later this month. I color with my markers, but need to learn more to justify my investment!!! Thank you for all the ideas and tutorials, awesome!
Since I don't have any Copics....yet my post is to day hello!
Oh, it's hard to pick just one thing because I appreciate everything you have shared. I have used your advice on how to do shading and coloring faces the most. I love my copics but NEED more! hahaha! I haven't tried the spicas yet but I sure would like to.
Happy Blogaversary!
I have learned so much....my favorite and most benefitial has been the shading series you've done. I still have a lot to learn and lots of practice, practice, practice! Thank you for the instructions and inspiration!
Congrats on the 1 year anniversary! I am so glad I got to attend one of your certification classes. Between that and your blog, I have gained confidence in using my markers - as well as learned that it is okay to just practice and doodle.
Congrats Marianne! I always read your posts (some are way over my head), & appreciate how informative the info is. I print many, to carry into my stamp area. I'd still love to see more on SIMPLE shading, how to make it look more natural. Thank you sooo much!
When I first got my copics I thought my coloring looked just terrible. What a difference some instructions can do. Thank you.
Congrats on the first year! :)
May other years follow be just as successful.
I was sent to your blog to get info as a "Copic-Newbie." I look forward to trying them out!
I can't possibly pick just one thing that I've learned from you! You have been an invaluable tool in my learning how to use Copics! Thanks so much!
Copic copic ...just can't live without them,,and you know what? I need all of them.

Didn't know anything about copics before I visited your blog! Shading and blending techniques are the most valuable things I've learned! laura j
Wow! This is my first time to your blog and in just scrolling through two pages, I have learned quite alot about how to use copics that I didn't know before--coloring on fabric is especially interesting to me. I would love to win these markers. I really enjoy the end results of working with copics, but I am never brave enough to invest since I don't know what to get. Thank you for sharing!
I have learned a million things from your blog....I loved the info on air brushing. I also love all of the detailed coloring info. I have saved every blog post in a folder to look over when I get a few minutes to play. Thanks for all of the great info! I would love to win....I don't have any of the spica pens yet and really want some!

I have learned a lot about choosing colors, the right colors say for skin, for hair and how to blend them to make them natural but also make them pop! Your are a fabulolus source and I can't wait to keep building my collection. Thanks for everything! Happy Blogiversary!
Copic's are the best. I have some but look forward to getting all of them. Hope I get picked.
I love your posts! I learn new things every time I open them up! I save them all in a folder so I can refer back to them when I get a chance to play with my copics! I really enjoyed the airbrushing tutorials! It definitely sold me on buying the kit and compressor! I also like the paper comparison.
