Wow, I cannot believe it has been a year already! I bookmarked the blog sometime last year, perhaps August or Sept. Time flies when you're having fun. I absolutely LOVE your coloring and drawing instructions. TFS.
Marianne - Congrats on the blog anniversary. I have loved your blog over the past year. I had not even heard of Copics until winter. I have learned so much from you about shading, blending, color combos, how to get the most out of your markers, airbrushing. Thanks for all your help!
I just learned about your blog so I have not learned anything yet!! but I am going to catch up - happy anniversary anyway!
Marianne

Hi Marianne,
I love all your shading and shadow tutorials.
I absolutely love copic's. I am learning new tricks everyday. And am happy to find more tutorials on blogs about them. Thank you for the chance of winning.
Wow what a wonder gift...... you are going to make someone a very happy person.
Also want to thank you for your wonder site and all the time you put into it. It is so refreshing to see someone that will share all this information.
Love your tutorials!!!!
Carolyn
Congratulations. I love the shading techniques since that is something I need help with.
I also don't have any copics and have been dying to get some. This would be an awesome prize to win because then I'd be able to properly work along side you.
Thanks for the opportunity.
I have 4 Copics, and I love them! I would absolutely love to have more! Congrats on 1 year, here is to another wonderful year!
angel31877@yahoo.com
I still haven't taken the Copic plunge but with each new project I see, I get a little more courage. Thanks for sharing your talent!
I love your blog with all the "beginner" tips and tricks. I've tried following along. I've made blog fish and ducks. It's a great information resource for copic and references to others. Thanks!
thanks for a chance to win!!!!!!! i love copics!!
The best thing i learned from this blog is shading! I now love shading!! Thanks for all you do!
hugs
I took the certification class- loved it and now I'm addicted to the sketches, the spicas and your blog! I love the specific color advice you give, and the news! Thanks so much!
My goodness!!! How awesome!!! This is so great. I am still trying to get my copic collection started so I haven't been able to do much but I try. I love how you always explain how to do the highlighting when you color to remember where the light is coming from. You are great, thanks.
I love all the really cool things I have learned to do with the colorless blender.
I have to say that just about everything I have learned at your site is on the top of my list of most useful things I have learned. I guess you helped me learn to be content with the markers that I have! Thanks for the chance to win!
I am new to your blog today and new to copic markers. I have not seen them in person so I adding my name to your drawing. I'm sure I would love them too after I try them!
Thanks
OMG! Look at all the comments. There is no way I'll win! I've learned so much from you that I can't list it all. Even though I don't have any copics, it still helps with me using Prismacolor Markers. Happy one year and pick me!!! hehe
I just recently learned about your blog and hope to learn how to use the few Copic markers I have already purchased. Everyone who has them seems to love them. Thank you for the chance to win some!
I have you learned that you are a very talented artist who loves to share with others!
Thanks for all the inspiration and sharing of your talents!
Sandra

I am still pretty new to Copics and your blog, but have learned about shading and light. Have never tried the multiliners, but maybe soon!
Thanks for all of your techniques and knowledge.
I have learned to COLOR as an adult. Only our crayons have changed (maybe a few techniques too). Thanks.
Would love to win the Copic Markers.
Oh my - I have learned - I have learned - I have learned. Your blog has just been a wealth of into and I have been like a sponge soaking it all in. Thank you so much for all the info you've shared with us - you are a treasure house of info

I too am just learning... and you've already been a big help! So, thanks, and congrats on your first anniversary...
What a generous thing for you to do! I recently got a set of Copics (72) and am still learning how to use them...so far, so good! No Spica's yet...next on my list. Love the tutorials!!!
Jan Castle
Love your blog. I've learned how to be better at shading and to not be afraid to do it.
OH i love these markers and i thank you for the chance to win some more!
Dawn Knight
I have learned that Copics are much like drugs, highly addictive and hard on the bank account! I'm looking forward to seeing more of everything! Thanks so much for the lessons and inspiration Marianne!
Happy Anniversary. I just got my first few markers for Mothers Day as a gift. I was directed here for great information. I am reading as fast as I can. Thanks ever so much for making this avail.
You've taught me how to make my illustrations look professional w/ your blending techniques =o) and YES, coloring is FUN again, tehehe ^_^
The techniques you share and ways to colour have helped me so much get back into enjoying colouring again!!
Thanks so very much!!
Cath

Thank you for your very information and inspirational website. I have been able to use my markers to a much greater extent because of your clear and concise guidance in so many areas from refilling inks to basic shape drawing and shading techniques. Your hard work is very much appreciated. Your give away is also fantastic as it is all the markers that I have not bought yet. And please have another certification class in Ohio!!!! bobbkat1@aol.com
Hi Marianne,
So glad I found your blog and the wonderful giveaway. I have never had any Copic markers but love to see the wonderful art that you do with them. Thank you for this chance to win the great prize. Love from Southeastern IL, Lin
I'm a newbie with the Copics! I'd appreciate any guidance and direction especially blending. What I've seen I like, so I definitely want to see more!
The most valuable thing I have learned from your blog is how to color 'snow' other than just leaving the image alone.
Happy blog anniversary! Thanks for the opportunity to win some great blog candy too.
What a great blog - love all info on shading.
I would love some copic markers - please put my name in the draw.
I have learned everything I know about Copics from your site, so there's no way to tell you everything! LOL
Happy Anniversary. I have learned so much from you, but I would have to say that the one I most appreciate is the tips on coloring faces/skin. It has really helped make my cards so much better. Thanks!!!
I have learned that I need waaaayyy more copics. I have 8 of them and no one selss them where I live so I have to go to Michigan to get them. Please pick me so I don't have to drive to Michigan for awhile!
Ehhh gats I would love it!!!
Wow! A year already...congratulations. I have learned a lot from your blog. Shading, color combinations and more. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I have learn the right way to use my copics and especially on the focus on where the light shines. Also learned I need then all.
Congrats on your one year anniversary, yea Ü
I would say I've learned that Copics are more forgiving when correcting coloring errors. You can actually take color away which is hard to do with other marker mediums. Thanks for all you do!
love copics....please pick me!
I would say the biggest thing I learned was about how to blend with the pens - I started out just using the colorless blender to blend and it looks soooo much better to do it the way I learned from you!!!
Hi Marianne!
Congratulations on a full year of blogging! It was a pleasure meeting you at Summer CHA last year and learning from you in your certification class.
One of the best aspects to your blog is your well-defined examples. Your illustrations are perfect!
Thanks!
Lisa
I've learned alot--I just can't narrow it down to one thing.
Wow One year already! Happy Birthday to "I Like Markers" I've been reading your stuff for that whole year, I've tried new stuff and I keep going outside my "box". Thanks for all your inspiration! I look forward to many more years.
Jannette D.
I am just now learning about Copics and would love to win!
Thanks,
Lori
Congratulations on your blogaversary! Your blog really has just been a wealth of information for me. I'd even venture to say that it was the sole reason I even started purchasing some. I think the most valuable thing I've learned on your blog has been shading and shadows. I just love that stuff. Thanks so much for the chance to win a fabulous prize!!!
I have wanted to try the spicas and this would be a nice opportunity. Very nice colors.
Your info is absolutely wonderful. Shading, texturing the whole idea of "pushing" the color versus "blending"...thanks for the understandable explanations and multiple examples - looking forward to another year of great ideas, information and tips!
I found your blog through someone's blog, through another someone's blog...and it goes on. But, I have been back and back. You are amazingly talented!!!
OK so I have just purchased my first Copics 15 of them...I took a class last night and it was informative but not at all what I exspected we didn't really get to play with them very much and I still had a ton of questions and then...........I came across your site and BINGO everything I ever wanted to know about Copics right there in front of me........so right now I am sitting here playing with my new markers and reading all you info and trying new things.....THANK YOU THANK YOU.......PLEASE PICK ME .....this is one site I have bookmarked as my fav..... thanks Lori
Congratulations on your blogiversary! I ♥ the Spica pens. Thanks for a great giveaway.
What a fantastic prize. I don't currently own any Copics...yet anyway...but I love to see how you do shading.
Charmaine
I learned that these are great markers and I need them if I could fit them in my budget!!! I hope I get picked!
I am learning alot about the copic markers in general, one for certain is that there are soo many to choose from and that they certainly do make the item you are coloring so much brighter and life like. I am hoping to attend a class to learn how to use these matkers in the near future. Thank you for your contribution to my education!
I just picked up my first Copic markers recently - they are so nice to work with!
Pick me! I have a few copic markers and plan to buy a few every couple of weeks or so. These would be a great start to my collection!
Happy Anniversary and Wishing you continued success in your business.
This is wonderful blog candy and thank you for the chance to try for it..
