I was cleaning off my desk and I noticed that I missed a blog post about one of my new books, Intro to Coloring With Copic Markers.
This new Coloring Foundations book is a must have for anyone who wants the scoop on how to use Copic markers! I wrote this book with clear, step-by-step tutorials to guide you through everything from smooth coloring to basic blends. From creating patterns, to properly adding highlights and shadows in a still-life. Images are clean and easy to follow along with, incorporating a good balance of simple to complex techniques.All the books in the Coloring Foundations series are full color and include text in both English and Spanish. Tutorial images and blank color charts are in the back of each book, ready to be photocopied onto good marker paper.
You can purchase a copy of Intro to Coloring With Copic Markers from the Copic website, or
you can also choose to get an autographed copy of Intro to Coloring with Copic Markers.
Better yet, why don't you leave a comment here on my bog for a chance to win your very own autographed copy?! I'll draw a winner on Wednesday next week. (Limited to residents of US and Canada only, sorry!)
I had a lot of fun writing this book, and I tried to fill it with as many useful things as I could. I hope you find it helpful in your creative process. Good luck winning a copy!
I would so love to win this! I have been wanting to get my feet wet with copics but have no idea how to begin. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, looks like a great book! I love the cat with fish image. Thanks for the chance to win it!
ReplyDeleteI am a beginner with a few copics - my 9 year old daughter is intrigued by them and wants me to teach her. This book would be a great learning tool for both of us!
ReplyDeleteI have been self-teaching myself copics, so this book would certainly speed up the process. Great looking book!
ReplyDeleteI think this book will be a must for anyone who uses Copics! I love coloring books but this one will be perfect for me so I can get better and more confident using my Copics!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a great book. I'm pretty much self-taught so could certainly use some good tips.
ReplyDeleteI've learned so much from your blog over the years! and lately I've been helping some ladies who are new to Copics. This book would be a great resource for me and them!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your book - looks awesome - thank you for the opportunity to win it!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah.. You have a new book! Congrats!! I could really use some of your great tips
ReplyDeletePerfect! I am about to retire from my job and the first thing on my bucket list is to really learn to use Copics correctly. Some of the things I see just blow me away and I want to learn to color like that. Thanks for your help in learning new things!
ReplyDeleteI would love this book. I have been wanted to try coloring and this looks like the perfect way to start

I've only been playing with Copics for the past year, so I have quite a ways to go with learning different processes. I'd love to win your book!!
ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan of this blog and Marianne! The instructions and tips/tricks are clear: they get easier to implement with regular practice coloring. The use and mention of color theory can be intimidating or trigger PTSD for art students/majors. The flow in Marianne's tutorials/writing make even stressful attempts at copying her just disappear. Thanks for a chance to win the autographed book :-)

ReplyDeleteI'm probably too late to enter this contest, but I would really love to get this, and all the books on coloring with copics. I have only recently discover them and only have a few. I'm leaning what I can from the internet, but really need something more tangible to practice with to help me really learn it. Unfortunately, this is not a pastime I can really afford, but it brings me such pleasure and relief from my otherwise difficult and painful life.
