Did you know you can create shades with just one Copic colour?
You can create multiple shades of colour with just one Copic from your collection. Using colours from the same family will help you to create monochromatic tones and shades.
Learn how to layer
If you keep layering the same colour, you will be able to create different shades of the same tone with just the one marker!

Learn different colouring techniques
If you colour side to side, in a zig zag motion, the ink will come out uneven, this will create texture in your colouring.

Create a smooth palette
Start at one side, colour in small circles using the side of Super Brush and evenly saturate the ink. Keep moving in circles, gradually making your circle bigger and you'll get even ink.
