Great tutorial! The fix was the best. We all do it, but we don't often see how to fix the mistakes.

Thanks for a great tutorial - especially loved how you showed fixing a coloring boo-boo (definitely beats my method of throwing the image away)!.

I have never had any luck getting my blender to erase mistakes. What happens to me is I still see a "funny" spot where I erased, and if I touch the black stamped image at all, it "bleeds" it. Any advice? What paper do you use? Do you always use Adirondak? I have been using Versifine Onyx Black, but I do have Adirondak.
Thanks,
Cindy

Cindy,
It's so funny because I just posted about this. Your problem is definitely the ink. Some people have had success with Versa Fine, personally I have never been so lucky. I also have found that touching up the mistake and then going back to it (and thereby letting the original marker-ink dry) is the key. Like I said, 95% of my mistakes will come out, but sometimes the particular color just seems to pervade.
Also yes, I always use Adirondack for my copic markers (I love versafine for gamsol and other techniques). I would suggest getting a refill for the pad though because I have found that they dry out rather quickly (or I just stamp to much
)
Tomorrow (or later today) I plan on explaining more about my personal paper choices, as it tends to vary. However, for the most part I use Georgia Pacific, which is 110 pound and incredibly inexpensive at Walmart.
Hope this helped!

great tutorial. I don't own any copics but have heard that people love them.
I love your blog too. I just started a blog 3 days ago and am trying to figure out the whole blog thing.

Thank you so much for the tutorial!
I have been wanting to invest in copic markers for awhile now. You might have given me the confidence to take the leap!
