I'm wondering if you could recommend an on-line course for Copics.
I live in the country and there are no courses available to me. I have a collection of Copics that I should be using and thought while I'm stuck at home in the snow this winter, this would be the perfect time to take a course.
I've read this thread and it's great and I've played with my markers but need to learn more.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Karen.....I've been taking some great classes through Suzanne Dean's blog - scrapbitz.blogspot.com - her classroom is located at the top of her blog called "Color Me Creative Classroom", and she's running a special right now to sign up for her classes. I think she's great. If you want to check out any of her videos on YouTube first you can through her blog. She has wonderful resource sheets, along with the videos, as well as Chats, and of course you can do the homework assignments and you'll get feedback from Suzanne. The videos are very helpful in their own right, and you get a year to complete the on-line classes. She's wonderful and a great artist...check her out!
I'm wondering the same thing. Not just the new in colors but also the new revised color family matches! Thanks in advance for any help!

I've been taking classes here: Simply Scrapping Crafts
Very reasonably priced and lots of fun! There is a beginning class which I took Nov.-Jan. and we just started the intermediate class yesterday.
I'm going to go check out the other class recommended, I think I've been watching those on youtube!
hi ladies,
I just wanted to let you know I'm selling a bunch of BRAND NEW copic markers. Its basically a "my husband is an idiot, but was trying to be sweet and helpful" Sale. He brought me A BUNCH of new markers and I had all of them except 4... Awesome right? They are $3.75 plus shipping.
I have a mix of Ciao and Sketch markers. I am getting frustrated with my Ciaos because I can't see the marker number on the end cap like I can on the Sketch! Has anyone come up with a great solution to marking the ends of the Ciao markers??? Thanks!

WOO HOO! There were 31 left when I went to the site just now. I logged in and when I placed them in my cart, the price went down to $47.99 for the set plus shipping! Thanks Judy for the info. I did check Carpe Diem Store also, but they are not showing any of them in stock yet.

I immediately ordered this am from oozak.com and was successful...but a couple questions remain. What does the "#5 extra" mean? Why is there no price difference between with a case, and without a case? Anyone know????

I didn't see an option to get a case. The ad states - case not included. I don't need a case, so it didn't make any difference to me. I notice now there are only 21 left.

The two sets are side by side on the Oozak homepage.....one with a case, one without.......but both state "#5 extra".........both $47.99. The case is also not important to me......

I am guessing that the "#5 extra" refers to the way Copic numbers its extra Sketch sets. See this page: Sketch | COPICMARKER.COM (Click on Sketch Sets. Scroll to the bottom and View All.)
They have four sets of 72, and in addition they have the EX-1, EX-2, EX-3, and EX-4 sets. At the bottom is set EX-5, which is the new colors. That's what I'm assuming Oozak is calling "#5 Extra." Maybe someone else can confirm that.
As far as the case goes, the first Oozak shipment with the case is already sold out. The only ones currently available there are without a case, and they have 12 left. I don't know why they are the same price. The sidebar note on the Oozak site says that Copic cut their original shipment to half of what they expected, but they will be getting more later.

Reason: changed number of available sets to 12.
Thanks for the clarification Judi. I didn't see 2 sets when I got to the website, just the one with no case, maybe that's because that the set with the case was already sold out. I already got an e-mail from them with my status update that says "packing" I'm hoping that they'll ship tomorrow and I'll have them early to middle of next week.

I ordered mine today when I got the email from them. I can hardly wait to get them and see the new colors in person!!! It's a great price, wish they would have had the color swatch book too, I'll just have to wait on that I guess......
Any suggestions on how to get a navy blue color? (And why is it, with all those markers, that there is no navy blue marker???) Prussian blue is not navy blue.
Hey All I'd like to color the same image with Copics as I did with my Prismacolors. I'm still not certain I prefer the Copics, but willing to go a bit further into experimenting.
Does anyone have a larger copic and prismacolor collection, and could tell me which markers correspond to the pencil color? I don't trust I'm seeing the color charts correctly on my monitor
If you can help.... These are the colored pencils I used to blend for mittens and a ski hat:
PC1009 Dahlia Purple, PC930 Magenta, PC1030 Raspberry, PC926 Carmine Red...there's a smidge of PC1002 Spanish Orange in there, also.
And would I need several shades of each color marker to recreate the colors I used? Here is what I would like to recreate with Copics. Thanks a bunch! Lisa
I am so sorry if this has been asked already but...I have just receive my markers about a month ago...I have about 300 and I don't know how to store them. I LOVE the Cubbies but I do not have any space to put "furniture" so I have them currently in a tote bag with "Chrystal Light" containers separating the different color groups...Several Color groups have multiple containers since each one only holds 14 markers. I would appreciate any ideas.
Thanks in advance,
Valerie

Hi, Lisa --
That little guy sure looks familiar! He's one of my penguin chicks digi-stamps.
This is the closest I could come to your sample. You need to know that I started with Copics about six weeks ago, and so far I only have about one-third of the total available colors.
The color numbers in my version are: RV10, RV11, RV14, V12, V15, V17, and Y17.
Hi Valerie... if you go to Page 1 of this thread, you'll see a link in post #1 re: storage
Judi! I'm so glad you made your little penguin guy. I've sent him to quite a few people because his face *always* makes them smile. My sister told me "I wouldn't mind if someday I got a penguin in my mailbox!" I just made a card for her with him... and now I'm using him to practice with my copics because who can get frustrated blending when you're looking at that cute face? LOL
Thanks Lisa!!!
It was right under my nose!!! I checked out all three links (but they were old from 2008-2009) and either discontinued or not available. I will keep up the search. I really hate not having my own space and I have to pack everything away each and every meal we eat. So everything I own has to be put in tubs and totes and stacked on top of each other in the back corner of a coat closet.

I got one of these that someone had posted on another thread-sounds like it might be what you are looking for since it is portable-and I also have my Glimmer Mists and other items. I think I got it with Mike's 50% off for under $20-I like that it has the lid so things won't fall out-and adjustable compartments-

Hi Ladies - I'm having a problem with the copics that I haven't found an answer for so I thought perhaps one of you might have an answer. Sometimes, a few of my copics seem "sticky" on their tips (generally the same ones over and over) and they don't blend well. They, well, sort of "stick" and I get a spotty color. I'm using Georgia Pacific CS - and I'm sure there are better papers, but the problem is, other copics work just fine and I don't ahve any problems. I thought perhaps the problem might be that the marker is getting dry, but it doesn't seem to matter if I refill it or not. Does any have any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
Hi Michelle...I was just watching a video tutorial and she said that is your marker is starting to skip and "stick" to the paper and leaving lines and slotchy...then the marker need to be refilled. I personally have not experienced this yet...but I was just trying to categorize this info in my brain so than when it does I'll know what to do...
You said you already tried to refill and did not get better results??? On the video she said that she pours in roughly 20 drops...I was not sure how to refill so I have filed "20 drops" in my brain...
Other than that...I'm sorry I can't help...If you do find out please let us newbies know.
Valerie
P.S. I just my order from OOZAK with the new 12 colors in today...So now I need to add them to my color chart...Is there a new color cart to reflect the new colors?
Also...does anyone have the florescent colors? Are they worth the investment??? Just not sure how and what to blend them with.
I really don't have any kind of expert advice, but I think I might change the nib on one of them and see if that clears up the problem since it doesn't seem to be a "dry" problem. I haven't had anything like that happen with any of mine.

It almost sounds to me like your nibs on those markers have become contaminated with something. If your nibs come into contact with any pencil crayons etc, they can pick up some of the wax from the pencil leads, and then it can get transferred to that marker's blending partners during the blending process. I have three nibs right now that I need to change for exactly this reason. I'm not sure how they got dirty, but now they go on splotchy and shiny, and won't blend properly.
