My first try with copic markers ^__^ And it turned out quite good if you ask me. Lineart is about 2 years old, I found it today in an old sketchbook, paper was thick enough to hold a little watercolor but not ideal for it exactly.. So I decided to give copics a shot.

First impression;
it's very easy to work with copics. It takes some time to get used to different nibs and how to paint properly. If you paint over an area you painted before with a lighter color, previous color dissolves and blends with other colors, which I found very watercolorish. I had a ciao, 2 sketchs and 15 markers. Sketch and ciao have softer brush-like nibs, it was much more easier to paint with them to be honest. Maybe because they acted like brush I liked them better. I still need a blender because I like blending my colors, having a smooth transition between hues and colors. I'm not sure though, using the palest base color for blending works fine too, but I think I'll feel more comfortable with a blender.
Colors are very vibrant and pretty too, i don't like the alcoholic smell but that's not unbearable or too disturbing.

Well, that's all about my rant ^__^ <3 Enjoy!
