I’ve been trying to figure out what paper I want to use with the Copic Markers.

I was at HL and found this paper.

I thought this would be perfect, it says in the suggested pens, “Copic” and various other pens.

I opened it up and noticed that it was “super slick”; however, the paper was very thin.  I figured if it worked out nicely I could always glue to card stock.

I laid down the first color and liked what I was seeing.  Now keep in mind I’m very new at this so I’m just going by what I think is looking right.

I know the stamping is not that great but I was just practicing.

Yeah, I’ve got a lot to learn with these markers.  After I started adding more color and trying to shade I didn’t like what I was seeing. If you click on the picture it makes it larger and even looks worse.

I’m pretty sure this is the operator and not the paper.  After all when you look at the cartoon in the first picture their coloring looks a lot better than mine.    Hmmmm, I’m not digging this paper at all.  I’m not going to get rid of it just yet.  I figure I may revisit this paper after I get better and more knowledgeable in what I am doing.  I think I have a long way to go but I’m not going to give up.
