    Drawing practice: A couple of works

    Drawing practice: A couple of works

    I finally got myself a Copic set, and I opened them just a couple of days ago. I learned to acquaint myself with Copic’s behavior and style. Copic colors are generally more muted and softer, while my Unicorn Art Marker has a more vivid color which gives a really nice variations. This pond drawing is… Continue reading

    Drawing practice: House sketch

    I am now thinking of buying a Copic set. Unicorn Sketch marker set is great, but the colors are too vivid and too neon to my likings. I’m looking for muted gray-ish colors, and from what I see, it seems like Copic provides such colors. Continue reading
