I was a bit disappointed in this book - mainly because it wasn't really what I thought it would be. I thought it was going to be quite a detailed guide into using Copics but it was more of a general card making book where the projects featured Copic colouring. The first 15 or so pages were instructional and the rest of the 60 page book was cards. Hopefully the other books in this series will be heavier on the step by step side of things.

I bought a couple of basic Copic sets but had no idea where to start regarding beginner technique or how these markers work.

I highly recommend this book to anyone new to Copics - I like how the coding of the markers is explained and the basic techniques are easy to grasp.

Love this series

I’m a beginner in this and I have learned so much from the books. My artwork now looks amazing and practicing with my daughter makes it even more fun.

I was disappointed at this guide. I expected more techniques than a 9-pages of brief instructions. More than half of the book is taken up with projects for which you need to buy stamps or digital images.
