Awesome haul!! I don’t want to know which colors I’m missing from Copics lol! But to have the whole collection of them…😍😍😍!! It’s fun seeing your collection grow. Thank you for sharing!!💖💖
Yes! I can definitely do a flipthrough of her book. I do have a hair series! The first one is already up (red hair with polys), and I'm currently finishing up the second.
I have that same brush set. I use the heck out of that little round one. It is so good for small spaces. Some of my favorite Copic colors are those BG ones. BG72 goes really good with BG75. I have a handful of Blick brush markers. I will say (just my opinion) that they are a decent marker, and I do like them, but I personally find the nib to be too soft and it is a teeny bit smaller. It just doesn't feel as firm (or as nice) as the Copic marker, and because of that I don't feel like I have as much control. Great haul, thanks for sharing!
I agree. Once you get the Copic nib nothing compares. Also Copics color range is just beautiful. They work together and they really put thoughts into their colors when they created them.
If the Copics bring you joy then they are worth it! Do you have any water based brush tip markers that you would recommend? I'm looking for a set to work in a particular coloring book (Moon Blossoms) and I don't have any experience with those type of markers other than the Hobby Lobby brand which I'm using now. The paper has a gloss on it that the water markers work very well with.
I wish I did. I have tried a few water-based markers, and I just haven't enjoyed them. They don't layer as easily and breakdown the paper (unless using watercolor paper), which is why I have really enjoyed alcohol markers. I know a lot of people enjoy the Zig and Arteza ones. I never purchased Zig because of the price, lol. Arteza I tried, but just didn't like the feel. I have heard good things about Tombow, but ouchie on the price there too!
Hi Luna - thank you for asking. I'm actually feeling a little better today. Each day gets better so that's a good sign. Copics are pricey, which is why I only allow myself to buy so many per month and even then it is a hit. I'm actually going to try the new Blick Art set that is a good Copic competitor (their latest brush set) and who knows...I'll still probably collect all of the Copics though. I really do like using them.
Great haul! Even thou I am behind in watching your videos! Do you have a video on using markers? And I have been struggling with Maria Trolle paper! I hate it! Any suggestions???
Thanks for the tip! I've used some of them and they leave streaks on my coloring pages. Is there one specific that does better? I'd definitely be open to buying it if so. I tried the rollers and they just didn't smooth out.
Hi Cori thank you for the video, it was fun. Did you purchase the portraits of beauty on Etsy? I went under Raen Art but didnt see it. Im interested because I dont have a printer and I think its really pretty. Of course everything is downloaded and printed on there. She might of sold out of it. 😔
Yes I did! I clicked on the link from my purchases and it went to her store - so looks like it might be sold out right now. You can possibly keep checking and see if it pops up again.
Sure! So, I use a laser printer because inkjet will smear with markers and some wet mediums. The one I purchased was in 2016, but here is the newer model of it: amzn.to/3fqFnuQ. I plan to upgrade to this one once I run through the ink toner I just got for mine haha.
@@ColorfullyOptimistic Great, thank you for the reference, one more question, does the drawings printed with the laser print work well for colored pencils, blending with colorless blender pencils, layering, burnishing? Or it should be treated with care? Assuming a thick paper is used. Thanks again.
@@zobieskyovalle2085 The lines won't smudge unless you're pressing incredibly hard - and that would even happen on a professionally printed book. But if you are using the proper amount of pressure, my laser jet lines hold incredibly well. I mean I use markers, watercolors, etc and those things don't move.
OMG I love that Circular Grid Notebook for mandalas - I did not know you could get paper like this - thank you for sharing 👋🏻🤗👋🏻
Any time! They make it so much easier and then you can just trace with clean paper but saves the hassle of drawing every guideline out there
Awesome haul!! I don’t want to know which colors I’m missing from Copics lol! But to have the whole collection of them…😍😍😍!! It’s fun seeing your collection grow. Thank you for sharing!!💖💖
You should swatch them! Of course it's defeating when you have quite a few and still so many blank spots lol
I’ve just added this to my watch later list! I can’t right now! But I’m coming back!!❤️❤️❤️
Haha I take no responsibility if it enables anyone.
I’d love a flip thru of the Raen book! I did not know you have a hair series! I need to learn how to color hair!
Yes! I can definitely do a flipthrough of her book. I do have a hair series! The first one is already up (red hair with polys), and I'm currently finishing up the second.
fun haul
LOL thanks my dear!

How are you feeling? I wish I could afford Copics! I also need that Luna book LOL and omg that fairy portraits book is SO cute!

Hi , thank u for videos 😊, how print u PDF in thick paper ?
I have a Brother laser jet (they don't make this model anymore) and it does great!
Great haul! Even thou I am behind in watching your videos! Do you have a video on using markers? And I have been struggling with Maria Trolle paper! I hate it! Any suggestions???
So I normally use oil based pencils or the smooshers on her paper.
Thanks for your haul. You can get Mod Podge brand tools and accessories that helps to avoid screeching on your page.

enjoyed!
Thanks girl!
Thank you for sharing, I need to get back to adding copies to my collection on a regular basis. I’ve been on a Mariola spree this month also!
OMG I went on a Mariola marathon, but couldn't help it. I love her sets and just said screw it, I'm buying them all!
@@ColorfullyOptimistic I purchased quite a few also. My spell check never lets me write COPICS
I love everything about this haul. I have a question though, how do you bind books? Thanks in advance.
I use the Cinch amzn.to/3EIbjaV - it makes binding super easy.
Hope you feel better after your doctor's visite. Hey you need to do Grey hair I have some brown but my Grey hides it.
Color gray hair? Thank you for your kind words - I am actually feeling a little better today thank goodness.
New subbie loved this video the Fairytale coloring book did you print it off and if so what paper did you use ty ☺️
Yes, I did print those off. So, the paper I use for printing PDFs is Neenah cardstock, which you can get on Amazon in 300 sheet packs. amzn.to/3fvmFlK

Thank you! I will keep an eye on it.😊
@@pamelamiller9478 hopefully she does more! They're so pretty
💜💜💜🇬🇧
Thank you.
Thank you for your reviews, I was wondering which printer you use to print digital coloring pages...

@@ColorfullyOptimistic Great, thanks a lot!
@@zobieskyovalle2085 no problem! If you get that one let me know how it works. I just need to run thru my toner and I'm upgrading to that one.
