[Peglar]

I was wondering if there is a tutorial for the bic mark it. I want to leann how to shade with them. I have the 36 set. IKnow if any one knows it will be here on splitcoast. Thanks in advance for your help.

Have you tried You Tube? They have everything on there.

I think that they are pretty much used the same way that Copic's are used ---- I love that they "stretch" my Copics set (that is pretty puny, I must admit. . .)

I only have 20 copics and just use my bics and sharpies to fill in colors that I don't have in copics. I use them all the same way, after all they are all alcohol based markers, the only difference being the tips (and the sharpies smell stronger ).

I use the Bics, and did the video on Youtube : ) They are really good, the biggest complaint I have is that their colors tend to run dark, ie, no soft pastel like colors.

Here is a link to my blog post (which came before the video)

Using good paper is a must, and then playing around with your coloring helps too. I tend to like to go from light to dark (even with copics), but have also done the dark to light as well.

Let me know if you have any questions.

I totally agree, that is why most of my copics are in pastel colors.

Me, too. I went to Hobby Lobby and laboriously got one pastel color at a time with my trusty coupon to fill out my sets of Bics and Sharpies. I am really happy with the results I get though, and I'm especially happy about saving all the $$$!
