I have been in Oregon the past couple of days. . . visited the Copic home office and warehouse, spending time with great friends. Sorry this post is so late! Yesterday just got away from me, so I’m combining part 1 and part 2 of the Copic announcements into one post. 🙂
The Winter Craft & Hobby Association (CHA) trade show is coming up and so we want to give you a sneak peek at what new things you can find in the Copic booth this year. Check back for more new products from Copic all weekend long!
New Ciao 36 Colors
Copic Ciao markers, the perfect beginner marker, now has 180 colors available, up from 144. The new colors are taken from some of the most popular Sketch colors, and are very helpful for filling in gaps in your Ciao collection. Available individually or in the new Ciao 36 E set. These markers are now in-stock and shipping, so look for them from your favorite Copic retailer.
Colors include: E25, E40, E41, E59, C0, C2, W0, W2, BG13, BG72, B18, B28, B99, E000, E15, E18, YR000, YR15, Y000, Y35, YG09, YG17, G29, G82, BG000, BV000, BV25, V01, V05, RV14, RV69, R000, R14, R81.
Here’s the second sneak peek of new products you can find in the Copic Booth at Winter CHA.
Shadows & Shading: A beginner’s guide to lighting placement, book by Marianne Walker
Many of you who read the Copic blogs have been wanting more information about how to correctly place your shadows when coloring. Marianne’s blog has lots of suggestions, but you have to dig through posts and print things out. Now, Marianne has taken the fundamentals of coloring with shadows and put them in this simple to use reference book. This book is for beginners, and applies to anyone who colors, from papercrafters to artists. You do not need to know how to draw to add shadows like a professional artist! This guide easily steps you through how to correctly add shadows and make your coloring look more dimensional. The wire-bound book comes with 4 clear printed guides to help you add shadows properly on your own work, without all the frustration and guess-work. This book will be available in March, though you can get a sneak peek at CHA. If you want to attend a hands-on workshop that teaches these same concepts as they relate only to papercrafting, then register for the Intermediate Certification nearest you!
What better way to get excited about new products, than with a giveaway? Leave a comment on this post, then Monday, January 10th, winners will be randomly selected. Winners will be mailed a NEW 2011 Copic Color Swatchbook to keep track of their Copic collections. Three winners will be chosen from EACH of our designer’s blogs, so after you check this blog, go visit the blogs of all the other designers. All comments are welcome, though the contest is only open to the US & Canada.
You’ll see a new name on the list of designers, Bianca Mandity, an altered artist and instructor from Indiana. Bianca is joining the Copic Instructor team to help with training Fine Art stores and Art Schools, so give her a big welcome, and look for more Altered Art and fine-art events popping up on the Copic Calendar.

Oh what a wonderful tools, and I would love to have it. It would be great to take with me when I go shopping for copics. I’m learning through video’s, tutorials, blogs, anyway I can, slowly but surely getting there.

Copics

1. colourful joy in a 6 inch marker!
2. tool which aids in “colouring for big kids”; a de-stressing tool .
Oh well… so much for my New Year’s resolutions – “Cull Crafting Cache”
Seriously, with CHA around the corner? What was I thinking?!!? LOL!

Your Banana sketch has that old “Knock, Knock” joke running through my head…
Orange you glad I didn’t write out the whole thing?! *grin*
