This book was really helpful for learning about blending methods and creative applications for alcohol markers. If you’re new to the medium, definitely check this one out.
This guide to coloring with Copic markers is truly impressive, offering detailed instructions and plenty of project examples that are beneficial for manga artists and others alike. The book focuses on Copic marker techniques, using numbered colors, but you can adapt the principles to other marker brands with a little research. It's packed with step-by-step illustrations for coloring everything from basic shapes to intricate details, making it a must-have for anyone looking to improve their marker art skills.
This is a great resource for anyone looking to start using any markers really. It has some great art technique lessons too. Great guid for anyone starting out or looking for some new techniques. I've done decades of art classes and I even learned some new things.
I think this book is helpful for people who want to learn from manga artists and learn their techniques. It also gives tips on the fundamentals of art.
I had been looking for a book about copic marker art, and stumbled upon this.
I am glad I requested it.
It contains information, tips and techniques for all levels, and the pictures are great. They demonstrate the techniques, and cover several different methods, processes and stages of colouring.
Copics are fabulous and so is this book.
This is a well laid out instruction guide for using copic markers. The illustrations support the written material nicely and the chapters follow a progressive format. For myself, I feel more experience was needed before launching into this guide, but it could just be a lack of artistic background or being a learner who needs real time demonstrations.
I received this arc from netgalley in exchange for my honest review.
This is a nice little book for beginners.
There’s a lot of tips for blending and using your copics specifically. Though I feel it would be useful for any alcohol markers in general.
There is an abundance of pictures to help with the visualization which I feel is invaluable for this sort of how to book.
There is not much for advanced users that we don’t already know, however, it would work well for a refresher if you’ve not done some work with copics for a while.
The help with digital programs is helpful if you are looking to get into posting your work online to social media.
Overall I would recommend this book for a beginner or potentially an intermediate artist who is looking for help with their chosen craft
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC. This is my true and honest review and I am posting of my own volition
I absolutely loved this book I don't currently have my own set of copic markers yet because of how expensive they are but I loved to learn all about what a copic marker is capable of and I absolutely want a set of them now at reading some of the tips and tricks mentioned in this book and I might advertise it on my YouTube channel some of the techniques mentioned for copics in this book so thank you very much for allowing me to read it and would love to read any more that you have and not just about copics either but all other techniques and art forms
This is the perfect book for anyone looking to improve their skills with markers. It was so easy to follow the instructions, it helped me with my drawings so much.
This book gives tips on how to use your Copic Markers to better draw manga figures. It showed how to mix colors to get other colors and how to draw patterns. There were also pointers on how to decide which colors to combine for different colors and effects. I enjoyed seeing the how to pictures on blending of colors. I will refer back to this book if I am ever able to get some of these markers!
“Manga Artists’ Copic Marker Coloring Techniques” is a one stop shop for artists who are new or even advanced with using alcohol markers! Though this book is Copic specific, I found all of the tips and techniques to be useful with other brands of alcohol markers too!
This book covers the basic coloring methods, manga artist techniques (hair, skin, face, background, nature, clothes, etc), fixing your mistakes, and growing your alcohol marker skills! I really enjoyed how they labeled the specific color Copics that are used in each example drawing! Another favorite is how the showed different techniques of using the colorless blender - you can use it to add texture in your art!
Highly recommend for beginners to advanced alcohol marker artists!
This book gives nice tips to artists, who are new and experienced, on how to hone their skills using Copic markers. I really like the visual examples of this art book. Even though this book does target manga artists thr techniques can be applied to anything you create using Copic markers. It's very helpful for beginners so I highly recommend checking it out.
I recieved this as an ARC in exchange for an honest review. thank you netgalley !
I can’t access the book. I had high hopes, but if I can’t see it, I can’t actually review it. It would be great to be able to see the books approved.
I'm just starting my art journey and I'm picking up all types of craft books to try and get a feel for different techniques and products. I've seen a lot of artists on Instagram using copic markers, so when I saw a book about how to use them I jumped on it! While I don't have any copic markers yet, this book will definitely come in handy when I do get them! It was full of tips that are super helpful for beginners.
I've always been amazed at the coloring abilities of Copic markers, in the hands of artists. This book gives tips to take those interested in learning how to hone their skills from basic to great to incredible with cool techniques! I appreciate the visual instructions in this book. While this book is targeting Manga artists, the techniques are able to be applied to anything you create with Copic markers, including greeting cards, coloring books, and other artistic disciplines.

Really informative and helpful.
Great resource. My daughter loves to draw, so I wanted to see what this one was. I will definitely be buying a copy for a Christmas gift.
Good basics. Teaches colour theory and how to blend copics in popular manga colouring styles. Each segment demonstrates different aspects like skin, tears/sweat, clothes with the copic numbers used so the reader can recreate the exact demo.
This is an awesome book! So for anyone who just happened to buy copic markers and are doing art on the side this is an amazing book to get a deeper understanding of your art tools, the copic marker ends have a letter and number series which I just thought to be a color series but it actually has meaning! It may be a more quick read than other books but this book provides colorful examples followed with detailed tips and instructions to get the vibrancy you’re looking for and later in the book the author gets further into showing off details and getting that glossy finish on parts of clothing, the illustration is beautiful, the author makes the subject inviting, and I’m excited to practice!
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the free e-ARC.
This was a wonderful introduction to the world of Copic Marker techniques, specifically for Manga artists. The techniques are well described with photos showing the technique in action. There is much to be learned in this guide.
