Have you used Derwent's at all before? and is there a comparison between the two if you have?
No, not a lot. I think I have one of two but it's not a brand I am very familiar with. It's not very famous in France. Here, we use much more Conté and Caran d'Arche pencils that are very good but not as good as Prismacolors. I had never heard of Prima before people told me about them on Tumblr. They are not even sold in Paris, I had to order them on Amazon.com, in the US

blending/shading etc can you do that with them?
With Copic, absolutely. You have the 00 marker for color blending and very very light gray and purple markers for shading. In fact you have so many colors that the possibilities are endless. You can also have different effects by just changing the paper.

what/where are the best tutes/ are there any?
You can check the works and step by steps by David Deb on Deviant art. I love seeing his process on works like this one. Otherwise, I can't really give you any because I learned everything I knew thanks to books in Japanese ( ... )

How do you like working with Copics? I recently became obsessed with them!

At least you can refill them! Also, I have found I can buy lots of them on Ebay cheaper than at the art supply stores.

They are indeed cheaper on Ebay but the sellers often don't ship worldwide (only Japan and USA) so it's harder for me to find them online :/

Faves: the "Don't Mess with Texas" postcard and that gorgeous "Cas with Flowerwreath". You're so inspiring!

Fantastic artwork, as always! Tattooed!Dean (and those yummy pancakes), hurt!Sam, and the Texas postcard are my favorites forever and ever and ever. ♥♥♥

I see that you used the brush-nip Copic sketch markers. I'm afraid of those things -- do they handle well? (Wait. WHO am I asking? In your capable hands, a jagged piece of rock and a rusty wire would deliver great art.)

Gorgeous artwork! Thanks for sharing these!

They do but for skin tones like YR00 and E11 I bought in addition to my box set big square-shaped Copics. They are very good for big surfaces like chests and legs. Otherwise, the Copic sketch are really amazing and I love them for details. For tiny details, I use ballpoint pens or even Tria markers :)

Thank you so much for your kind words about my sketchbook entry ♥
Glad you enjoyed the postcard so much! I had a lot of fun working on it ^^
