I consider myself a new artist. I have been drawing for a while now. Everything I have learned was not learned in art school. A few things I picked up from a friend, other people I talk to or youtube. Art is a very fun hobby and I would LOVE to get some copic markers!! I am use to Sharpie and Bic markers, so this will be a very fun experience if I ever get enough money to get some Copic markers. Yes, I WILL take very good care of them. :-D
