The Copic Color System Explained:
Color Family: The letter or letters at the beginning of the code indicate the Color Family. R = Red, YR = Yellow-Red, Y = Yellow, YG = Yellow-Green, and so on around the color wheel.
Saturation Number: The first number in the code refers to the color saturation level. The saturation level indicates the purity of the color.
A lower saturation number indicates a higher degree of color saturation, which means a more vivid or intense color.
A high saturation number indicates a less saturated color. These colors will appear dull or washed out compared to colors with low saturation numbers.
Brightness Number: The second digit in the code is the brightness number. Indicates the lightness or darkness of the color. The lower the number, the lighter the ink. The higher the number, the darker the ink.
Color Name: This is the name given to the unique combination of hue, saturation, and brightness that a color represents. From Blue Berry to Garnet, this system can accommodate a dazzling array of colors.
Some recommendations:
1.I am new to Copic and want to start my collection, what markers should I buy?
The best markers to start with depend largely on what your budget is and what type of art you want to do, but the gray set is always a good place to start. Another good place to start is with a mix group in each tone; that's a midtone, a highlight and a shadow for each color (e.g. B24, B21 and B29 for blues, R24, R20 and R29 for reds, etc.)
2. How should I store my Copic markers?
Horizontal or vertical? You can store your bookmarks in any way that looks best on your desktop 🙂 Japan sells them stored any way, so it doesn't really matter.
3. What happens if I leave my marker in the hot sun or in a frozen car?
Nothing. They are airtight and alcohol based, so they will take a long time to freeze or boil due to extreme temperatures.
4. Are Copic markers acid free?
Depending on the surface, they will dry without acid. The alcohol carrier solvent has a slightly neutral pH, but once it evaporates, they are neutral. However, certain papers retain alcohol more than others.
