heres a good tip... alot of you kids use regular sketchbooks for your blackbooks, the contain thicker, coarser paper that absorbs alot of marker ink and makes you think the markers dead when its not. i reccomend using marker paper, you can get it in books at any art supply store, its thinner, smoother, shinier paper, that wont let any ink bleed through. i took a mp to it once to test it, it barely bleed through, with normal use it dosent bleed at all. it makes ur peices look shiner, and easier to blend colors, look into it. prismas are ment for marker paper. mine were all cliniccaly dead till i used them on marker paper.
PRISMAS! i love prismas they smell good, they dont blotch up or dry out. the only bad thing about em is there expensive! n yes i would rakk them if i could, where i live in vegas they only sell em behind the counter!
ok yea i kno this is chartpacks and prismas i love my prismas but im hopefully upgrading up with my new copics but i just used like 2 and the colors matched the caps exactly
Yeah man, they call the "marker paper" that he's talking about BRISTOL . If you look on the front of the sketch book it shoudl say bristol on it somewhere OR if the little icons on the sketchbook have a little marker icon, thats good too. But BRISTOL is the best.
Prismas because they're easy to steal XD Even if they weren't so easy to steal I'd buy them because how flexible and great quality they are.
i have copics . they are quite good . damn its been like six months since i posted in here . yoused to be in here six times a day
i have a 12 pack of touch twins and i really like them a lot. they are a good price too, for their quality. for prismas i haven't really tried them enough to have a solid opinion. chartpacks are good for big areas. and also i would have to agree with the earlier post about getting a markerpad. i have a bleedproof copic pad and it really makes the colors more vibrant and bright and solid.
what are ur opinions on prismas vs copics? ive never tried copics. . . . but ive heard theyre actually much better. as for those bitching about ink bleeding to the next page. . . . use a blood page. thats not difficult.
