Copics VS. Artist's Loft Markers

Posted by Cheryl on 6/18/2017 to Products and Sites I Love!

Everyone who has followed my art for any period of time, knows I am a copic marker girl all the way. I love everything about them (except the price!) I have tried a lot of different alcohol based markers, and none of them really came close to my love of copics!
Recently on a stroll through Michael's, I came across the line of "artist's loft" alcohol based markers. I thought to myself, oh boy, here we go again! Another one trying to make a cheaper version of my beloved markers!
Well, I decided to give them a shot. I picked out a few colors and brought them home to try. I am pleased to say, in a pinch, and for a cheaper price, they are the closest I have to come to copics. They have a dual barrel, and the nibs feel very similar to copics. They appear to also be refillable, but I haven't seen any refill offered anywhere.
They currently have 56 colors, and I am hoping they add more. At a much smaller price of $3.99, and the fact that you can use coupons, makes them a great alternative for those that want to expand their marker collection without breaking the bank!

For the Love of art!

Posted by Cheryl on 5/12/2017 to Whimsical Art

From the time I was a little girl, I have been a "creator". Drawing, clay, painting, wood. You name it. I would spend hours making things and giving them as gifts. It is truly my passion. My process varies. Some days I draw all digitally, other days I drag out the paint or copic markers and sketch pad and put on paper all the things whirling through my head! Inspiration comes from everywhere, but mainly my children and everyday life. I will see something and within no time, it will become a "Whimsical Inkling". I love what I do, and I hope it shows in my work!
