The book contains information about the different styles of Copic markers, explains the coloring/numbering system, details how to pick good blending groups, teaches a number of blending techniques through illustrated tutorials, and de-mistifies the colorless blender marker.

Ma couleur préférée est le R85 Rose Red.
Félicitations pour votre blog.
Cute card. I only have one marker and it is a shadow for snow, not even sure of the #. But, I am thinking of some greens like the pine tree green G29 as one of my first purchases. Afterall, I won the wallet and the one marker is lonely in it!

Great coloring on your card! My favorite color is R22.
It's so hard to pick just one, so I'll go with R24. It's a lovely pink, just right. Thanks!
my favorite Copic color is E11
Wow, your shading and shadows are the best I have ever seen! WOW!!!! Your coloring truly gives a real life feel for the scenario of reading in bed...WOW! It's tough to pick one favorite color, but I just realized that I recently bought BG13...such a pretty color! Thanks for the chance!
Just one?? That's tough. If I only get one, then I'd say Y17.
I love how the light from the lamp glows on the bed and person. So realistic. I live YG 67
It is very hard to pick just one color. I am one who likes to have a large box of colors! You know, I had to have the super large box of crayons. How can you paint with just one color? I do like R29. Hope I win. Thanks Much!
Love the BG's , but the lightest ones are so versatile!
May favorite copic color is light prawn
My favorite color is BG02
I love the colouring on your card! I am not up to that standard yet, but there is always hope. My favourite copic colour would have to be E50. I use this for most of my skin colouring. Thank you for the chance at winning a copy of the book.
very cute, great shading and like the gems on the moon
Awesome coloring on your card! It is
hard to choose a favorite but one of
my favorites is G21 Lime Green.
Today my favorite color is R29, tomorrow it might be YG11, yesterday it was BG10. Do you see my problem? I love them all...Thanks for the chance to win!
Wow, this card is DELIGHTFUL! At first glance the image is adorable. Upon second glance (lots of staring and drooling) I'm stunned at by the beautiful shading/shadowing cast from the lamp. *ahhh. It's so beautiful! And to top it off, you created a beautiful evening scene with a moon and star?! Perfect!
I really can't imagine life without E33. B000 is a lot of fun, too. My little ciao ran dry on G14.
My most favorite Copic color is R29 Lipstick Red. I accidentally put R27 on Colleen's blog, but I truly mean Lipstick Red! ..although R59 Cardinal is a great color too...
My favorite Copic color is Y17.
BG 09, it is just pretty!

It is hard to pick one favorite, but I would have to say YG03. It blends so well with other greens on foliage.
My favorite color is RV55
Aw, what a sweet card! My fav Copic color is RV13 tender pink. And G21 Lime green. And V15 Mallow, and...............I love them ALL!!
favorite copic color is BV04
Wow, I only have one Copic as I'm a newby to Copics and it's BG49, Duck Blue, just love this color!
It was a gift, now I'm just trying to find a class in my area to learn more about them and start collecting.
Thanks for the chance to win this great book! Denise
My favorite is yg91. I can't wait to see this book!
I love your sweet card. My favorite color is R29. Thanks for the chance to win this wonderful book.
What a gorgeous card, I love all the detail, especially the fab way you've done the shadow from the book, stunning! My favourite colour right now is YG03, but it does change from time to time. Thanks for the opportunity to win such a fun prize!
I can't believe you want me to pick my favorite copic color! Hmmmm, let's see now does everything green work! Thanks for the chance to win!
Love your blog, your cards are amazing and your coloring FANTASTIC. My FAV color is R85. Thanks so much
Love your card... one of my favorite stories! Fav color is V04 Lilac
I don't have any Copic markers, but I would my favorite colors are pink & lavender. Your work is beautiful!
Choosing one favorite is like asking a child to eat just one piece of candy! :-( I'd say, "Not fair" ... but my husband always reminds me that a "fair" is something we go to once-a-year! So ... let's go with R29 and bring on the lipstick! :-)
I don't have a favorite since I don't own any but I have asked for them for Christmas. This book would be a great addition to my "craft crap".
WOW! a favorite color hmmm....RV17..but really it is hard to have a favorite because blended together so many of them look great! Thanks for the chance to win!
My favorite color is B02. It is such a pretty blue.
My fave color is dull ivory, perfect to go with kraft/crumb cake!
I love RV06 and would love to have this book - I am new to copics and can use all the help I can get.
wow - your coloring and shading is amazing! i am fairly new to copics but enjoy the ripe avocado papertrey inc trio YG93, YG95 & YG97. thanks for a chance to win this great resource.
I don't own Copics yet so haven't really thought about a favorite color. I can't even say I have a favorite color 'cause it varies with the subject matter. Food = chocolate (that I'm sure of!); Horses = palomino would be first choice; Flowers would have to be the yellows and golds - but a favorite??? Your card is darling. TFS your many talents.
I also like R08. Thanks for all your tutorials on using Copics!
Your card is stunning! My B05 gets a workout on my stamp desk!

My favorite color is prawn, R24. I love coloring embellishments to add to my cards and scrapbook pages. It is awesome to take a plain white embellie and color it to totally match whatever I want. LOVE IT!!!!
I have recently signed up for a Copic class at CKC Valley Forge...I can't wait to give it a try, I can only wish to color so beautifully as this. I'm sure that I will soon have a favorite color! Thanks for the opportunity to win Copics!
Y21 Buttercup is my favorite....well, today anyway!! Honestly thought I would say YG95 Pale Olive, but the Y21 is so versatile and such a happy color!!

Love your card and the glow from the lamp! Nice. I don't have a favorite yet, because I don't have any copics. I'm sure that if I did, I would have just as difficult a time answering! Blessings!
Wow, that is one of the best examples of coloring shadows that I have ever seen. Very nice! My favorite Copic is YR04 Chrome Orange. Thanks for the chance to win!
Really sweet card! Awesome coloring! I am new at Copics and so far my favorite color is R85. Thank you for the chance to win!
I don't know what my favorit Copic color is as I have not yet used Copics. However, I love all colors and color combinations - Part of the reason I love to make cards and scrapbook. I would love to learn the things taught in this book!
It is so hard to choose just one, but I would have to go with YR07 (Cadmium Orange).
I like the card you made of the girl getting ready for bed it is so cute and you did a great job of coloring. My favorite color are spring color and bright colors. Thank you for sharing.
Have a great day :)

I don't own many copics but I would safely guess a favorite color would be in the pink/red family. I am hoping to be able to expand my collection and skill in this area. Thank you for the chance to win this great resource!
Favorite color would be BG02. Love the aquas.
So many colors to choose ... I'd have to say BG9! Thanks for the chance to win!
I love RV25 - but there are so many others that I love as well! I would love to win this book. Thank you for your inspiring work.
Love your card. I would have chosen it for sure. I love my Copics and am looking forward to learning how to use this more effieciently. My favorite color is BG13.
What a cute little PI card. Love those images!! My favorite color is BG10 Cool Shadow, I just love to outline images to make them pop off the page! Thanks for the chance!
I'm just learning about Copics so I need this wonderful book. My favorite color thus far is BG 32.
Eeek! Just one color? I don't think I can do it - there are so many wonderful colors. Maybe G82 - love that green.
What a lovely card, so cute.
I think I would use R29 quite a bit, and E37...at the moment I only have pencils in similar colours, no Copics.
this book looks wonderful and your card is lovely!
I just started using copics so I really don't have a favorite color yet! But I can't imagine not liking any of them! Thanks for the opportunity to win a signed book.
My favorite colour is C1 for adding shadows
Your card is so cute. I would love to win this book.
Hrd to pick just one, but I would have to say RV00 Water lily.
Thanks for the chance to win.
Choose A favorite? As in one? That is a hard one. Right now, at this very moment, I'm going with BV13, Hydrangea Blue.
My favorite color is e42
Lovely creations.I am quite new to Copics...would really love to learn and this book would be perfect. My favorite combo is R85, R83 and R81. Thanks for giving a chance to win.

love the blue/green color range especially bg 70, 72 & 78. your "bedtime story" is so cute - might just have to get that stamp and try my hand at coloring people!
There is no such thing as a favorite copic color! They are like chips, you can't have just one. But if you insist.... BG15
I don't know if I can pick just one, but V05 is lovely. Love your card, and can't wait to see this book!
Hi Sherrie!
Your card is adorable and that shading is to die for! I would LOVE to win a book! I have the "Coloring Techniques For Card Making" so I need this one for my collection! I would also love to have it to improve my own Copic skills! :)
My favorite color is G24 Willow. It's my go to grass color! :)
Thanks for the chance! ;)
Hugs,
True :D
No idea yet --- just learning about Copics. Your card is so cute!
Your card is so adorable. ALL of the projects in The Copic coloring guide are just awesome! Thank's so much for a chance to win this must-have resource for all Copic colorers!
I really like the card you made!! I like any colors I'm using at the time!!

This card is adorable! I have not seen a lamp colored til now. I love the EO2 for skin as I have only the basics so far.
I am a new collector of copics, but any shade of blue & green is going to be a fave of mine! :)
The favorite combo on my wish list is R81, R85, R89 ... or any in the purples.
Oh my, Sherrie, your card is awesome...the shading is so perfect, especially on the lamp table. My favorite combo is R81 and R83 with R85.
I LOVE your card! I love all the E's, don't think I could just pick one!!!
Sherrie, such an excellent job of coloring your adorable card image. Don't have favorite colors yet because I don't own or have never used Copics yet. Would therefore love to win the book to get me started in the right direction. Thanks for the chance to win!
I love all the blues, especially Hydrangea Blue.
It would be so nice to win this book.
Hugs

Love your card, your work is always wonderful. Really like V04 but have several others I love to use also so is hard to chose just one. Would love to have this book, can't wait to get my hands on it.
I love your card and would love to win a copy of the book so I could learn about coptic markers and discover a favorite color(s).
I am so loving copics! I love anything to do with pink: R81, R83, and R85 to be exact. Thanks for giving us the opportunity to win the book!
Wow!! Your colouring is simply amazing, this is the most impressive use of shading I have seen in all of the time I have been crafting!! It gives such great dimension to the image, just wow!
