Learning to Colour with Copics

I have just begun to learn how to use Copic markers. They are all the rage and I see designers colouring, shading and giving "depth" to images.  Frankly, they must be freaks!!!  LOL!  I am booked to take the Copic Certification in Toronto in a few weeks, so I am hoping that I too will end up colouring with confidence and, hopefully, skill.

Well....a girl can dream.

So, having said that, please be kind.
