I've just one question now- Whatpencil do you think is best for a flesh colour??

Ger, I use Light peach (PC927) for the base and build up then use peach (PC939) for the shadowing and cheeks

Here you go - http://www.copicmarker.com/home/cm1/smartlist/110/0

I got the ABS-1 set. They fit the Copic original and sketch markers but not the Ciao markers (I have read that someone is supposedly making an adapter for them...).

Haven't had chance to play with mine yet, except a brief go with the markers at Christmas. Have to say though, from that very brief go I was rather impressed.

I'm afraid I got mine from the Netherlands - my partner's sister in law bought them over for me when they came for Christmas - an art shop near where they live had a special offer on just before Christmas - the Copic original markers were 4 euros each, so just under £3, and I got a free stand case to keep them in.

I use the Ciao ones from cult pens, excellent price, free P&P over £10 and their service is fab.

I thought I would try some Zest It and on reading about it thought it sounds very like the citrus sticky stuff remover I have from Lakeland and it is!!It blends quite well, not sure if I prefer it, it does seem to last on the stump longer and the smell is much nicer but I have yet to try it on different cardstock.

Thanks Kim I will check out their site.

do u need to get a seperate stump for each colour and are they re-usable? ie how many do u recommend to buy for a 48 pencil box?

edited to say just read back and found my answer

You don't NEED to because you can sand or sharpen them but it is much easier if you have one for say at least each colour group.

I find mine don't transfer the old colour at all if I just do a quick scribble on a plain piece of paper. I have been using the same on , unsharpened for ages in all colours and has been fine. I do have two but never used the second. My pastel pencils arrived yesterday, great deal on that auction site , off to play later

Just to add, if you do go for pastels, be aware colour mix is always slightly different to Prismas, light on reds, loads of greens,blues,browns,pinks as that is what pastel artists want.You might need to get some extra reds!
