How I Store My Tools 1 - Coloring Medium (Copics & Prismacolor)

There are two ways that I do my coloring.  One is using Copic Markers and the other is using Primacolor and Gamsol.  Some people uses Prismacolor colored pencil for the base and the blending. I do mine a little differently.  I would color the images first with Prismacolor markers then I would use Prismacolor colored pencils for blending and shadowing.
This craft tote is supposedly designed for tools but I used it instead for storing my Copic markers.

 

I found this basket perfect for storing my Prismacolor, blending stumps, kneaded eraser, sanding block and my small bottle of Goo Gone.  I prefer to use Goo Gone rather than Gamsol.  I find it easy to blend using Goo Gone because it glides like a butter.  I think Gamsol dries really quickly so you need to dip your stump more often.

 The other sets of pens are my Sakura gelly roll pens that I used as lipsticks and highlighting medium.

 This Derwent Inktense pencil is my new discovery.  Pencil blends really nicely and quickly without the use of Gamsol or Goo Gone.  It's like a watercolor pencils but the difference is it is alot better than watercolor pencils.

On the top of my computer armoire, I have pen organizers that I used to store my Prismacolor markers, Bic Mark-it markers, Sharpies and my EF, which was a Korean version of Copics.  Again, they are sorted according to colors
