Do these need to be done in actual Copics or markers in general?

Are there markers other than Copics? lol I'll allow markers in general. So colored permanent marks are fine, however colored pencils/pens would still be a no go.

 

Reason I asked is because this is an excerpt from Chris Stevens' deviant art page:

 

Markers: Prismacolor Cool and French grey markers. I think "Copic" has become another word for "marker" these days, so it's assumed that I'm using Copics for all of my work, but I actually use Prismacolor for all of my figures and detail work and only use Copic markers for backgrounds. I use to use "Warm" greys but I like the sepia look of French more now. I also occasionally use Copic color markers when I'm doing a full color marker piece. Why do I like Prismacolor markers? I think I've just always useed them and now it's what I'm comfortable with. I like the flexibility of the wide tip and I like the look of their inks when they dry.

 

Just wanted to clarify......

So in response to mikes question about what is the sketch illuminati, it's the renamed botb planning commitee. The idea was to have a public body people could reach out to with questions instead of everything coming straight to me. that way we remove all chance of bias. I'll still be running things but this will allow for more people to be involved behind the scenes. Major decisions still be made by public vote. Just rule clarifactions can be directed to a larger body. And cool surprise events can be bigger and better.

 

Botb has always been for the people and by the people. And that will remain the same.
