Mmmmmmm…Markers!

***If you had trouble downloading the charts yesterday, try again, I uploaded them directly to this page*** Note the Copic chart is at the bottom of this web page****

Howdy folks! The other day I went over to the Copic marker website and downloaded their hand color chart. At first I thought it was silly to print a blank chart and color it in my self (why not just keep the full color chart from their catalog) but then I realized if I colored my own then it would only have the colors I owned and the colors would be EXACT unlike the colors in the printed color chart and the color on the marker ends. I love it so much I decided to make a color chart for my Prismacolor markers and my Bic-Mark-its:

look at all the pretty colors! You can down load the Copic one from copic.com and the other two charts below!

I tried to find charts like these online but I couldn’t but I stumbled upon this interesting blog that had converted some of the Bic mark it colors to Copic. I started with that info and my stash of markers to convert the Bic Mark its to Copic and Prismacolor markers. Some of the colors I agree with and some I found a better (IMHO) match by working with the actual markers side by side.

Just color over the color names with the broad end of your marker. Both of these charts are .pdf documents, just click on the link and print then color. You can print and color these charts and have them with you when you go shopping to help you make good marker choices (better than lugging around your markers!) and you will see the true colors of your markers instead or misleading cap colors! BTW these three brands of markers play nice together!

I spent many hours on this project so if you like it please send crafty friends here to download the charts. I think this is useful and worthwhile to do, by making the color charts with your own markers you will know exactly what you have for colors when working on projects and you can bring them to the store with you so you do not make duplicate purchases, and it is good nerdy fun!

Thanks for stopping by and til next time happy crafting!
