Hello friends and happy WEEKEND! I’m off at an Illustrated Faith class all day but will be checking in on my phone if I can. Well, you know how likely that is, right? lol. Anyway….some updated info!
- PERISCOPE Q&A! I broadcast yesterday afternoon (pacific time) – it’s be available HERE til this afternoon (Saturday). You can see a peek at some class materials as I flip through the book full of resources. And I answered a number of questions I’ve seen posted, which I also added those answers below and to the main blog post HERE. I’ll probably be doing more Q&As in the coming month for those with more questions, so stay tuned for all that. Here are the top questions so far:
- Do I have to be there at a special time? No. It’s not broadcast live – you can watch anytime.
- Will I have ongoing access? Yep! As long as this website is here, the class will be here for you. Save those emails with the link and password and you’ll be good to go.
- Can I download the videos? I’m going to try that after all. I had a really bad experience last year with someone swiping copies of my videos and posing as me on a new channel, and I’m extremely nervous about that. But if y’all pinky swear not to do that….then I’ll make the videos downloadable.
- Can I get a list of markers so I know how bad the budget will be hit before I sign up? You can go to THIS page, it’s mostly the list that I’ll be using throughout class. But – in preclass I provide a list of alternate colors for MANY of them, so you may have plenty of those colors. If you get into preclass and realize there’s just no way you can make it work, email me and I can refund your money. No harm no foul!
- How about other supplies, like stamps? For the stamped cards I’ll be showing, you do NOT have to have those stamps. You may well have something in your stash that’ll work. In preclass you can see sneak peeks, and I’ve added a little description of other images that can work to practice the same skill on that card.
- Can I use other alcohol markers? Honestly I don’t know. I have two people who are going to try it with SN markers and see if the techniques work, but many of these ideas are color- and nib-dependent, so I can’t make promises. If you’d like to wait for my “guinea pigs” to go through the first round, I’ll get a report back from them and let you know what they say, ok?
- What if I have zero Copics? Is there a short list of what I really need? On the preclass page, I’ve added a couple options for you. It’ll hamstring you on a few things if you have so few pens (about 16 markers are in each option) – but remember, you can come back and “re-take” the class anytime. So once your birthday comes, and Mother’s Day, and be nice to your wife day, and Christmas…well by then you’ll have plenty of colors right? *grin*
Cool new graphic for your pinning pleasure
Some of you stayed tuned to yesterday’s blog post long enough to check out the new blending groups graphic – others missed it in the excitement to start class! lol. So be sure to go add it to your pinboard. Click HERE or on the image to go see!
My deepest apologies.
I saw some very unkind comments among my viewers on YouTube yesterday, and they’ve been handled. I am so sorry for those affected. I love you guys. I’m protective of my peeps…and I hope everyone will be playing nice now. 🙂
Thanks for answering our questions.
I’m wondering if we shouldn’t start thinking about sharing markers? If we share our general area, we can get groups to meet at local craft stores, or other shared spaces that won’t mind video being played or craft supplies being brought in (provided we all make some kind of token purchase as a thank you). I have most of the markers or alternates. I think there are 5 that I did not have or have an alternate for. Most were already on my want list. I also have a lot of prismacolor which blend well with Copics, but are not quite as smooth (and are disposable ugh). I’m on the east side of Raleigh, N.C. if anyone wants to team up.
I’ve signed up and my payment is complete. Where do I access the pre-class materials?
Adding that mainly, at this time, I want to see the list of alternate colors. I’m 19 short but if I have alternates I can whittle down my list a little.
You should have gotten the emal by now, did you check spam?
I’ve gotten several emails but none show a link to access class materials (or pre-class, in this case). I just looked and the last email I received (today around noon) says I will receive an email with class content shortly. I’m probably just being impatient. :p
Sandy, please share with us the difference between this class and the Online Cards Class for Copics that mostly you taught. I know that you addressed this on your periscope, but would you address this where those who are considering the class will have access to it for more than 24 hours?
You’ll have ongoing access – you can re-watch any time as many times as you like. The Periscope is the thing only available for 24 hours – no class content has a time limit.
Content-wise, this class focuses more on color theory to help people find more colors that’ll work together, and light/shadow education too. The basic marker info is the same (though presented in a different way with new videos and updated info) since the products are the same, but the rest goes a different direction.
Hi Sandy,
I’ve registered for the class but can’t access anything. The only email I received was confirmation of payment. I’m really eager to start! 🙂
I’ll look into it as soon as I’m back at a computer.
I’ve checked and it was sent to you, can you please check your spam folder?
Thank you! I can’t believe I didn’t check that. (Smacking myself on the head!)
Oh hooray! Glad it’s there.
Just sign to the Copic class and have already looked at all the videos. Learn already alot. I am looking so much forward to the class itself. Take care. you talented lady 😉
Love and peace, Asta
I also need the link to the class markers list. The link isn’t functioning. Thanks!
It’s the same link as the chart below, sorry—link is fixed now.
I would like to compare the markers I own with the ones that will be used in the class, but the list of class markers doesn’t seem to have a clickable link. Could you give me a link? Thanks.
It’s the same link as the chart below, sorry—link is fixed now.
I just don’t understand how people can give negative and mean comments. If you don’t want to take the class then just get out of the site and move on. You are an amazingly talented artist and are so generous to share those talented with us.
Thanks for this information. Sorry about the negative comments you get time to time.
Good morning! Thanks for compiling the questions in one location. Is the blending groups graphic going to be part of the class (pre-colored or blank)? I can already tell I’d like to have one to go with my hex chart and my standard Copic chart (which I made myself).
Thanks

Hmm I hadn’t considered that but it’s a great idea!
