Introduction<\/h2>\n

Copic Markers are a popular architectural drawing tool. They are used for a wide variety of applications, from interior design and architecture to engineering and scientific illustration. Copic Markers are highly pigmented, fade-resistant, and produce vibrant and long lasting results. Copic Markers are great for when you need something extra to bring your illustration or design to life. Copics have a wide range of colors, double-ended applicators, and colorless blender and colorless blender markers that make them ideal for architecture students or professionals. In this article, we’ll explore how to use Copic Markers to add professional touches to your architecture drawings.<\/p>\n

Coloring Techniques<\/h2>\n

When using Copic Markers for architecture drawings, there are several techniques to consider. Copic’s rich pigments are great for adding vivid, contrast to your drawing. You can use different coloring techniques to create depth and texture to your architecture drawing. Different Copic Colors can be placed adjacent to each other to create gradients. Additionally, you can use complementary colors to bring out certain details in a drawing. For instance, a bright yellow can contrast with a dark blue to highlight shadows in the drawing.
\nIn addition to color layering, Copic Markers can also be used to create special effects in your drawing. For example, Copic Markers can be used for cross-hatching, dry-brush painting, stippling, and feather-tipping creating varying line widths. You can also draw light and dark lines and use a fluffy blender to create solid or pastel-tinted areas in your drawing.<\/p>\n

Color Selection<\/h2>\n

When selecting Copic Markers for your architectural drawings, there are several factors to consider. First, consider the type of look you’d like your drawing to have. Copics are available in multiple finishes, including Matte, Metallic, and Neon. Additionally, each marker has an “N” number assigned to it, which refers to its lightfastness. An “N7” rating, for example, indicates that the color will not fade over an extended period of time. It’s important to consider how intense or vibrant you want the color to appear, as this may affect the number of layers of paint you will need to apply to achieve the desired effect.
\nFurthermore, it’s important to ensure that the Copic Marker you are using works for the material you are working with. Some Copic Markers may not be suitable for use on certain materials or surfaces. Finally, consider the range of Copic Markers available in the range of colors you will need to create your architectural drawing.<\/p>\n

Maintenance <\/h2>\n

It’s important to follow basic Copic Marker maintenance tips to keep your Copic Markers in good condition and increase their life span. It’s best to store your Copic Markers horizontally, in a designated Copic Case, to ensure their quality and prevent them from drying out. Additionally, it’s important to properly seal the tops of your markers when you’re finished with them. You should also clean your Copic Markers regularly to remove any buildup of ink or dust. Wiping the markers with a damp cloth can help reduce this buildup and keep your Copic Markers in good condition.<\/p>\n
