Let’s look at how we typically mess-up the ratio of colorant to solvent: Good blending comes from good solvent control

They’re not all pretty blends but they all blend. When color particles are free to move, they will blend.

It doesn’t matter what color they are, what the value is, or if there’s a full moon. There isn’t a single Copic in your collection that won’t blend with every other Copic marker. With the right amount of solvent, all Copics will blend smoothly and seamlessly with any other Copic color. When the particles have complete freedom to move, the particles will disperse and blend. Hey, remember? We call ‘em alcohol markers for a reason.Īlcohol inks are a bunch of tiny little color particles swimming around in an alcohol solution. The reason why inks disperse evenly in a glass is because both colors are floating freely in a generous sea of solvent. It’s called dispersion- the science of distributing color particles evenly. So who do you call when your Copic Markers aren’t blending? All we care is that they’re selling magic at a reasonable price. We don’t have to know how we don’t even want to know how. There’s even a magic guy who makes house calls! What happens when no hot water comes out of the faucet? What happens when your phone screen turns blue? Magical thinking allows you to drop the car off and never worry about clunks again. Granted, he’s not using actual spells or pixie dust… but for all you know, it might as well be magic.

Nope, instead, a mechanic magically fixes it for you. You don’t know why the car engine clunks, do you? So what happens when your car starts making a clunking sound? “But I’m an educated person! And I looooove science!” “I heart science” is the catchphrase of the decade.īut the truth is, we don’t actually heart science. Yet despite the supposedly vast quantities of smart-stuff available nowadays, we still do a whole lott’a magical thinking.
