I am just learning to use alcohol markers and the colorless blender has be awesome for color bleed over, pattern making with the blender and more. Would I recommend this to family and friends? I don't know.

I have been using a different brand of alcohol markers and the colorless blender works fine with them, I am getting ready to buy another brand of markers that are very much like the Copic markers but well, at about ¼ of the price and they have their own colorless blender pen. I will keep using the Copic colorless blender pen with the small set of markers I have now. If you really want to see the pen in action hop on over to youtube and there are tons of videos showing you how really versatile this pen is in world of alcohol markers

You do not use this for blending like u would with other copic markers. It lightens the area but creates a ring of darkness around the edges. Because of this, it is great for EFFECTS, such as adding texture. Think of it as using alcohal on watercolor.

You can use it too lighten an area that has gotten too dark. However, to avoid the dark rings, do not leave the marker on one spot of the paper for too long and do not use a back-and-forth motion. Instead, using a flicking motion.

If u wish to "blend" with it, use the tip-to-tip transfer blending technique. This technique involves two markers. You take a lighter marker (i.e colorless blender) and a darker marker and touch their tips together for a few seconds. Then take the lighter marker and use a scribbling or flicking strokes depending on the effect you want.

For a more dramatic blend, use the palette transfer blendimg technique. You scribble the darker marker on a nonporous surface, such as an acrylic stamp block, and pick up the ink with the lighter marker (i.e. colorless blender) and then use either the scribbling or flickering strokes.

Both of those techniques can also be used with the colored copic markers. Using the colorless blender blends from a color to white.

The colorless blender can also be used as a magic eraser, except it pushes the ink instead of erasing it. If you go outside the lines, u can push the ink back toward the image. However, only do this after the ink dries, or u will just allow more ink to bleed outside the lines.

Honest reviews on Copic Sketch Marker 0 Colorless Blender

I got this to use with my Prismacolor Premier colored pencils. It's one of several ways to blend shading in colored pencil drawings, and I'd never tried it before. A teacher for a class I was taking on colored pencil techniques for card makers suggested it, so I decided to give it a try.

It works great for blending the Prismacolor pencils -in fact, it's almost too good! It's easy to lose control of the color -the blender sort of "pushes" it around -so that has taken some getting used to. But I like the overall effect.

A good buy, for sure.

Definitely worth getting if you use Copic markers. (The Copic blender also works well with Prismacolor markers.) It's crazy nifty how the color DOESN'T get onto the blender.
