If you are getting started with alcohol based inks, you might want to try out some grayscale alternatives to Copic Markers first.
If you are unsure if what you are working with should feel ‘warm’ or ‘cold’, then the Neutral Grays will do you just fine. So adding gradations of gray on the way up to black is a good route to take for a more natural feeling image. To just color an object black is to deny it any volume, any depth. With no other pigment sharing the space, this should be your first gray choice if you aren’t looking to specialise in reproducing cold or warm tones. Neutral gray is neutral, as its name suggests, and as a result is the most versatile of gray families. If the sepia hue of Warm is too much for you, and you are looking for a more pure warm gray, this will be your best bet. Interestingly, to me Toner Grays feel warm as well, but with the color addition dialled back. This set feels furthest from a true gray, with a noticeable sepia tint. Ideal for coloring natural gray objects, and those which lack the cold metallic edge of metals. Warm Grays are made warm by the addition of brown to the ink. This makes it ideal for coloring cold objects, such as metals and plastics. Families of GrayĬool Grays get their cool nature from a hint of blue in the mix. The number indicates brightness: the closer to 0, the brighter. The letter demarcates which family of gray the pen belongs to, and there is only one number. This obviously doesn’t apply to the grayscale Copic Markers, because they are all gray.

If you are used to the traditional color codes on Copic Markers, you will know that the first number in the code relates to the saturation of color in the ink – the higher the number the more gray in the mix. There’s no right answer, it will come down to experimenting with the different tones and knowing how they interact with the other colors you have chosen, as well as the paper you are using Copics on. The nuances available in the range of Grayscale Copic Markers mean you can match tones to the artwork you are producing.
Ĭhoosing which gray to use is an art in itself, the numbers above show that it’s not as simple as deciding you need a gray in your project. In total there are 46 tones of Copic gray available.
