What makes Copic Markers so Special?

There were stacks of coloring books in my closet as a kid! I remember, on the floor in the middle of the family room surrounded by pencil boxes of crayons, colored pencils and markers – my sister and I would color for hours!! I’m guessing most of us crafty folk did when we were kids.

Here’s what I remember most about coloring when I was a kid.

• Used the darker color to outline the image.
• Tried to blend colors cause let’s face it 24 colors were NOT enough!
• Colored in different directions all over the page.
• The markers were almost always dry, unless brand new.
• Crayons always broke.
• Colored pencils were always dull because the sharpener was lost and shoving it in the one behind the one on the crayon box would always jam it up.

I swear every time I was at the store with my mom I’d ask for another box or crayons, markers, etc.

But, what is it about colors all lined up in a row that make it so appealing to us as kids and now as an adult?

“Coloring is my therapy“

Studies show when you color, it actually puts the brain in a meditative state which benefits you by:

• Lower stress levels.
• Helps put you in more of a relaxed state.
• Coloring actually helps with inspiring you to create!
• Can help improve sleep and attention spans. 

So, when people make the comment – “Coloring is my therapy“. They aren’t lying. 

Did you ever think you’d get that feeling of creative excitement again? Whether you’re printing digis or stamping and sit at your desk to color- it’s time for your “Coloring Therapy” which is a lot like running in the family room with my coloring books and crayon boxes all over again!
