Copic Hex Chart

[@BayleeJae]

You might have saved yourself a lot of time (and paper and ink) if you cut out the hexes and rearranged them like a puzzle instead of colouring the chart over and over. XD Thank you for all your hard work on this chart! It's a brilliant idea.

[@SandyAllnock1]

Baylee Jae I kept thinking it was going to be "done" with each round, so starting over to do it that way was a waste...but if I did it again i'd sure cut out the hexes!

[@redgeminiarts3674]

That would be more work and not look as nice. Thank you Sandy for all of your hard work.

[@unboundbytiffany]

That's exactly what I did for my marker collection, all 149 little swatches. Lol

[@hazelparr8461]

I bet I'm not the only one who bought this chart before even watching this video. I think you are super talented and knowing that you put all the time and effort into creating this chart was enough for me. Will jump round the hop tomorrow, Big hugs clever lady, Hazel xxx

[@jannettedavis4670]

I wanted to let you know I filled out my chart and it gives me a better idea of which way I want to buy more colors. I love it! Thank you for all your hard work.

[@suetownsend1932]

Thank you so much for your hard work and artist's eye as your hex chart evolved! I have purchased your hex chart, and am attempting to understand color relationships. I'll be watching your Copic videos again and again until it all makes sense to this 71 year old newbie!!! I appreciate your patience, tips and hints!! ♥

[@janinelew2483]

I just purchased your chart today. It is magnificent! Thank you so much for sharing. It is worth every penny and more. I also just started your Copic class and I'm loving it! My daughter just started college and is an art major. She's enjoying your videos too. She printed her own hex chart and she's loving it.

[@Artmuse2011]

Sandy you are one of the reasons why I love copics ! You have rejuvenated my love of colouring. Thank you.

[@Lillian.M.]

Sandy's thank you so much for creating this ! This hex chart is going to be a MUST have for everyone, and I knew right away as soon as I saw it, I needed one and needed to have one now, so purchase it ! Sandy, this is truly a labor of love in creating this, by far the BEST chart I have ever seen ! Just looking at all the colors in that type of layout, it's like WOW ! You are able to see everything is one view, and really see so much more of the details of each color, next to the closet match. THANK YOU xoxo

[@deborahmt57]

I was fortunate to receive one of these charts early and started coloring last night. First off, just the coloring is very relaxing! But I also see the benefits of laying out the colors like this. It really highlights those subtle differences between colors and I will find this very useful. Thanks Sandy, it's brilliant!

[@silkeschumann7261]

I recommend to just get a hexagon punch and color all hexagons on hexagon shaped pieces of paper and use removable adhesive and write the number by hand. This way you can arrange the color until the color groups are perfect. I know 20:20 hindsight ;)

[@alannamoses6315]

Wow this is absolutely, amazing. I actually just got done coloring a chart from the copic site earlier this week. I am very excited about your chart as I think it will help me better identify what colors I can blend together outside of the original color families. Thank you!!!!!

[@crystallp6274]

Sandy!!! This chart is amazing! I am so excited and I can't wait to color this chart! I just downloaded all of your Copic digit stamps and the Hex chart from your online store. I am so excited and ready I am ready to color my chart! Thank you Sandy!!

[@RinTV2]

Wow! Thank you for all your dedication to this project. This answers so many of my copic color questions.

[@janinelewis43]

The Hex chart is amazing! Thanks for your hard work in creating this.

[@darlawelch9676]

Thanks for giving us the reference to find Sharon's two-page chart. That's going to be very helpful to me.

[@JulieBarneson]

Just bought your hex chart! Thank you for creating this!

[@SandyAllnock1]

Enjoy!

[@dorothyling1]

yes, indeed... Thank You Sandy !!!

[@craftyhilogirl]

OMG thank you so much!!! I can't believe how much work you put into this and you are sharing it with all of us! You Rock!!

[@l18807]

This is EXACTLY what I've needed to figure the color relationships! Thanks so very much for all the time you invested.

[@rebeccareynolds7169]

Oh wow, Sandy! This is awesome! Thank YOU! This totally makes sense to me. Thanks for all your hard work and time.

[@amadoreros]

This is Awesome! I started to print it as I was watching the video! Thank you so much for all of your hard work to bring this to all of us. Amador

[@judymcewan3053]

a nice chart and it is great to be able to see the relationship between colors of Copic

[@jeanstamps1]

Oh my gosh Sandy, I can't believe all you went thru to make this chart. In my head I was thinking of a giant magnetic board and magnetic punched hexagons that were colored and being moved around. Of course if I were doing what you did to make this (which I never could have done) I wouldn't have thought of it. Thank you for doing this and offering it to us. I am just getting into copics so it will definitely be a great help.

[@teresameek7745]

Thank you! This is a total game changer for me! I don't have many copics but now I feel like my collection just doubled!

[@83AZGirl]

Bought and Downloaded the Hex Bundle! So excited! This is revolutionary, for me at least!

[@KonaSitkaRose]

Hi Sandy! You deserve some kind of bonus or reward of some kind for developing this chart. I love yours although I have and use both Sharon's and the one from the Copic website. Like you, I cannot read the numbers anymore so I will search for the larger ones from Sharon. I love what you made. If I had one, it would be covered with clear contact paper or something cause I spill stuff. ♥

[@mimizabela6120]

What a fantastic chart!! It's going to help so much with choosing color combos. I can't believe how long and hard you worked on this and truly appreciate you sharing it with us. Thanks Mimi

[@marilynshavor6496]

What kind of paper did you print the. Optic hex chart on. Will it go through a home printer or do you have to have a print shop print it for you? Thanks, Marilyn

[@NancyLynn]

Sandy, I don't know how you kept the patience doing this chart LOL. I truly can't imagine the work you put into this but please know that I appreciate it immensely.

[@kathleenwingerson]

AMAZING chart!! Thank you so very much. I know it will really help me choose colors.

[@carolsze6559]

This was quite the undertaking. Thank you for this chart! It will be extremely helpful!!

[@karenstuart9785]

Just got the chart. Love the chart! Thank you Sandy!

[@scrapgirl14671]

Wow I wish this had been done before I purchased so many markers, though it is still going to be an awesome help! Just being able to see how the colors look with one another and whether they are cool or warm will make a world of difference. Thanks for doing this Sandy!

[@SandyAllnock1]

Maureen Hayes I think we all wish that! Wait til you get to May's video at the end of the hop - I'm so jealous of her!

[@biamakani3548]

This is amazing Sandy! I always wanted something like this but was too lazy I might add to make it. Started doing it but couldn't since I have only a few Copics. You did an amazing & quite difficult thing. Thank You :*

[@raydm4015]

Nice job! A color chart wheel would also be a good solution I think. With darker colors on the outside and very light colors in the center.

[@anitaholmes6824]

Thanks Sandi...this will really help since I am new to Copics and currently only own 4 markers and the colorless blender...LOL.....I have been reluctant to buy mainly cause I don't know which ones I need first...a painful process especially since they are costly. So with this info it will certainly make it easier! Anita

[@kerry-annewer566]

Thankyou for all your hard work....going to colour it in right now....xx

[@Bunny_the_Rabbit]

Thanks, Sandy. This is a very nice video hop and the Hex chart is great.

[@happyimpressions8902]

A hint for those worried about the numbers smudging or not showing up for darker colors: just use a little bit of pebeo masking gum on each number. It dries transparent, has no bad reactions to Copics, and rubs off very easily afterwards. :)

[@sgriff097]

Happy Impressions I just go over the code with my blender a few times

[@CraftyQT]

I got my hex chart! I sent my afternoon filling it out. Color wise it's such a great idea! Thanks

[@cherylscrivens3560]

Oh, Sandy, this is fabulous! I've used the other charts for years (and need to redo them myself because of fading), but this new one is fabulous!! Yay, and thank you for all this hard work. I totally understand about moving these hexagons and seeing how they do or do not fit. Thank you! Going to purchase it now!! Hugs!

[@SandyAllnock1]

Cheryl Scrivens Color them all at the same time - while you have the pens out! :)

[@cherylscrivens3560]

Thank you, Sandy! I shall...that's how I did my others (and yes, I've done numerous ones, since they fade over time). So excited! Hugs!

[@nancymaewi]

What an awesome resource!!! I've got mine, will color it later! Can't wait to start using it! Thank you so much!!

[@smooth_Koala]

I just bought this chart a few days ago and I love it

[@skmoreau100]

I love your hex chart. I use it all the time!

[@SailaSaari]

♥Thank you Sandy♥ This hex chart is so helpful!

[@donnadacy5876]

This is nice. I use a different alcohol marker but this is going to be so helpful to those who use Copics. You are amazing to have figured this out. Great idea. TFS

[@МашаКуракина-ж7в]

I just purchased it, great work! Thank you!

[@brendalawrence6732]

Wow, this chart was a lot of work Sandy, but it looks fabulous! I don't own any Copic's, but plan to get some. So this may come in handy for me one day.

[@janphat8901]

Thank you so much it's wonderful & really help a beginner like me. Thanks again Sandy

[@AuntieTriza]

This is amazing and will be so sooo helpful!!! You have just cut my brain requirement, and which colour deciding time completely in half! Thank you so much for coming up with it. I have purchased it already and can't wait to use it. p.s I printed it on photo paper the colours come out so clear and vibrant. Now you know what people are going to be wanting next right...... For those that can't afford many copics - A chart that shows an extra colour that can be 'made' by using one copic and touching the tip to another copic .... You might end up with a list of say only 150 markers to buy to be able to 'have' amost all of the actual copic colours :)

[@SandyAllnock1]

Auntie Triza Ohmygosh now my brain melted down at the thought of another chart - ha!! Oh the pain....

[@marilynholman329]

Amazing. Thanks for all of your hard work!

[@katrineleber7238]

Sandy, this is amazing! I have given this need a lot of thought and could never figure out how to do it. your chart is just unbelievably fabulous. you are amazing. thanks so much for doing this for us. I cant tell you how long it took me to collect my markers. don't laugh, but I went from michaels to other stores that let me try the markers. so now I have a sheet with all of them that I have tried, and I have another chart with the ones that I own. the boxes are small so I have trouble seeing them. lol this is going to help me so so much.

[@SandyAllnock1]

katrine leber The boxes on other charts are too teeny for my old eyeballs - I'm glad I'm not the only one! :)

[@katrineleber7238]

sandy, I just realized that my iPhone has a magnifying glass with a bright light with it. I was so happy. people look at me funny when I use it, but it really helps.

[@songpitch1294]

I love your nail polish ❤️

[@annettesiverson]

I just purchased it, and plan to color it in before the Copics class starts on 5/27th TFS, Annette

[@Craftyglittergirl250]

Wow this is great! Thanks so much for sharing with us xo

[@joyelleforjesus]

An excellent resource!!!!

[@tammy5590]

This is neat. Good job. Thanks for sharing.

[@rebeccaharden6018]

Thank you so much. I just found these today

[@SandyAllnock1]

You are so welcome!

[@lovetoscrap6]

new to copics. Your videos are great, thanks for sharing them! i can't seem to find the larger printed coloring copic charts on Sharon's website?

[@SandyAllnock1]

She may have removed them by now; she used to work for/teach for the US distributor, and once Copic ended that relationship, a lot of things changed. ☹️

[@susanharkema2888]

Sandy: Have you ever seen the game blendoku? It's right up your alley. Addicting color blending puzzles.

[@SandyAllnock1]

I haven’t-sounds fun!

[@CouzCat]

I know what you mean. I'm on a budget & have Spectrum Noirs. They provide similar coloured & blank charts on their site. I recently located the blank colour chart & coloured it since I'd noticed from using them that the markers were far more vibrant than the coloured chart provided by Spectrum Noir. It's the nature of the beast. TFS

[@SandyAllnock1]

CouzCat Yep I wish the printouts would be more accurate. But I hear from some folks that the printouts look fabulous, so that's good someone has a better machine than me. LOL!

[@charylhodges470]

I love the colors. I wish I had enough copic markers to really fill out a chart :) I've printed out the copic website sheet you mentioned and filled it in with the small amt. of markers I have :( The hex chart is a great idea Sandy.

[@SandyAllnock1]

Charyl Hodges You'll get there at some point! :) You can still pause on a screen on the video to see what colors you want to buy next, and then get the chart when it seems like something you'll need :)

[@charylhodges470]

:) Yes, your right. I am slowly getting there. I have been buying the sketch sets (3 markers). I do also buy them individually from my local Hobby Lobby. I use a 40% off coupon each time that's why it's taking so long...... ha ha

[@carolmelancon]

Thank you so much for making your hard work available. (I hate to be one of "those people" and try never to ask, BUT your nail polish is my very favorite color [especially with the chrome look, and I did check your blog post first but couldn't find it], so could you please tell me what brand and color it is?

[@brushjunkie]

This is wonderful! I wish there was a version like this for coloured pencils. ;P

[@nafordebi]

brushjunkie couldn't u print the copic one off their site and white out the numbering system and then write in pencil numbers? not that i'm suggesting u steal anything mind u the copic one is free

[@amadoreros]

I meant I'm going to get the chart as I was watching this video! I got excited LOL

[@pumkin54]

When we purchase this will we have to buy it again every time you update it (new color releases and whatnot)? Or does a single purchase mean we get future updates for free or even at a discount? I'm going to buy this, but I'm just curious if we'll have to toss in 6 bucks again whenever you make changes. :-) This was an amazing idea btw and so much effort on your part. Thank you for sharing.

[@mozartstudio18]

That looks so cool

[@carriebrondyke3253]

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! I can only imagine what a nightmare this was to figure out so, again, Thank you!

[@fjardil]

Looks amazing! Yould almost be a wall art...

[@Marqaisa]

I got your DL and I was wondering what you consider as Copic Friendly paper. Thanks

[@SandyAllnock1]

+Michaela Hudson Neenah is what I use but print it on whatever you normally use.

[@ashleybeckwith1799]

This is great!! Will it be okay to print this with my inkjet printer and color it, or do the copics only work with a laser printed document?

[@SandyAllnock1]

Ashley Beckwith Test it out and see - if it smears, you can take a printout to your local copy shop and have them copy it onto Neenah for you :)

[@stephanielynn5456]

Copics work fine with my inkjet printer but maybe you should color a test image before you print out the chart just to check!

[@scrapgirl14671]

I know my inkjet smears with Copics, so I go to Staples and print it on Neenah and then color. That is why I don't do digi stamps. But for this chart I will definitely do it! Hope this helps.

[@ChristinaFurnerWebber]

Hi! I apologize if this has been asked and answered (I did watch and READ all of the comments, but uhm) .... Anyway, I know you said you did a chart with just one pass of the marker. So, on the hex chart, are the swatches saturated with color? Or, uugghh!, how many times did you color a hex? I'm really not great at communicating :-) Thank you so much for your help!! Oh, the body doesn't make a difference, right? I only have 3 sketch, and a pkg of 4 (I think) Ciao that I actually won in a Copic contest (YAY!! First time I've ever won anything in my life!). That's correct, right? Thanks a million for your help and time!!

[@kellyholtzmoss1660]

LOVE this so much, thank you for creating it. One question, I cannot for the life of me find B60 and B65, are they on it?

[@SandyAllnock1]

B60 is...bottom left. it’s kinda like playing Bingo 🤣 B65 doesn’t exist.

[@CardsbyMaaike]

lots of work, but it's fabulous I like the names on copics they make sense, i have trouble with my spectrum noirs, i just don;t get them, prob cos im used to the copic names ;-) thanks for your effort

[@valeriebreingan147]

A treasure to have

[@marianne030]

did you print a laser printer with 8 1/2 x 11 cardstock?

[@SandyAllnock1]

That's the right size; check to see if your toner will bleed or work ok.

[@marianne030]

+Sandy Allnock I only have ink jet...but I see on You Tube that they use laser printer...is that necessary? Also...I'm a newbie and but enough $$ copics are expensive...what set/sets do you recommend I start first...thanks

[@happyimpressions8902]

If you are worried about the black bleeding, use a little bit of masking fluid over the numbers before coloring the hexagons in. It stays transparent, so you can still see where to color, but keeps the ink and Copics from smudging together. It also allows you to still see them when using the darker colors, instead of having to re-write the number in white ink. :)

[@Dsiegel7]

I don't really understand how to use the chart. You explained a lot! So thanks for that. But what do you do once you have I colored? Do you use the colors that are next to each other for shading? I don't get it? Sorry

[@SandyAllnock1]

+D once your chart is colored you'll see colors in the same region you might not have thought to use together. There's no rules; most of the time colors right next to each other are too close so skip a few.

[@ToryE1959]

Sandy....my question is I want to purchase the chart. My question is...if I purchase on my Laptop at home am I able to pull up the download in my e-mail to be able to download at work which has a Laser Printer to print off. My printer isn't working and it is not a Laser Printer to boot.

[@SandyAllnock1]

***** Yes, you'll get a link by email, and you can download wherever you want. Then you'll have the file to print :)

[@ToryE1959]

Thank you Sandy. I printed off and began filling in my chart. I thought I had so many but can see I have a LOT more to go. However your color chart really helps where I want to decide what colors I want to focus on getting. So so helpful.

[@sallystapleton4237]

Hi Sandy do you know of a chart like yours but for promarkers. Thanks Sally

[@SandyAllnock1]

Sorry, no.

i know this video is already pretty old but i was trying to look around and couldnt find weither that smaller chart , the one for the grays , was also included if you buy this ? it would be really helpfull ^^

Yes it's included ❤️

[@gin7007]

thanks !! i was really thinking of buying this but i wanted to check again if this was in as well . i bet its gonna be really helpful , thank you ^^

[@pamratcliff237]

Would love to have a colored Copic chart. I use Touch Twins and would like to have one to compare to them. Is there a way I can purchase one?

[@SandyAllnock1]

Pam Ratcliff I have a friend who loves to color charts (yeah, strange!) so I'm asking her to figure out how long it would take and what her cost would be, so she could do a bunch. I'll let everyone know if that becomes available.

[@pamratcliff237]

Oh, thank you so much!

[@kayekaye47]

I went to your blog and I can't get to any other page to load. I can't get the purchase the hex chart to open.

[@AHowellnanato2]

quick question, I have a E04 marker and do not see a place for it on the Hex chart. is it maybe under another color?

[@boywonder3330]

Can you digitally colour it?

[@SandyAllnock1]

It wouldn't look like the actual marker colors if you did...

[@rosavaldes2599]

Where can I download the Hex Charts or any of these charts

[@rosavaldes2599]

Do you know what happen to RV 20 blush? I do not see it in the copic marker chart The one that has te lil boxes I can hardly read; but it’s not there

[@SandyAllnock1]

It’s there on the chart. I’m assuming this means you got your order to go through?

[@nafordebi]

are there colors missing???? i can't find 3 or four i was coloring the hex chart ..... l looked everywhere can't find a few color places i bought it and am coloring it but then couldn't find colors i stopped

[@SandyAllnock1]

No colors are missing...sometimes it feels like Copic bingo to find them...

[@ellinorberntsson4962]

can you buy a Hex chart that is sent ready somewhere? I don't have a printer and no one to help me print for me.

[@SandyAllnock1]

Unfortunately no, but you could take the pdf on a jump drive to your local copy shop and they can print it on your Copic friendly paper. Photocopy ink is typically Copic safe. 🥰

[@XtianApi]

If you would like perfect color reproduction, I'd be interested to help. I photograph artwork. I would calibrate several things to create a custom profile for the exact photograph. Then print on a 14 color behemoth. I feel I could do it.

[@SandyAllnock1]

I so appreciate the offer! Though wouldn’t people’s printer goof it up anyway?

[@XtianApi]

@@SandyAllnock1 oh, I was thinking of professionally printing it. But you're right, you are just providing a file. Well, one option is you could set it up so a professional printer could drop ship the print to them. I like mpix.com (no affiliation). People could buy the physical print for like 20 bucks on your site and mpix could drop ship it. Or, you could just tell them, hey don't bother buying this unless you are going to get it professionally printed. But I also understand if you don't want to fuss with any of that, lol. Selling a nice physical print mounted on a nice thin dense poster board with a kickstand... I'd spend 25 on that for sure.

[@strawbrryfld1]

😁🤗

[@megindog6484]

6 years and copic colours fade!! What about he art work people make with them!!

[@SandyAllnock1]

That's why it's important to know your medium - if it needs a long shelf life, frame it using the fancy glass that reduces fading. :)

[@orbeezslurper]

I know you have to make money, but 6 dollars for just a stupid piece of paper to slap marker onto??? why couldn't you just have 2 PDFs (one for greys and one for colours) and have us just print it ourselves?????

[@SandyAllnock1]

You do get the pdfs separate to print out yourself; the value is in all the work done to create the chart in that format. I get tons of comments about it being worth the cost, but it's ok if you don't wish to own one. :)

[@AHowellnanato2]

oh poo never mind I found it...lol
