That is wonderful to hear! Thanks!💗

[@margaretalbrecht4429]

I think my favorite is the neutral one. And, yes, love tip and instruction type videos, especially for copics and patterned paper.

[@christygetscrafty]

Thanks for weighing in! I love to hear everyone’s favorites.💕

[@debbiebugh8508]

Great lesson and love having these comparisons . Thanks!

[@christygetscrafty]

Glad you enjoyed it!😀

[@rigmorolsson4765]

Looooved to see these combinations! :) The E70 version is very interesting and very fitting for the elephant! :)Thank you so much! Hugs!

[@christygetscrafty]

I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Rigmor! Thanks so much for watching! Hugs!🤗

[@frannier2617]

What a great tutorial. It is helpful to see the differences on a stamped image. Thanks for writing the colors by each... So I could take a screen shot!

[@christygetscrafty]

Oh good! I’m glad that was helpful for you!😀

[@cives2008]

Thanks for sharing this Christy. It's nice to see all the greys in variation.

[@christygetscrafty]

I’m so glad you enjoyed it!☺️

Hi Christy - Great tutorial. I find these side by side color comparisons so helpful. I am always amazed at the differences in the Copic grey families.If I had to pick a favorite, I might go with the "T" elephant, but they are all adorable and I could see the value of choosing the shade based on overall card composition. I like that you're interspersing these tip videos with your card videos. Wishing you and your family a. Blessed Easter.

[@christygetscrafty]

Thank you so much for that feedback! I really do appreciate it. I’m so glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks so much for watching!☺️

[@marzs1214]

Wonderfully informative video. Thanks for doing this. It is quite helpful. I love them all!!

[@christygetscrafty]

You are so welcome! Thank you so much for watching!😊

[@cathyb2281]

Great tutorial, I love seeing all the elephants side by side so very helpful. I had no idea how many different ways there was to color them. I probably gravitate towards the gray ones tfs

[@christygetscrafty]

Aw, well I’m glad it was helpful to you to see them all side by side. I was really hoping people would find value in it, so I’m glad that seems to be the case. Thanks so much for watching!😊

[@gogo.nobl3]

Really do enjoy this type of content, Christy! Another great video! 🤩

[@christygetscrafty]

That’s great to know! Thanks for the feedback.☺️

I’m just starting to learn using Copics (got a bunch for Christmas & more since) ……thank u from the bottom of my heart for making these. I’d appreciate more in future as well. I absolutely love how u color & have been watching ur videos for a few years. Thank u for sharing ur talents w/ us. Take care….😉🥰🤩

[@christygetscrafty]

Aw, well I am so happy that you found value in this video! That means a lot. So glad I could help out in any way!☺️

[@micpurple]

Hi Christy, Thanks for another great colouring tutorial! Recently, I saw an elephant coloured in shades of purple! I love them all! I find your colouring combinations very helpful! My own skills have improved since I found your channel! Happy Easter🐣 😊

[@christygetscrafty]

Purple would be so cute!💜 I hadn’t thought of that, but I can see that being really pretty. And I’m thrilled that my videos have been helping you improve your coloring skills! That’s the best compliment!🥰

[@CraftyAuntNan]

Thank you! I’m just starting to learn how to color so I really appreciate the tutorial!!

[@christygetscrafty]

I’m so glad it was helpful to you!☺️

[@simplebeez_creations]

Great video! I love the simplicity of it, thank you.

[@christygetscrafty]

I’m so glad you enjoyed it!😊

[@beaudoin1987]

This was great @christy! Thanks for showing the comparison. I am blessed to have a full set of Copics. I normally use the Ws when I color elephants. I like both the T and N options that you shared. Keep inspiring us!

[@christygetscrafty]

Aw, that’s amazing! Enjoy that collection! Thanks so much for your sweet words!😊

[@karengerek643]

Happy Friday, Christy. I saw the title pop up and said, "oh my, gotta see that". OOOh, we are up to the T's - never seen an elephant colored with T's before. WOW, that's pretty. Now this is interesting - using the E70's. Oh gosh, he's cute too. This was brilliant on your part putting them all side by side to see the tonal differences. I for one, LOVE THIS!! My eye is immediately drawn to the N's and then the E70's. Thanks for doing this color comparison. Have a lovely Easter. Be well -

[@christygetscrafty]

That’s wonderful feedback, thank you Karen! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the video! I hope you and the grands all have a very happy and joyous Easter!🐣

[@karengerek643]

@@christygetscrafty We are almost ready to leave to say "goodbye" and take their Easter baskets over to get one more kiss and hug from them. They leave early tomorrow morning for their trip to Florida with our DIL's family. There's going to be 11 of them staying in the house they rented so I'm sure they are going to have a BLAST! However, (drumroll) on Easter our youngest that came back in October from Arizona is bringing a young man that she's "been seeing and talking to" for dinner. She thinks its going to be easier to introduce him to the rest of our family without her brother and kids - HAH - I laugh at that one! But, we are excited to meet him and we'll see what her BIL has to say since he's a bit protective of her as well as her sister is. Even Grams is going to meet him at the same time - this is a new one including Grams. I think it is going to be interesting to say the least, but I'm sure he's nice or she wouldn't be bringing him. Happy Easter, don't eat too much and enjoy family.

[@reallycrazy4paper]

Great tutorial Christy. I don’t have A favorite, as I like them all. I will refer to this video when I finally get around to playing with my elephants, no mojo right now. Hugs.

[@christygetscrafty]

I hope you get your mojo back soon, Julie! It’s so hard to create when you’re feeling uninspired. Thinking of you and sending hugs! 🤗

[@kimcreate1]

Thank you for this tutorial. I was wondering how to color elephants. I only have the warm and cool grays but considering buying either the toner or N’s.

[@christygetscrafty]

I’m glad you found this helpful! I only had the warm and cool for such a long time! But I’m glad I added in the others eventually though.😊

[@gabbyblanchette]

Wow! You have a lot of copics! 😮

[@christygetscrafty]

Yep! I’ve been collecting them for twelve years.🙂

[@deborahcartwright1604]

Thank you for the great tutorial!

[@christygetscrafty]

I’m so happy you found it helpful!☺️

[@stampinwithsafia]

Loved this video and I like the N greys the best!

[@christygetscrafty]

The Ns are fun! I think I use the Ns and the Ts the most now. I’m so glad I ended up getting them!🤍

[@butterflykady]

I loved this video! I was just coloring the Elephant Parade stamp set this week. I really like all of the shades, and I think the color choice would just depend on the scene I’m creating, or papers I need to match. I appreciate your coloring tips, and I find your videos very helpful! Thank you!

[@christygetscrafty]

Yes, I completely agree! It’s definitely nice to tailor the coloring to the rest of the card. Thanks so much for watching!😀

[@madelinelittman1863]

Thanks for the comparison. I think I might need to get those toner gray markers. That was my favorite color combo.

[@christygetscrafty]

I’m so happy it was helpful to you to see them side by side.🙂

[@LatonkaLady]

Christy, thanks again for another Master Class in Copic Coloring! You are truly an amazing artist and educator and your delivery is mesmerizing Who would have thought that video on 5 grey combos would be a must see but again your pleasant manner and vast knowledge kept me glued to the video from beginning to end! A rare talent girl! Happy Easter to you and yours!

[@christygetscrafty]

You are so sweet! Thank you for those very kind and encouraging words. I can’t even express how much they mean to me.🥰 Have a wonderful Easter!

[@ginagibson8600]

Thank you for making and sharing this video. 😊 Most of the markers I've chose to buy are after watching your videos. All of the elephants look great, so I can't choose a favorite. Lol Shared to my Christy board.

[@christygetscrafty]

That makes me really happy to know I’ve helped you build up your collection of markers and hopefully your confidence in coloring too! Thanks so much for watching!😀

[@lindailey2225]

Thanks Christy for the grey tutorial! I may head to the art store tomorrow for the Ts. I just finished coloring some baby bunnies from Trinity stamps and did some in greys and some in browns. I can see that my alcohol marker coloring has improved from watching you. Just watched your daffodil card and I already had pieces cutout but not put together. I used light coral in the middle of the flowers. I need to get at least one card together for a birthday next week. Have a wonderful Easter. 🙏🏻✝️🌼🌷

[@christygetscrafty]

How fun that you have an art store near you where you can pick up new Copics! That must be so fun. I’m so glad you enjoyed both of today’s videos! I bet the coral color in the center of the daffodils is super pretty! Happy Easter!🐣

[@debbiewaksmonski4100]

This too was extremely helpful. I love elephants! This video made me think I might need to start out with n's, and definitely some e's. I am wondering if you could show us some other critter combinations? I know I can go back and watch multiple card videos, and I do that, I love that I can do that. But having the comparisons, is an amazing resource when trying to decide which markers to buy. I know I have a lot of foxes in my stamps, as well as bears, squirrels and bunnies. If you could do a comparison video of one of those I would be eternally grateful. Thank you for this series. ❤

[@christygetscrafty]

Yes, I do plan to do more of the critter comparison videos! Foxes are coming soon!☺️

[@isabellebaudin5240]

Thank you for this very useful video ! I am creating my Copic’s collection little by little and I was wondering what kind of grey the T were. And I do love this combo ! I think it’s the most natural. Thanks again 🫶🏻!

[@christygetscrafty]

You are so welcome! I know it can be overwhelming when you are building your collection to know what marker shades to invest in, so I’m glad this was helpful!😀

[@TheLovelyrosepetal]

I love this color combo chart! It is so useful and very helpful. Your coloring is amazing and I love watching you color them. I think it's great to have them side-by-side like that. I don't know which one is my favorite, I love them all. I usually color elephants with the warm grays but I have also colored them with the cool gray's, depending on the look I want, so I probably gravitate more towards the warm gray one but looking at them, all, makes me love each one. I wouldn't have thought to use the E70's and I was wondering what colors you would use for the last elephant. I love it and will have to use it some time. I also like white elephants, what would you use to portray a white one? I usually use the W2 or W1 and then the W0 and W00 to finish the shading and fade into white with the colorless blender. My daughter colored one a light blue and I rather liked it so have done a similar one. Anyways, great video and I love the content. Thank you for sharing your talents and creativity with us. You are such a great instructor and I appreciate all the work you put into your channel. Have a wonderful weekend. Big hugs!

[@christygetscrafty]

Ooh! I didn’t think of a white elephant! That would be fun. Yes, the shades you mentioned would look nice for that. Probably any of the lightest grays would work, depending on what tone you wanted the shadows to be. I almost added in a blue or a pink elephant too, but I wasn’t sure if people would be interested in that. But I think either would be fun, especially for baby cards. Have a fantastic weekend, my friend! Happy Easter!🐣

[@christinegehlbach208]

Hi Christy! Thanks for posting another great video that is super helpful! Can I ask where you got the coloring chart you are using? I’d like to give that a try as well as those cute elephants.

[@christygetscrafty]

I’m so glad you enjoyed it! I downloaded the color chart from the official Copic website years ago. I’m not sure if they still have it on there. If you can’t find one, let me know. I may still have a link.🙂

[@lindamitchell3871]

Thank you so much for showing us these different colors to use. So very very helpful. I was wondering what tips are you using and where do you get them? I’m trying to use Copic markers and I’m not having very much luck.

[@christygetscrafty]

Hi Linda! Glad you enjoyed the video! I just use the nibs that come on all Copic sketch markers. Though I almost never use the chisel end, just the super tip brush nib. I’m sorry you’re not having much luck! Maybe check out my Copic Favorites playlist. I have videos on everything from what paper and inks to use, to how to blend, which colors to use together, and how to refill and clean your markers. Hopefully those tips will help you get better results!😊
