I was on the edge of my seat as you went through those greens... ...would there be a sap green?

The numbers have a meaning on the markers. For example.. The letters tell what color family the markers are in RV - Red Violet R - Red YR - Yellow Red Y - Yellow YG - Yellow Green G - Green BG - Blue Green B - Blue BV -Blue Violet V - Violet E - Earth N - Neutral Grey T - Toner Grey C - Cool Grey W - Warm Grey And there is a small selection of fluorescent markers Then the two (sometimes more) numbers at the end.. First Number: Indicates the saturation of the marker. 0 is the most saturated, 9 is least saturated. Second number: The brightness number. The lightest colors would have a 0 (some even have 2-4 0s indicating extremely light shades - Ex: E0000, BV000) and 9 indicates the darkest color. I hope this helps you guys understand the numbering system a little better!

Congratulations on adding to your Copics collection!! You got some seriosuly cute color combinations. I'm still waiting on the day I splurge. Haha

MY SOCKS NEVER MATCH EITHER 😂 so cool getting to see you experience copics for the first time!! I have a hard time spending money on them so I still have a tiny collection and I’m afraid to use them 😬

Steph: it’s the perfect brown colour. Adam: it’s okaaaa- Steph: *noitsperfect*

*CROCKERY BLUE*

Steph: Lets save up for the indoor color blind glasses! Adam: Yeah! 1 day later Steph:* Orders a million copics*

Your bed comforter is SO CUTE.

“Next time we get copic markers I'll try to find a limo” - Adam 😂

Here's how the copic color code system works, so you can be fluent in copic. The letters at the beginning correspond to the color family. R = Red, YR = Yellow-Red, Y = Yellow, YG = Yellow-Green, etc. The first number corresponds to the color's saturation. The lower the numbers(0,1,2, etc.), will be more saturated. As opposed to higher numbers(7,8,9,etc.), which are more desaturated. The second number corresponds to the marker's brightness. The lower the number, the lighter it will be. The higher the number, the darker it will be. Sometimes if the marker is very pastel/bright, there will be multiple zeros. (V000, RV0000, etc.) I hope that helped!

May I suggest an e08 in Copic ciao? It has very reddy undertones and in my opinion much closer to terracotta as I have that ohuhu marker too and I just swatches them together and cannot tell the difference. Good luck though finding your perfect marker

Just for anyone who doesn't know... a port jackson is a very cute little shark with really weird teeth designed for grinding the shells off shellfish and lives around the southern waters of Australia. We see them when we go diving.

“Is there something fancy. . . In there” -Adam, doodledate 2018,May 26

Grandma steph is my favorite

I'm surprised Steph didn't draw herself or Adam for the cute things in the room.... Also, don't worry Steph, my hands shake a lot too. Taking photos is kinda hard though.

Ohh!!! And I just tested now another one called Brick Brown that seems to be the same colour as terracota!!!!! I think so!

E-18 and E-29 are pretty similar to the terracota one, I have them here

I thought the special marker was gonna be like a sap green, or a colorless blender lol😂

You ordered green? Green? GREEN? Where's Steph and what did you do with her?

Oh a Copic color that would be pretty close to Terra Cotta, is E08 Brown (I know, the name is very boring) Also, where did you get your copics, I'm dying to know. Well, I hope that helped you Steph on your quest to find a new terra cotta❤

Doodle date is STEPPING UP ... copic markers and..... SITTING ON THE FLOOR???

About the wobbly hands, Charles Shultz, the illustrator that created Charly Brown and the Peanuts comics, had wobbly hands near the end of career, but his artwork is still so good, and SO loved! I think your wobbliness is nothing to be ashamed of. ❤️

I have Copics and Promarkers because I love them both lol. The Copic numbering system can help you to choose blending colours. For example colours from 0000-09 or 20-29 go together but it's harder to blend if there is a gap more than 3 although you can use the tip to tip method to get a better blend. Tip number two (I only learnt this one this week on one of the official Copic channels) is called the 10+2 method where you pick a colour then add 12 to it to pick your next blending colour, eg start with 13 then the next colour would be 25 the 37. Also did you know you can mix and match your markers? You don't exclusively have to use Copics with Copics, you can use them with your Ohuhus and Promarkers and whichever other markers you have :) Oh I just remembered one more tip, using greys under your colours to add shadows when you don't have blending families. It's best to swatch test this before you do it as some work better with warm greys some cool and then you need to pick the best darkness level as well. I can see you are joining the dark side with your marker addiction... Welcome lol!

YOU’RE SUCH A GRANDMA - Adam 2018

Your videos have been so nice lately, with the new camera and just everything looks so good!!

I think the color brown is an almost perfect match to the terra cotta color. It's much redder than the other copics you tried and I think this one is worth a shot. If it helps you find it easier, the copic number for it is E03

There's a pretty similar color in Touch markers! Leather Brown (BR112) is very close to Ohuhu Terracotta

1. I like the small changes in the video editing. I like the old style too, but new is always nice. good work. 2. Steph - I remember when you mentioned your shakey hand... I never noticed until you pointed it out. You gotta roll with the abilites you got, and think you do good at doing just that.

Copics are so expensive that if I had any I would be too scared to use them 😂💙

I just started watching this channel about a week ago and I can't stop binge watching their videos! Their relationship is so wholesome and they've inspired me to start drawing again. Also, love me some crockery blue!!

The feeling when you see 19 minutes - of doodledate!! 😍

You should do a drawing spin the bottle. What ever the bottle is pointing to you have to draw. That would be fun.

THE ULTIMATE TEST.

The two letters in the beginning of the code tell you the color and the number tells you saturation. Y stands for yellow, r for red, b for blue, e for brown earth tones etc. The higher the number the more saturated it is. Hope this helps :)

Steph you should make sticker sets!!!

2:33 I have over 100 copics! And yes, the codes do make sense to me haahah The ciao markers are actually cheaper because they hold less ink than the sketch/original markers

I loved seeing Steph’s swatching sped up! Does Adam do most of the editing? The editing is awesome! Copics are very good at blending. Is there a way to mix some of the colours you have to make something similar to your Terracotta? Adam should have drawn Pot Jarkson...

I'd like to formally apologize for all the times I've gotten Port Jackson's name wrong. If it makes him feel any better, he may call me Paul from now on.

i swear, every time adam calls steph hun, my heart melts a bit. its too cute.

E09, or Burnt Sienna, might be like terra-cotta.

50% off copics?!?! Woah

I found a copic color ,that is pretty similar to the Terra Cotta Uhuhu 😊 I think ,that E19 is really close to Terra Cotta 😊 And sorry if my english is bad 😂 I am german 😂😂😂

All those copic markers!! :O so jealous!! I think the strange code names on the markers are named by the pigment used to create the colours - like watercolours. So that in theory like with watercolours you can use the same pigment code no matter the brand to find the same colour as the water colour brands use different names for the same colour. R = red, Y = yellow, V = violet, G = green etc. E is probably for earth, I guess? XD and then YR would mean a yellow red or YG is yellow green etc. hope that helps with the “logic” behind the names :)

*steph and adam talks about shakey hands* Me: **thinks about Dr. Stranger**

Omg I saw the word Copic in the notification and died. Then I came back to life to watch the video.

15:19 steph's speech here is what I love about Doodle Date. If you have a tremor, if you are colorblind, if you deal with any other limitations, that doesn't mean you can't be an artist. I want to show this to everyone who wants to be an artist but is unsure of themselves.

OH MY GOSH GUYS! please do a three marker challenge with all your copics!! AH

The way Copic codes work are: (Let's use B29 - Ultramarine) B = The Colour range (Blue) 2 = Blending Group (If you want to blend the markers with other colours, try to blend them with colours on the same blending group (Every colour family has them (They go from 0 - 9))) 9 = The Intensity of the colour (With blue it is like how blue it is, bigger numbers meaning it's bluer) This Works with any Copic marker Type or Colour. HELLO FROM THE SOUTH-WEST OF ENGLAND AS WELL! 😂

You’re baaaaaaaaaacckkkk!! I’m so happy auugh. ❤️❤️❤️

I really loved how Adam's warrior turned out and Steph, these wobbly lines are actually pretty cool! I can't believe how consistent they are either! You're awesome.

I love how supportive you are to each other and how that extends to your fans/viewers It's just so sweet

The F A N C Y markers....

You finally got Copics! You're true KZfaq artists now :) Keep up the great artwork!

You guys should totally make a colouring book

LIGHT CROCKERY BLUE IS MY FAVORITE COPIC COLOR AND I SCREAMED WHEN I HEARD THAT IT'S THE COLOR THAT INSPIRED YOU TO INVEST IN COPICS

Beds are very FANCY BOIS.

Congratulations on your new copic markers

16:00 those are couple goals of how you guys inspire each other one way or another

Since you like drawing armour, Adam, I recommend learning to blend the markers to get that smooth metallic shine. With brush nibs it's easier than bullet nibs, so now is the time. Basically, just quickly colour on top of the previous layer before it has dried, and go back and forth with the previous marker and the next one. I think I remember Steph having a colourless blender there somewhere, too, to get those light colour fade into nothing.

Nice floor

I love your videos so much!

You should try ‘brown’ if it helps the number is E08, it’s a bit more red than dark suntan ^-^ hope this helps!

I don't know if you will see my twitter post, so I will also share my findings here~ I think E07 Light Mahogany might be a better match to Ohuhu's terracotta. I do not own that Ohuhu marker; however, when comparing E07 to E13, E07 is just a smidgen darker and more red in color. It might not be an exact match, but maybe closer?

Yas adam there was something fancy in the bag and i just woke up and i live in england so i live in the same timeline as you and yes a bed is way fancier than a floor

You guys should make a colouring book!! Itd be sooooo cool and loads of people will buy it (me definately included!!)

There is something so very relaxing about this video. I'm loving all the new you threw into it as well with the time lapse, different angles, and the beautiful quick zooms ❤️

I LOVE Copics! And yes, the codes have a meaning. For example, YR means Yellow Red, so orange. :) There’s also a chart you get where you can tick off which colours you have/want and it has all the codes next to the colours so they’re easier to search for online and in stores.

I am thinking about getting my own set, from money I have been saving up. So, I am super glad you did this video. I would love to know what you guys think of them after doing some more artwork. Thanks Steph, and Adam!

I love this channel so much! The content( the type of videos you make) the humor, and just simply y'all's personality! Oh and did I mention your beautiful, Steph, ( I dunno your name, I'm sorry) much love to this channel! 😄😄

the robot code tells you a bunch about the marker!! the letter is the color family (b=blue, bg=blue green, etc) and then the numbers tell you about the blending group and saturation. the blending group number helps you figure out which colors will blend well together

I have a really bad tremor in my hand as well, and you have really inspired me to keep going with my art. I've recently gotten into watercolors because of your videos, and they're super forgiving of my tremor! Thank you for the inspiration and your general good moods!

The Bubble wrap is fancy😂

Hey can you guys try blick studio brush markers? I heard they were really cheap copic alternatives.

"I typically pick the best ones with the cutest names!" ... "we got yellowish green." 😂😂😂 idk why but I was laughing at that for like 5 minutes.

The colour coding is quite simple when one first gets into it; the letters are for the colours used like Y are Yellow, R are Red, B are blue and so on, and when there's combination like YR it's Yellow Red which is obviously orangesque colours ! There are some sites online that goes deeper into the coding of the pens that are quite easy to understand

I'm so excited for you! And... a little jealous.

And Steph, there are so many copic markers there’s almost certainly one like your terracotta

I love seeing people swatch their supplies. It's so calm and satisfying

Im a avid copic user, primarily because I get majority of my collection as gifts or they were on sale xD. But yea, the numbers and letters are a lot more helpful for when you need to get specific replacements and when you need to find colors in the same color family. Very helpful but also happy you guys are trying copics out!

Adam has all these bright colors ........ draws in gray scale 😂😂

Yes!You deserved this guys.We all love you and support you.I would love some Copics but I have some Ohuhu's now ;)💗❤️💛💚💙💜Edit:Yes,I have terracotta.

Hey Steph, my hands shake really bad too especially when I draw. I always use really thick lines in my art to cover it up, and even though I like my style, it's sometimes disappointing that I can't draw with thin lines. It is encouraging to hear other artists talk about having the same problem, though, so thanks for being real with us. Love your videos. You two are so fun. Have a nice day.

I know that color, you love it because the pigment its super pure, vibrant and consistent (you cant see little white spots when you use it), im pretty sure that is E07 light Mahogany or E19 Redwood (its the same pigment but with a slightly different heat treatment). In the color chart of copic looks pretty dull but its almost like a burnt sienna in person.

HAPPY SATURDAY! I love using copics, even though they're so expensive. But I really hope you enjoy using yours!!

Yaya you guys have join the COPIC team and they look so awesome

The style of this video is so reminiscent of the older videos on this channel, what a throwback

The editing on this video is amazing. Great job! The search for terracotta begins!!!!

Do you guys remember Sap Green?

Yay! I know this video will be great 👍🏼

Store your markers on their sides! It keeps them from having one side that's drier than the other, so instead of having a crusty chisel tip and a super liquidy brush nib, the ink is more evenly distributed. I didn't know about the circle thing, though! I gotta try that!

really enjoyed the time lapsing and ~*aesthetic*~ shots of the copics w/ chill music- it made the video feel really polished and just a little extra than usual, I’d love to see more in the future!

I only have one copic marker and I have no idea where it came from

EVERY TIME YOU UPLOAD ITS ALWAYS 12AM HERE IN THE GREAT LAND OF AUSTRALIA. Don't question the fact i'm awake at 12am.

Adam's drawing turned out really cool and Steph's drawings were super cute! I'm glad we got to see some more Port Jackson, and in Steph's cute style too! :3

the codes are abbreviations for the colors ie R=red and YR= orange etc. i dont really use markers frequently but i recently bought six copics. The reason i know this is through watching plenty of people coloring with them and noticing a pattern of abbreviations

*gasp* fancay

There's a letraset primaries called TERRACOTTA.

To get the most of your copics, you should really be using a good marker paper. Mix media paper soaks the ink too quickly, where as a marker paper will stay wet, and let you blend the colors and create a smooth gradient. This blending is what makes copics the best markers

My best friend just got a bunch of Copics and she’s so excited. She’s been drawing and colouring with them from the minute she opened them. She has definitely experimented more with the Copics then she has with any other markers/coloured pencils. I mean, she did love my markers, but I mean, Copics are the _best_ markers ever.
