Which Copic Markers to Buy First and Corona Speedpaint

Shell Presto talks about which Copic markers she first bought and which colors you should consider buying when starting out. She also discusses whether or not you should buy Copic or other alcohol-based markers and her experience with Prismacolors. All this is discussed over a Copic marker speedpaint of Corona from her and her husband, Michael A. DiBaggio's, book series East End Irregulars. https://www.ascensionepoch.com/wordpress/novels/afterdark.html
