One of the most popular of the analog painting materials currently gaining a lot of attention are Copic alcohol markers. They're convenient and perfect for coloring books, and drawing cute and realistic illustrations in a wide range of styles. Although Copic markers are available in a wide range of colors, you can get a surprising amount of color out of just 20 markers, and this book will show you how! A basic understanding of color mixing is covered, as well as simple and more advanced techniques. Includes the following:

Chapter 1: Covers materials and basic techniques. Introduces 20 colors selected by considering the combination of mixed and heavy colors, why you can draw anything with only 20 colors, and more.

Chapter 2: Learn to draw apples, from simple to realistic, while learning about the procedure of applying gradation and recoating, as well as light and shadow.

Chapter 3: Draw tableware such as glassware and ceramics, starting with metal objects such as spoons, forks and knives. Learn to render the texture of the items, as well as the salad in the glass bowl, the tea poured into the glass, the honey in the glass container and the fried egg on the plate.

Chapter 4: Draw delicious sweets such as toast, pancakes and Mont Blanc. The procedure starts with an easy-to-understand undercoat, and then flat coats, gradation coats and recoats in the same manner.

Chapter 5: Learn the procedure for drawing characters, starting with the hair, skin and eyes. Also covers how to draw brilliant-cut jewels. 

An appendix includes line art of the illustrations used in the book, so you can copy them and use them for coloring practice. An explanation of how to draw frills on characters' clothing is included, as is a how-to of drawing brilliant-cut gemstones.
