    Oh about what size paper would you recommend the original copy be done on?

    • http://copicmarker.com/ Copic Marker

      The winner will be asked to resubmit an image 48” x 104.09” at 200 dpi, so it depends a bit on the resolution of your scanner. For some, that may mean 11″ wide paper is enough. The final print size will be 89” x 193.”

      Oh, alrighty. Thanks for the reply!
      One more question, when you’re putting in the items you used to create the image, do you list for example the names of all the colors you used and which type of marker?

      However you’d like to list it is fine! We’d just like to see that Copic products were incorporated in some way, whether it’s a pen, marker, etc. If you keep track of the colors and are able to list them, that would be fantastic info to have if you happen to win and we’re posting about your entry – but it won’t hurt your chances if you don’t have that specific of info :)
