Copic Markers

Playing With Copic Markers by MagaMerlina
 I have had these Copic Markers for a while but haven't use them much. I haven't work with any type of markers before and to be honest I don't quite know how to use them.
I have read a lot about how wonderful these Copic Markers are and seen great art journalers like Anna Denise and Kathrin Jebsen-Marwedel using them, so I decided to give them a try.
I started by doing a color chart (left) and coloring the little mandala ruberstamp on the right.
Then I colored the mandala (below) which a drew with a Copic Multiliner. 
Because these markers are alcohol based they bleed through the back of the page, I got the beautiful image (next page below). Then I added little details.
I love the bright vivid colors and the fact that the coloring is "even" with no lines.
I know there are lots of things you can do with them but I'm just a beginner. I will be playing with them and trying new things. Any suggestions?
