#Tips for using copics/alcohol markers?

Anyone who has more experience with copics?I'm trying to replicate the style Adam Hughes has for shading characters

I do digital and traditional art, and found no success with either. The colors I choose are either too contrasting, and no sense of transition, or it just ends up looking like the figure I'm coloring on has very, very gray skin.

I watched and studied a few of his work and he only uses 3 colors, that being for flat color, midtone, and shadows (he also does highlights by using either a white coloring pencil or just not coloring a certain area)

I dont have any traditonal work done yet with the copics but i think my main problem is I dont have a good grasp of which shades of gray or blue to choose for the base color, mid tones, and shadows
