sure. A lot of people try to get an even coat by only doing one stroke over the area. Then they have to put more color next to it without overlapping strokes, or they get darker areas. What I do, and I think a lot of other Copic users do, is color quickly and lay down a lot of color. It will be darker, so you're really gonna use a lot of your lighter colors, but that should get you a nice even coat. Make sure you continue before the ink dries, because if it dries then you'll get blotches.

And the more colors you put in a single area, the more even it will look. I generally have 4-5 colors in any given area.

Also, you should put a piece of paper under the one you're coloring on because it will bleed through. I color in my sketchbook, so I don't want patches of color on the next page ^_^

Another thing, if you use the official Copic marker paper, stop. I use the paper in my sketchbook. It's a little heavier than regular paper, but it bleed less. The thing about the official paper is that it doesn't bleed at all, so no matter what you do, you will get blotches.

Hope it helps you.
