Copic markers have definitely stolen my heart as my all time favorite medium and brand of medium. Copics do cost a little more to get started with, BUT unlike other alcohol markers, they are REFILLABLE! So, a Copic Sketch costs 7.99 for a single, and a Copic Ciao costs 5.99 for a single (both retail values). Of course, the price for each goes way down when you buy a larger pack. For beginners, I wholeheartedly recommend getting either the Copic Ciao 72 A or Copic Ciao 72 B set on Amazon, where they will be significantly cheaper. Copic Ciaos are the same exact quality as regular Skecth but, they're skinnier and hold less ink = cheaper! Anyway, to buy the singles at retail value is between 5.99 and 7.99, so let's say 6 and 8.

Another comparable marker to the Sketch, in size would be the Prismacolor. Those retail at 6.99. But like most alcohol markers, are not refillable. With a Copic, you would spend the price on the marker, and then the refill at 5.99. That could be between 12 and 14 dollars. BUT each ink refill can refill a Copic Sketch 13 times, and a Copic Ciao a whopping 17 times! So basically, an average of 13 dollars for 14 to 18 markers. Whereas with others, it would be the "lower" start price of 6.99 times 13 for about $91. So yes, Copics cost more to start with, but are wayyy more value to you in the long run. Now, I love Prismacolors and still own some, but the value lies with Copic. I also live for the quality and look of Copics. They are unlike any other alcohol marker out there! But I will say, if they just cost too much for you, then you can start with a Copic Ciao set from Amazon which is way cheaper than retail OR try this other brand called Art n' Fly. They don't have as many colors but still a great collection of around 96 (or a little more), and they are also refillable!!! I recently got their new 12 pack of skin tones and I will say, these are some quality markers. They are actually pretty similar to Copics! Art n' Fly has some quality markers for less, and I love their skin tone 12 pack. So, I would say these are perfect if you aren't sure or aren't able to start off with Copic! I hope this helps!

Of course, the ultimate Marker set. They are amazing. I would make sure that you are interested in doing a very specific type of coloring. If you do a lot of detail work or something like that you may be interested in purchasing their fine liner tips that they have available but that can be kind of difficult to manage with the cost and everything. I do a lot of really fine detailed work where I use a lot of very fine tip pens Sharpies things like that and it is a little bit more difficult to use the copics the way that they're supposed to be used. Maybe is this will give me a chance to Branch out and try some other styles and advancement. But overall they are beautiful they are layered they are everything I was looking for with the exception of the fine liner tip

I really can’t afford a set of Copic markers right now but I did get the flesh tones as I can’t find any other markers that mimic what skin really does look like tone wise. I’m 44 and getting back into drawing, fashion..people, etc. Copic truly are amazing and in this case you do get what you pay for. Settling if you have to fine but if you can get them, get them. I only wish there was one lighter shade for the deeper tones to add to the pack. Overall, love Copic and the variety of shades and mostly performance is amazing.

These allow use of very fine details in intricate drawings. My granddaughter uses to draw beautiful anime work. They are extremely expensive but helpful is they are refillable. Since my granddaughter is heavily into art investing in these was a great idea. It keeps her interested and looking to do new things. #copic #artwork #drawings #awards #anime
i only have bought 2 copic markers in a green shade and i would say it was PRICY. i bought one marker and it was already 10 bucks! i liked the brush nip of it, it was very smooth and soft to color/write with it. the ink was very up notch in quality and blended very well with the other marker i had. and to mention, i like how copic has refillables for their markers which is cheaper than the actual marker. you can refill the marker up to 6-10 times. i also like how copic has a variety of colors to choose from, i wish i had more money to purchase them! the only downside to these markers is the price ;-(.
THIS WAS MY FIRST TIME USUNG COPIC MARKERS AND WHAT A DIFFERENCE IT MADE IN MY CARD AND RAGS GIFTS THIS YEAR!!! I’m will never go back to others and the price was great on sale very affordable to me! This marker makes your crafts look like beautiful paintings. Thanks really fast shipping as well. ! Happy holidays
Copic markers are amazing. I never wanted them pay the price they cost. However I am looking at it as an investment and they are refillable. You can definitely tell a difference between Copic and other brands.
Great quality markers! They blend nicely and the colors are bright and beautiful.My only complain is that the gray color was completely dry when I tried to use it, not cool at all for the price. Hoping the rest of the set is in good condition.
I love my pro markers but wanted to try the fabled copic system so I waited and got 60 pens on the Black Friday deals.After two days of constant drawing and inner peace I have come to a simple conclusion. Excellent but not perfect.I think the Winsor and Newton pro markers have nicer ink, more vibrant colours and a little thicker but the copic brush tips are just fabulous and the range of different colours is mind blowing.So, although I definitely will not be abandoning my beloved pro markers, I will be buying into more Copic products and I really want to try out the sketch pens to use aside my Ciao pens and my pro markers.So as I said in my last review...” anyone wanna buy a house. “ 🙂
I’ve written about these pens before on here so I won’t go on to much.Discovered alcohol markers just over a year ago and I’m a huge fan of pro markers.I bought some copic Ciao to bridge the gaps in W and N’s colour palette and they are fabulous. Both brands compliment each other and can be used together with perfect results.I don’t really think that they are any better than promarker or brushmarker in finish or ability to layer or blend and I also think in some cases that Promarker ink is more vibrant and solid in appearance but the brush tips on the Ciao markers are fabulous and also these can be refilled and nibs replaced. Big plus’s.Expensive initially but if you use them a lot they aren’t when you consider the amount of refills you get from a relatively ... MoreI’ve written about these pens before on here so I won’t go on to much.Discovered alcohol markers just over a year ago and I’m a huge fan of pro markers.I bought some copic Ciao to bridge the gaps in W and N’s colour palette and they are fabulous.

Big plus’s.Expensive initially but if you use them a lot they aren’t when you consider the amount of refills you get from a relatively cheap bottle of ink. These are for life where as promarkers have to be bought again and again.So given a choice between either brand of these superb pens, if you can afford it I would advise.......BUY BOTH.
