Original Copic Markers 48-Pieces Basic Set in Box (Special package) Review

[toc]

Original Copic Markers 48-Pieces Basic Set in Box (Special package) is good enough to be a decent alternative to digital drawing. One of the key features that make me love these markers is that they blend colors rather than overlapping them; that means that you won’t see the overlapping lines of two or more different colors. The four types of interchangeable nibs make Copic markers extremely versatile.

Our Evaluation

Yeah, we all know that their cost isn’t the lowest. They are refillable, though. Many professional artists use the same set of Copic markers for many years. These copy markers are made in Japan, so no wonder why they are premium quality.

Talking about Japan, many popular manga artists in Japan use Copic markers. These markers offer way more features than most of the other alternatives. Let’s take Prismacolor as an example. I’m not saying that Prismacolor are worse, but their smaller color choice, bad odor and the way that they cannot be refilled explain why many people switch to Copic markers.
