[toc]
Original Copic Markers 48-Pieces Basic Set in Box (Special package)Â 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 wonât 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 isnât 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. Letâs take Prismacolor as an example. Iâm 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.
Pros and Cons
Many people think that Copic markers are meant for professionals only. Thatâs not true at all; the two professionalâ aspects of Copic markers are their price and the color quality they deliver. Copic markers are easy to use. You donât need to have the full set of colors in order to enjoy using them. In fact, this particular set of 48 colors is enough both for beginners and experts. Letâs not forget that Copic marker colors can be blended in order to achieve the desired shades and semi-tones.
Another great feature Copic markers have is that their ink dries fast on the paper but doesnât dry out while inside the barrel. The barrels have a great design as well. Theyâre easy to hold and their special shape prevents them from rolling off your desk.
