Copic Sketch 6pc set, Skin Tone (Discontinued)

High quality alcohol based brush tip markers and refillable. Much easier to blend than cheaper brands such as Ohuhu and Bianyo. Can blend with other brands of markers fairly well too, so works well to have the colors that you want refillable such as skin tones if youre a character artist. Picture is an artwork from the wife done with the Copics for skin and Ohuhu/Bianyo markers for the rest of the image.

I was so excited to find a set of markers that gave me some options for skin tones-- nothing is more frustrating than the lack of skin tone choices currently available! Reading up on copics, I noted that many people use layering techniques with this set to create additional tones; I havent yet tried that. These markers are incredibly smooth and easy for a novice to use. They do have a fairly strong odor akin to rubbing alcohol, so if you are sensitive, you may want to consider that.

Christmas came early! Daughter who is an AMAZING hyper realistic drawing has been coveting these markets. Her friend guided me through purchasing. Since expensive I wanted to get the right ones. She said the grey scale & flesh tones are staples. When my daughter opened the box she screamed and jumped back! She’s 19 years old for Christmas isn’t too “magical” ha ha. She cautiously asked “are these mine? I said it’s early, but yeah, they are yours I won’t make you wait until Christmas... them she ran off to her room where she stayed in an artistic bubble for days!

I am writing this on behalf of my little, 11 year old manga artist. Mom I must have these markers, you dont understand how important skin tone is to my drawing!!! So with a great deal of bargaining and extra chores(from the little artist) I made the purchase so we could have improved skin tone in all her pictures, then once again the world would be right:-) I have to say, with all sarcasm aside it really did make a difference in the color of the faces. I was impressed with the difference in these high end markers vs the ones she got in multipacks at wallmart. I ended up giving it 4 stars only because of the price.

These are great. One very bad thing... the first time I used one of the markers in this set, ink just spilled right out of the tip of the marker. I dont know how or what I did to cause it. That was annoying and felt extremely wasteful! The colors are great and they have great quality. For some reason, Copic Markers are just easier for me to control (keep in the lines and lay down exactly where I want it). Now two of these markers have leaked through the brush tip.

At first I thought I was losing my mind buying these pricy markers for a 10yr old but they have really brought her art to life. It was a good choice. When she said Mommie I want the Copic flesh tone markers I had no idea what she was talking about but shes the artist and she knows what she want. And her art says it all..

Best markers to use if you can afford them

If youre a fan of Copic markers, then you know these things are the best. My granddaughter loves them and uses them. She has a wish list for the next group at all times. This is a great starter collection because youll always need skin colors. Theyre not cheap, but they are worth the extra because they last longer. Be sure and store them horizontally.

They are excellent markers. I still feel they are to expensive though. But, love the quality.
