Copic Sketch 6pc set, Skin Tone (Discontinued)

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

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.

LOVE COPICS! I purchased this set to try out and Im so glad I got started with these. They blend really well and the fact they are refillable makes them a great value. A lot of people ask me what paper I use when I color with them and I use Strathmore Bristol Paper (smooth type). I now own over 200 of these markers, so its safe to say I enjoyed this purchase. I now use some other colors mixed in with these for skin tones, but if youre just starting out, this is a great set to play with.

Best markers to use if you can afford them

I loved how these markers blended! Its amazing. Im an artist and ive been using ohuhu (which is cheaper but works about the same honestly), and other alcohol markers. While some of those are great alternatives, I finally gave in and bought these. Absolutely worth it! Its everything I couldve ever asked for. Im definitely going to buy a larger pack with more colors.

Copic markers are amazing. They blend so much better, have better tips, have replaceable tips, and are refillable. The Sketch markers are better than the other three lines because they store more ink than the Ciao, have the brush tip the Classics dont, have an oval shape that cuts down on hand cramps, and have the color code on the lids (you would not believe how useful this is). If youre considering Sketch or Ciao, I highly recommend Sketch. This skin tone set is very good to have. Having varied tones in your images makes it more interesting and inclusive. If you draw in a more realistic manner, youll need the contrast that you can get from this kit. I also use the makers from this set in pretty much any drawing where I need brown shades. I get a whole lot of use out of this and I know you will too!

Gifted this to my daughter and she is so pleased with it! She has been using them for two months and has nothing g negative to say. She loved this brand for her sketching, which she’s been doing for years now.

These are the only brand of skin tone markers I could find and Im not sure I need any others. As the titles says the colors are wonderful. There are two notes buyers should be aware of before purchase, however. -The markers bleed through common paper. I have not found a type of paper these markers will not bleed through and there is lateral bleed as well. You may have to practice just lightly caressing the paper so the bleed spreads to the areas you want to color. -For the most part the colors will dry to an even hue. For the most part. I noticed with the lighter skin tone that when I went to touch up an area I missed after it had dried, it darkened the color where the old and new marker strokes overlapped.

These were a gift to my son. He thoroughly enjoys using them, the way they flow, blendability, and I think that because they are reusable, they are a good value for the money.
