Copic Sketch 6pc set, Skin Tone (Discontinued)

These markers are AMAZING. I love the brush tips. I personally think they are better than Ohuhu’s, but are too pricey. I was just really disappointed that 2 of the markers were the wrong color. I received E000 instead of E13 and E93 rather than R20. I’m still upset but the markers are really great, just wish they sent the right products.

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.

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 are nice markers. We bought them for our daughter because they were on sale for quite a discount. Normally her art budget means we get her Ohuhu or some other off brand alcohol marker. Decided to let her try these since they were the same price. She said she likes them and they are of equal quality to the cheaper ones we typically get her. If they are on sale we would consider them again, but they arent nice enough to merit the full price tag otherwise.

Honestly, I have never used Copic Markers before but the texture and color it has on paper is extremely smooth. It is dual-tipped, dries quickly and has an accurate and great color but unfortunately bleeds through the paper (at least the one I used which was supposed to be bleed-proof paper). The product was shipped on time (brand new and in the original packaging) and I was very happy when I used them for the first time since the Copic Markers had great reviews and was highly recommended. I attached a picture of the picture I drew and colored with E00 (Skin White). cookie-hakase is my DeviantArt username.

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.

Daughter wanted these for anime drawing. I was hesitant because of price but they are the thing that’s brought her the most joy this year. And her drawing has gotten so much better because she wants to practice all the time.

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.

My grandson enjoyed using this product for realistic drawing.

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!
