Copic Sketch 6pc set, Skin Tone (Discontinued)

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.

Being a newcomer to Copic markers, I wasnt entirely sure what to expect. Many artists I admire use Copics for coloring their drawings, so I decided to give them a shot. Needless to say, they fulfilled and even surpassed my expectations! Copic markers are often criticized for their high price tags, retailing from around five to eight USD, but upon receiving them, I understood why they retail at this price. They are incredibly high-quality markers, and some of the best for blending. Since Copics are alcohol-based, you are able to use them to layer your coloring more without worrying about tearing the paper. Personally, I much prefer the look of alcohol-based markers over other markers such as dye or water-based markers. The colors appear vibrant and beautiful on the page and compliment any drawing wonderfully. Copics, when used properly, should last you a fairly long time. Once the ink has run out, Copic offers replacement ink refillers which is a great alternative to being forced to buy many new markers. I have not yet had to refill my markers so I cant say how well this works from personal experience, but Ive heard from others that refilling Copics is an easy and rewarding process. There are a few things beginners like me should be wary of when using Copics, however. As with any other marker, there is always the possibility of smudging your lineart if youre like me and tend to ink a sketch before coloring it. This can also unfortunately apply to pencil eraser smudges; I have often had eraser smudges appear much more visibly on my coloring with them being near-impossible to remove. A great way to avoid this is photocopying a high-quality scan your lineart and instead coloring the scan to avoid the risk of messing up the original. If youre a beginner to using Copics, the skin tone pack is a great place to start your collection. If you tend to draw characters or portraits, skin tones will definitely be a necessity. This is where I started my Copic collection, and the high quality of the skin tone pack impressed me enough to add many more Copics to my collection since. In conclusion, if you have interest in finding a good marker, these are a great, albeit pricey choice. If youre on-the-fence about purchasing these markers, you might find it a better option to purchase one color individually to make sure you enjoy them before wasting your money on a product you dont enjoy. Many stores such as Micheals allow you to test the marker on a piece of scrap paper before buying it. If you do feel confident about buying these markers, however, I say go for it! Their high quality and long-lasting color is well worth the price.

My daughter is an artist and brush-tipped markers are her favorite. These retail for $8-$10 apiece at our local art supply store, so to get this many on-brand high-quality archival markers for this price is incredible. She draws with them every day. They blend beautifully and the colors are vibrant. Best of all: You can refill them! :-D

I love these pens, they are beautiful and work very very well. They bleed a little through paper (though I think its the paper I use them on) but work just as fantastic as any other copic pen (and all copic pens work wonderfully!). Definitely recommend these for those of you who want to add to their collection, or use some plesant tones for your artwork :)

Ive been wanting to buy these kind of markers for a while, and although I loved them there are times that when using the fine tip a ink drop will come down and ruin what I was working on, other than that theyre pretty legit.

They are grate but when I used the copper it leaked out everywhere messing up everything I thought it my fault at first thinking I pressed down to hard so I redone it and well the same thing happened again.. I’m honestly not so sure about the copper it might have been me doing something wrong but just a warning?.. (the other ones did amazingly)

The nibs are great, ink quality is too. I love the replaceable nibs and ink refills, has a great quality overall.

I love these set of colors. I’ve been looking for skin tones for so long and finally got a good variety. Came fast and were nice and pigmented.

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.

I love the colors and the blend-ability, but Im having issues with sometimes too much ink coming out of the brush tip. I am using blick markers as well as the copic, and I have much more control with the blick markers. But, I didnt have a way to purchase just the skin tones with the blick like I did with the copic.
