Copic Sketch 6pc set, Skin Tone (Discontinued)

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.

I bought these for my roommate for her birthday, since shes an aspiring comic artist, and she was very happy with them! Copic markers might be a little more expensive than other brands, such as Prismacolor, but there really is no comparison. The colors are crisp and striking and the markers dont leave any awkward looking streaks on the paper like other colors can. Theyre definitely worth the extra money. This particular set give a wide range of natural skin tones, from a pale rosy pink to a deep brown, and the variety of colors makes for great shading on skin tones as well. I wish there were a few more dark skin tones, as there were really only two that looked suitable as a base tone for black skin, but for the number of markers in the pack it really was a great value with a wide range of colors.

I am still learning how to blend with copic markers. These skintones one blend so well together and are the main pigmentation of the skin. I like these because you can add reds and purples from other sets to build up the skin. Highly recommended for any artist!

After getting a nice 32 pc copic set and seeing there werent a lot of browns/tans, I knew I was going to be hurting for drawing characters of different ethnicities. This set has a good basic variety of tones, and though Id still like to collect more, I can do a lot with these.

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.

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!

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

These are the real deal. If you want quality and performance from your markers, look no further. Yes, they are an expensive initial investment however, they are also made to last a lifetime with refillable ink and replacement nibs. That’s important to consider. If you are going to spend time creating your artwork, it only makes sense to use to the best quality markers. Copics are the industry standard.

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.
