Copic Sketch 6pc set, Skin Tone (Discontinued)

Wanted to try out copic markers since I heard they were 1 of the best. I was impressed. Expensive yet fantastic markers.

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.

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 markers are awesome, but not really worth the price since you do have to buy refills and they run out of ink quickly. These arnt that great of skin tones, ive found better ones with pro makers thats half the price. But over all they do color really well. Easy to blend! They work perfect with pro markers and prisma. Wouldnt buy them again since i could buy cheaper makers that work EXACTLY the same. It is a good starter kit though. Pros -brush tip is good for hair details. -brush tip helps a lot with tight areas and helps blend -they come with refills -durable -work well with other markers cons -expensive (there are cheap alt. that work the same) -doesnt hold much ink

LOVED these alcohol markers. Theyre so easy to use. You could not believe how rich these colors look when applying them to your artworks. You can really tell these are quality markers by how clean the colors leave the paper. If youre looking forward to improving your art style THESE are the markers for you.

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 :)

These are just quick sketches from my sketchbook that I used these markers for the skin. Using them on better paper would be better. But I love these so much. Would buy again and recommend. I was worried about buying through Amazon but my local art store sell this for triple the price and I’m glad I went through here

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.

Love the colors and the tops.

My daughter had been asking for Copic markers forever and especially these shading ones....so I decided to spring for the 6 piece set. They did take a couple of weeks to get here but were well worth it. The level of happiness from my daughter spoke volumes...she is exceptionally happy with them, they do what she wanted them to do and what was advertised and they are very high quality. They were worth the wait.
