Copic Sketch Alcohol Markers 6pc Set, Portrait

This is my first set of Copics, and I am hooked. I have a set of Ohuhu, and they're just meh, and I read that the Copic skin colours were really good, so I decided to purchase these. I love the brush, it's soft and smooth, and I feel like the cap colour is very representative of the actual colour you'll get. I still swatch, but it's not nearly as surprising as the Ohuhu. A full set of Copics isn't affordable for me right now, but I'll probably replace the Ohuhu with these as I need more, or go for these for additional colours. Super nice, and so far, seems worth the price tag.

A family member has adopted coloring as a hobby. She's used a wide range of markers, from Wish sets to more expensive options. She's said that there is a very big difference between the sets. Eventually she decided to try out the Copic markers, as those are said to be among the best brands. They just aren't particularly cheap. She got one and it's become one of her favorite markers. So of course I had to get her some for her birthday. I picked this set out because one of the biggest issues she's run into has been skin tones. Many sets will have colors that can be used in a pinch, but doesn't really match the skin tones you see in real life. She was overjoyed to receive this and used them same day. Of course this set can't match every possible skin tone you might see ever, but she was able to capture many of them much better than she did before. The marker quality was also very good. The ink flowed out evenly and she didn't have any splotches in her artwork - at least unless she wanted them to be there. This is a bit pricey, but I would recommend them if you are a professional artist or a more serious hobby colorist. If you're a bit more casual then you could probably stick to the cheaper stuff - those are still good. It's just that these are known as some of the best for a reason.

I have been wanting to own the Copic Sketch Earth Essentials 6-pack of markers for many months. Copics are pricey so $24.99 for six markers was a good deal to me and I bought the pack. The colors that are in the set are: B41 (powder blue), B45 (smoky blue), E34 (toast), E39 (leather), YG13 (chartreuse), and YG17 (green grass). B45 appears to be the juiciest marker from the packet and B41 feels less moist. So far I’ve been using the two blues the most and already I feel as if I will need a refill for B41 soon. In my non-professional opinion for people who are new to Copic markers: Copic markers are alcohol-based markers, which means you can blend the colors together without pilling the paper (unlike water-based markers). However this doesn’t mean you can blend any colors together. The starting point is the letter on the marker which indicates the color family. So colors in the same color family will blend well with other colors in the same family. However, if you have a very light color and wish to blend it with a very dark color I find I need a third or fourth marker in mid-tones to make the transition work. Two colors in the same family that are close together will blend without an additional mid-tone marker. For people who are curious about Copic markers or need help using them YouTube videos and online blogs are a great way to learn. Most of all you have to practice using them. As I said above, I’m not a professional artist so I do not have any plans to own all the markers and refills (there are 358 colors so no thank you). I plan before I buy new markers (and the corresponding refills). A new marker must complement the ones I already own and suit my level and style of coloring (I’m an amateur colorist), so too many colors will become overwhelming and frankly a waste of money. I love my Copics and if it wasn’t for these I would have to give up coloring. I started out coloring using coloring pencils but by wrist was in pain and then as I doing more coloring I developed a pain in my shoulder. I switched to Copic markers and the pain in my wrist and shoulder went away. So it’s all good. I bought my first Copic marker in December 2019 or January 2020. Now I own too many to count, plus I have the refills for all the markers I own. Buying Copics is like falling down a rabbit hole, once you’re in you’re in for a lifetime of expense, and your collection will breed like rabbits. Haha.

Despite what some say on here copics are some the best on the market they dry fast layout smoothly on proper paper usually the smoother vellum types are best. Price is rarely a relief with copics so don't expect it you could Wait till they go on sale which is not rare but very uncommon occurrence. The markers themselves are quite effective in color control and should not bleed on the page in my experience but if bleeding occurs it is not usually do to faulty product its most likely over filled with ink which can happen often to avoid this always test the pen on a separate piece of paper and bleed the extra ink out with simple random strokes until leaking stops. Overall these markers are easily the best but thats only one artists opinion.

great birthday gift for any family artist. my boyfriend and I met in art school and he's always wanted alcohol markers. You get what you pay for don't skimp! Copics are the best out there I've tried several cheaper versions to get buy with sketches but I only use copics on the final projects.

It got the job done.

I’ve heard nothing but good things about Copic markers for years, so I was genuinely excited to finally try the Copic Sketch Alcohol Markers (6 Color Dual set). Overall, the quality is definitely there — the ink is rich, blends beautifully, and the colors look exactly as you’d expect from a premium brand. That said, my very first use was a little rough. While pulling a clean line, the marker suddenly “dumped” ink at the tip and created a noticeable pool on the paper. There was no change in pressure or angle — it just happened out of nowhere and definitely caught me off guard. If this had been on a finished piece, it would’ve been frustrating. After that initial hiccup, the markers performed well and felt smooth and consistent, so I’m hoping it was just a one-off or something that happens when they’re brand new. These clearly aren’t beginner-cheap markers, and they do deliver professional results, but they do seem to have a bit of a learning curve and require a light, controlled hand. Great markers with excellent color and blendability, just be aware that they can be unforgiving if the ink decides to surge unexpectedly. Solid product overall, but not quite perfect out of the gate.

Copic alcohol markers are absolutely incredible! I recently got my hands on a couple sets of these markers and I couldn't be happier with the results. The color payoff is amazing and the blending capabilities are out of this world. Another standout feature of Copic markers is their longevity. These markers are refillable, which means you can simply replace the ink when it runs out. This not only saves you money in the long run but also reduces waste.

The package was delivered earlier than expected and the product wasn't damaged. The quality of the markers are impeccable and they are incredibly vibrant!
