Copic Sketch 6pc set, Skin Tone (Discontinued)

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.

At first I thought I was losing my mind buying these pricy markers for a 10yr old but they have really brought her art to life. It was a good choice. When she said Mommie I want the Copic flesh tone markers I had no idea what she was talking about but shes the artist and she knows what she want. And her art says it all..

Expensive marvels would recommend them for children must take good care of them and keep the On or they dry out like any other marker on the market the only reason I give these such high stars is because the skin tones are good

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

I bought these for my brother as a birthday gift because he runs a small art business. He was very happy to receive these in the mail. The brand really holds up to its rep. My coworkers, as well, are avid artists and swear by these markers. BUY. THESE. MARKERS.

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.

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

My teenager uses these. She bought them to use for skin tones. A little pricey, but hopefully will last a long time.

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.

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.
