So with this information in mind, you can see why it may not be necessary to buy the entire collection and that perhaps 150 or even 200 colors would allow you an excellent collection capable of creating any genre of art. Storing them in the horizontal position means the ink settles touching both tips helping to keep them moist and from drying out. The reason is, should the marker be placed in a jar vertically, the ink will run to one end of the barrel, saturating which ever tip is facing south and drying out the other tip now void of ink. Because of the ink inside the barrel and the fact the markers have a tip on both end, it is better to store the markers horizontally as opposed to vertically say in a jar. The reason this is so much desirable the Copic Ciao is due the way in which alcohol markers should be stored. On the very end of the lid, there is the pigment name as well as the Copic Code stamped in clear print. They are not colored in their entirety as with the Ciao, only the end of them sport the color. Both lids on the Copic Sketch are colored on the very ends the same color of the marker pigment. I think the lids are perhaps one of the reasons the Copic Sketch is a slightly more desirable marker to artists and I will explain this. Because of this problem, so many companies have tried to manufacture Copic alternatives at much cheaper cost, some companies have come very close to the Copic standard, one or two in my opinion have either achieve exactly or better than the Copic standard and then there are others that just should not even be spoken about in the same conversation. The main issue has always been cost and of course the vast range of Copic markers available. So I thought that as everyone knows, Copic markers are pretty much the industry standard for alcohol markers, I felt it was important to include a review on my YouTube channel and here on the website, so that artists can reference between my other marker reviews and this Copic one.Īs I mentioned, the Copic marker system has pretty much been the goto marker for illustrators all over the world and as a result many artists have wanted to purchase Copics and try for themselves and type of amazing art that can be created, using markers.
So I originally shelved the idea and just got on with other reviews, however, lately I have received a few marker sets from other companies to review and I have already a few marker reviews uploaded.
Quite a lot of people said yes and a few said no, for the same reasons I was initially hesitant, as so many artists have completed Copic Marker Reviews. Copic Markers And How To Use The Copic Color Code SystemĪ short while ago I asked the question on social media, “If anyone wanted me to do a Copic Marker review?”.
