Copic Sketch 6pc set, Skin Tone (Discontinued)

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!

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 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

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 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 :)

My daughter is an artist and brush-tipped markers are her favorite. These retail for $8-$10 apiece at our local art supply store, so to get this many on-brand high-quality archival markers for this price is incredible. She draws with them every day. They blend beautifully and the colors are vibrant. Best of all: You can refill them! :-D

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.

Just like painting but with markers . They blend and build up super good

Once you use copics you won’t want to go back to any other alcohol marker these are amazing blending is immaculate 100% recommend

A repeat buyer. My niece is quite the artist and Amazon’s prices on Copic are the best out there and every Christmas I buy more from her. They are always brand new and in great condition.
