Copic Sketch 6pc set, Skin Tone (Discontinued)

I love the colors and the blend-ability, but Im having issues with sometimes too much ink coming out of the brush tip. I am using blick markers as well as the copic, and I have much more control with the blick markers. But, I didnt have a way to purchase just the skin tones with the blick like I did with the copic.

When I received my marker set, I noticed immediately that their plastic sleeve was scuffed up and slightly dirty looking. I did a swatch test and small drawing using each marker and one of them was pretty dry. It very much appeared as if I had gotten a used set of markers, but I cant be sure. Copic is a good brand despite being (in my opinion) very overpriced, but I would not buy from this seller again.

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

Easy to use. My son loves these but good lord they are expensive!!!! I honestly don’t understand the difference between these and other cheaper brands that do the same thing.

LOVE COPICS! I purchased this set to try out and Im so glad I got started with these. They blend really well and the fact they are refillable makes them a great value. A lot of people ask me what paper I use when I color with them and I use Strathmore Bristol Paper (smooth type). I now own over 200 of these markers, so its safe to say I enjoyed this purchase. I now use some other colors mixed in with these for skin tones, but if youre just starting out, this is a great set to play with.

I really love these markers , because they have the potential to make any sketch into a vivid colorful masterpiece on your art. I did buy the 24 color set and 12 set, but it is tedious to keep combining colors to make skin color on my art. Although some parts of the markers came little on the dry side on the paint brush side (minus one star) you learn how to use the flat headed brush with practice. I kind wish they came out perfect, because you are paying almost 35 bucks for 6 markers. Its on the expensive side but you are paying for quality markers that will hopefully last a long while. Will buy more sets in the future!

I know these are a big deal, so I figured they would be great. But using them was still a pleasant surprise! Theyre expensive (although theyre thankfully half the price they would have cost if I didnt wait to buy them online...), so I bought a six pack instead of a big pack, focusing instead on skin colors, which are the most important colors to me. It was a great decision, because these markers are wonderful for shading and blending. Also, when I first got into using art markers, I bought the slightly cheaper, but still excellent alternative of Prismacolors, because I heard you have to be fast when coloring with Copics, since going over a dried color will make that one area darker in an uneven manner. However, this warning is actually more true for Prismacolors than it is for Copics! But I will always love both. Art is awesome. :o)

Wow! Id always known Copics were amazing, and Id always known Copics were expensive but Ive never actually held one and smoothed it across the paper to see what it could do. Because man, these are worth it! They blend beautifully, the colors match their caps and the ink is amazing. Of course, it seeps through the paper, but its alcohol markers, cmon! When I first got them out they were a little watery, but after about a minute all was fine. They are also SUPER expensive (obviously) and although they are incredible they arent worth the price. Id bring them down maybe about $10. Still, these are amazing and if you can your hands on them you should. Dont judge a marker until youve held it in your hand and used it. Incredible!

Excellent variety of flesh tones and the paint brush nub glides across the page like youre actually painting. Only problem I encountered was a wee bit of bleeding. Im a design student and I bought these to use with my Fashionary sketch notebook. I do a lot quick fashion sketches in there and I needed some markers to quickly render my figures, you know, make them a little more realistic looking. But when I went to use these for the very first time, they completely bled through the page and almost ruined some designs I had on the back. I will admit though that the front of the page, the side of the page that was actually colored on, did look nice. You just pay for it on the other side. So, if youre looking to use this product in conjunction with Fashionary notebooks youd be wise to put your spending money elsewhere. However, if you plan on using a thicker grade of paper, Itll most likely get the job done (Confession #2: Havent tried it with thicker paper, yet. But Ive got plans to). Happy Rendering!!

Love the colors and the tops.
