One ink container fills the marker for up to 12 times. The Classic markers are the original Copic markers, although they might not be the most popular ones. There are fewer options than what you get with the Sketch markers but you can easily blend shades to get the one you need.
There are certain shades that are unique to this line and that are not offered in the Ciao line. These markers offer nine different nib options. The Standard Fine tip is smaller and firmer for detailed work.
These markers are more versatile than any other markers offered by Copic. You can install nibs for calligraphy. The Sketch markers are bigger and have a square barrel. If you want to color big areas, then this is the marker for you.
They have a single coloring end with a large chisel tip. The Extra Broad nib is firmer and wider than any other option. There will be no overlapping which makes the color smoother. These markers come in 36 different shades. Artists need to combine these markers with other collections to create interesting drawings and illustrations. Kids and people with smaller hands find these markers difficult to hold and control.
You can also install an additional nib or broad calligraphy. The wider nib lays color quickly, but the markers can hold more ink than other option.
This is the perfect choice for an enthusiastic beginner. The set offers 12 shades that allow you to build your coloring arsenal. These markers provide smooth and vibrant colors that suit different kinds of illustrations, art, designs, and crafts. You can use the same marker for years. You can use the dual ends to highlight, color, and paint. The Ciao markers are circular and come in a plastic cover. But be careful when you place them on your desk as they might roll around.
The Basic Set is a good choice for teens and kids who want to start experimenting with markers. They feel quite comfortable to hold and are easy to maneuver. This set of 12 markers can help you start or add more options to your set. These two options allow you to alter between precision coloring and covering larger areas successfully.
You can also install the Medium Round nib or the AirBrush system. These markers are refillable and will last for years. You can always upgrade your collection by adding new shades to finish more drawings and illustrations.
You can also re-wet the ink and add more color or adjust your drawings. The chart below outlines what color family the letters represent. The colors shown below are by no means an accurate representation since the fluorescent family also has yellow, green, violet, etc. The first digit of the color code indicates the level of saturation. The numbers range from 0 to 9 where 0 indicates the highest level of saturated color available and 9 indicates a desaturated color.
Matching this number for different Copic markers will keep the blending group the same. The last number refers to the intensity or specific value of the color. The numbers also range from 0 to 9 where 0 indicates the lightest color and 9 indicates the darkest color available. If you desire highlights, choose a color where the last numbers range from For the best results when choosing colors to blend well, select ones where the last digit is within the digit range.
A colorless blender can also be used to help blend. Saturate your desired area with the colorless blender first.
This will result in a much smoother, blending effect due to the colorless blender ink moving the color on paper. Colorless blenders are great for adding highlights when you need to add lighter colors to a darker area.
Colorless blenders can also be used to fade an area. Make sure you try out the colorless blenders and the effects they can have on a particular color by testing them out on a different sheet of paper. You can also use colorless blenders if you color outside of the desired space by using the marker to push the color back into the right area.
If you repeat this step, the color will appear lighter and lighter. Listed below are all the great things you can do with a colorless blender: Check this guide out for detailed info on how to get all these results. As mentioned previously, Copic markers have this neat feature of having replaceable nibs.
Whenever they become too worn out or damaged, you can buy nibs to replace them. You can also change out nibs if you are looking for a different stroke line or weight when applying color. Not all of the types of nibs are available for each type of marker. The Copic Classic marker has the most options with 9 different nibs —brush, calligraphy 3mm and 5mm , round, soft broad, standard broad, semi broad, super fine, and standard fine.
The Copic Sketch marker has 3 different options —super brush, medium broad, and medium round. The Copic Ciao has the super brush and medium broad nibs as options. The Copic Wide also has 2 options —broad calligraphy and extra broad. To replace them, use a tweezer to gently pull out the existing nib by gripping firmly on the base. Use the tweezer to insert a new nib. The ink will start flowing through the nib by itself. Copic sells special tweezers that have small teeth on the end to help grip the nibs but a good sturdy flat tweezer should do the trick.
All Copic markers can be refilled. How long each bottle of ink will last will depend on the type of marker you are refilling. For one bottle of ink, the Classic markers can be refilled 9 times, Sketch refilled 12 times, Ciao refilled 15 times, and Wide refilled 7 times. Not only can they be refilled, but you can also create your own custom colors by mixing inks. They even sell empty markers to allow you to do this without using your existing markers. Copic markers can be refilled using 2 different methods, the booster method, and the drip method.
The drip method can be used for all marker types. Using the dropper on the bottle, drip ink on the nib while holding the angle of the marker. Let the drop be absorbed through the nib before adding the next drop. The ink will sit in the little circular notch until it absorbs through.
Another great feature of Copic markers is that they can also be used with an airbrush system. You can use your markers to color on various surfaces without worrying about causing any damage to your nibs. Copic has 3 different types of airbrushing systems available, all of which are lightweight and portable. However, if you want more info, Copic has a great brochure you should check out here. Like any art medium, Copic markers are going to work great on some papers and not so well on others.
On uncoated paper, Copic makers will feather pretty easily while coated papers will vary. Layers are a little more difficult to apply and stick. On vellum or tracing papers , the paper does not absorb the ink.
I love R29 with a fervor that would make a French floozie blush. How often do I use R29 in projects? Pretty is rarely useful. Notice that I keep saying that I have a large collection? Nor do I plan to buy them all. Unless they invent a B What were the very last markers on my purchase list my lowest priority? If you have the light reds, you can postpone RV pinks. I put off pinks for a loooooong time.
I was slow to get the 0 groups in each family, i. Anything that starts with a zero tends to be bright and artificial. I had all the yellow greens before I had many Gs.
I still choose YG over G most of the time. My N9 went missing over a year ago. You have to work it fast to make it blend.
G29 is only a smidgen darker and blends beautifully. Skip the R is the most useless color in the world, almost invisible to the naked eye. G, G, and G00 just look blue to me. I never use them. YR15 and Y38 are practically twins. Skip the YR15 until the end. I want to use the E90 series, but I never seem to find a use for it. YR82 has no natural blending partners. It sits there alone and sad. Beginner classes work best when you have the required supplies. My Great Marker Challenge list is a good all around list and at 42 markers, can be slowly collected.
