Copics - My Most Used Colors - Beginner Recommendations

[KissMyChristin]

The 24 manga set has 3 of each color plus what I guess would be skin colors. It's 125$ at dick blick. I would say that and then maybe two more colors for hair(like a brown or red brown since it seems alot of manga has color hair ie pink blue ext. And a colorless blender.

were did u buy them (im in australia)

[PrairiePaperandInk]

@4455chrissy you will have to look for a local dealer as Copic retailers cannot ship outside their country/territory (with the exception of US retailers being able to ship to Canada - but they can't ship overseas).

@4455chrissy

I've been buying mine from ebay seller septemberplayground. I buy the sketch markers as they come in more colours than the ciao. As I also live is AUS I can vouch for the seller shipping here.

I'm pretty sure Micheals carries them :)

[PrairiePaperandInk]

@prendergastc83 They started carrying them recently tho not all stores have them yet - and the supply is limited (I heard 60 colors).

[lovlyanime]

wow, 200 markers... thats like over a 1000$ of marker only... wow

My favortis its G12 / YG 25 and BG49 / RV12  /.. How much coast Copic in USA?

[F2E002]

If I am getting 10 Ciao Copic Markers,which colours should I get? I can't really make up my mind. ><

[PrairiePaperandInk]

@F2E002 It's up to you. I don't like telling people what to buy as it's a personal decision. Everyone has differnt taste when it comes to color.

I buy mine from Creative Play Stamps

They're only $4.87 each for Sketch and orders over $50 get free shipping plus a free gift! They have EVERYTHING for paper crafters!!!

And no, I don't work for them - just a huge fan, lol!

soooo expensive :( gotta spend money in cans

[birthofmumble]

hi, whats the difference between the sketch markers and the double ended markers. (price, quality, nib etc)

[PrairiePaperandInk]

All Copics are double-ended and all are of the same quality.

The price varies between the three types (CIAO, Sketch and Original) as they contain different amounts of ink.

Sketch and CIAO's have the same nibs on them, the Original has a narrower fine-tipped nib rather than the super-brush nib the other two have. They all have a chisel nib.

@PrairiePaperandInk

ok thanks so much!! :)

do you think it would be more worth to invest in the CIAO copics than the sketch copics?

[DemonedAway]

@birthofmumble If you're starting out Ciaos are a better choice. The only differences between Sketch and Ciao is that they Sketches hold more ink and have more colours (more than 300 while Ciao have 144). They're also more expensive than Ciao because of this.
