I've seen ppl who do shit with copic markers, and create jaw droppers with stuff like bic or sharpies. Its not the tool, its the artist. Ask any art student

WTF ... of course, if you do such SIMPLE drawing like your exemple, you can use any markers. But when you made complex, big, detailed illustrations with characters, including face, expressions, landscape, scenery, Copics will make the difference.

So yes, when you're an artist, you can work with anything but still: if you have quality products, it really makes the difference

The only down side that I've found with Sharpie/Bic are they are very dark...BUT I love using them or shadows. They are amazing for that! They tend to feather a bit more than copic/prisma/etc but I love that affect it makes everything looks so much softer.

If you can afford the "pro" art markers good for you, but the "office supply" ones work just as well as long as you know how to use them....

And they are the best inking pens I have ever had, and i have used copic multiliners....

If you can afford copics thats fine. If you can only afford Sharpies thats great too. But remember, there is no magic tool. The reason copics are used is because of the variety in colors. Im an art student and I use all sorts of supplies. From Prismacolor to crayola. Heck, I even use white-put to add extreme highlights. Its all in how you use what you have.

@insertcooluser Mostly Proffsionell artdesigners use copic =)

I didn't buy copics for the ink, i bought it for the great tip, which allows you to do amazingly good strokes, especially if you do hair.

Fine video though.

Frankly, I appreciate someone taking the time to do this type of video. But seriously, ppl come on, the pronunciation correction of copic (caw-pic v. co-pic) and the nit-picking of the blending technique used is just so wrong. Especially since the video is 3 y/o. Art is a subjective (meaning, its based/influenced on personal tastes, feeling or opinion) ppl are as diverse & different as the various mediums, techniques & styles used by the artist.

What is with mean Copic people? If Copics are so great, why are they so easily offended when someone not using copics does a great job? There is something way wrong with that. And if you are a Copic purist, why are you watching a sharpie/bic tutorial?? Just so you can make mean remarks? Lady, you did a great job with your sharpie and bic markers and clarified many times you couldn't take the time you normally would because of filming time and you had to rush. It's sad that mean people wo

[TheItsme55]

nice drawing. but i hate it when the artist shades everything and it doesn't blend well. this one doesn't blend well

[ChronicKid561]

this technique is called blending, it can be done with almost all markers. but of course you do get what you pay for.
