Refilling Copic Sketch Markers and custom colors

Sorry this isnt a makeup video for those that subscribe to my channel as a beauty channel. This was requested by a few people to see how i refill my copic markers and also create custom colors. Really easy to do, but good information to know if you're new to copics!

They are about the same as the marker depending on where you shop. Best bet is oozak.com. be sure to create a login for the best deals. Even though the refill seems price, you are talking 10 PLUS refills from the one reinker.

Sorry I missed the question about how many drops... I don't usually wait until the marker is very dry because I like my markers juicy. Best bet is to give it maybe 8 to start, give it a second and then add a few, wait a second, add a few...until the tip is wet looking.

when u refill,how many drops of various ink do u put into the marker?

[makeupartistkatie]

@TheEnchantedBanana it really depends on how dry the marker is. If you take the cap off both ends while you refill you will see the brush tip end start to get very wet. Thats when you'll filled it with enough ink! :D

Do you have to buy copic refills? I know that prismacolors you can just add ibenzyol alcohol into the marker after you take out the nib and it works-does it work for copics too?

When my copics run out of ink i just rack some more and throw my old ones away :)

for me, the shizzle tip won't come off, and if I pull harder, I'm scared I'll break it...

how long does  it last before you refill a new marker?

After having been trained by Graydon Parrish, Master of American Realism, on how to make perfect color EVERYTIME with my oil paints, I wondered if there were a way to take the ink and mix our own colors, since there are values missing in the Copic system. I didn't want to just keep layering. Once you mix your own colors, you hate to rely on someone else. It's fun to create and tube your oils, so why not with this? I LOVE WHAT YOU JUST DID!!! I have given up oils, due to the cost factor.

@Roughcuts11 You don't need to buy a new pen, just buy a new nib and your good to go! Hope I helped.

This is a great tutorial! Thank you!

I have a question though, my copic marker's cap fell off in my bag while I was traveling and it dried up. Would it work again if I refilled the ink or would you recommend me buying a new pen?
