Copic Markers 72-Piece Set A

Markers are astronomically priced considering they won’t last forever. They are a good product but not as easy to blend as they are portrayed to be. Will definitely need to buy additional markers to fill in the hues and shades between the color palette to blend more subtly. Overall, quality markers if you can invest.

I’ve been pining for these for years now; as a professional illustrator myself, I’d customarily divvy away from marker usage in favor of Prisma color pencils to achieve my desired look/effect. But I when I originally came across these, I thought they may be a game -changer, but put off buying then due to the expense. But I finally took the leap, and my god, they were better than I thought they’d be. Mind you, I fast-purchased these and didn’t realize that this set does not come with the brush-ended tips like I thought; I didn’t notice until afterwards. But I decided to give it a chance anyways; I really liked the color palette in this set over the one that does come with brush-ended tips in Set B. This set comes with broad-tip, and fine-tip, and I have to say I think that really worked out for me in the end. My work is very detail-oriented, so that makes the process much easier for me than a brush-tip would. I also purchased a smaller set (COPIC Ciao: Skin Tones) from a different vendor, which do come in brush-tips, so I do have variety and exposure to both experiences. Some might find it more difficult to blend with the fine-tips, but I personally found that I feel like I have more control blending with them. Brush-nibs would probably be a better blending tool for larger areas on a sheet of paper, but I find the broad-tips work fine for those situations as well (despite unpopular belief LOL).Definitely a dream-come true to be able to get these; the quality of my art is cleaner, and gets done faster as well! Plus, one of my favorite illustrators (Amanda Olleander) uses this set as well, I came to notice, and that makes my rash decision to get this set all the better to me!

Considerations aside - these are the BEST marker sets you can purchase and for best results I find the combined use with the Copic paper makes for a better image - Like any of you reading the reviews I was concerned about the purchase of these due to the initial expense. My daughter is heavily into graphic art and had seen these used by professionals. She is due to start her A-Levels and wanted to support her work going forward so I took the plunge. The expense is justified these are defiantly not for people to scribble with they are a professional tool and I would recommended that anyone considering purchasing these ensure this is suitable for their intended medium before proceeding. However it is worth noting for the more serious user that like any valued tool this is an investment and it should be recognised that these are refillable and reusable with replacement nibs available etc - knowing that these will have a service life of several years does dull the pain of the initial outlay.
