Copic markers


#1

Hi, before i spend a lot of money can someone explain the difference between the copic original and copic sketch markers ? which set would be more suitable for rendering machines and battle scenes ?


#2

mmm…I have the same question…listen Hys, do u know any online art shop in uk that ship worldwide? i can’t find copic markers…here is like Carthage :slight_smile: a desert for artist material…

i havnt even looked properly for uk stores, i was recommended them by someone i know and just went straight to the copic site and wasnt sure about the difference between the sets so i posted here, looks like even if i find out what set to get there is a mission on the horizon to get any ! (doh)

I don’t use the markers myself, but I get my Copic MultiLiners from Cult Pens in the Uk (they also sell the full range of markers). Cult Pens are very reliable and ship internationally. I can’t recommend them enough…

i guess the multi liners would be the third set , what are the multiliners useful for ?


#6

Thx monsterboy…unfortunately they don’t have in store, the type of copic marker that i’m looking for…“Wide Marker” :frowning: but i see tons of very intersting stuff in…mmmm

The Sketch markers have a long tapered brush tip on one end. It’s replaceable, but you can’t use that tip on the original marker because the body shape is different.

The multiliners have a thin tip similar to a Rapidograph good for making thin even lines without much variation in the width.

Line art and technical drawing. The line width does vary slightly according to pressure, ideal for outlining comic art and especially manga. They are popular with mangaka…
