ARE COPICS THAT EXPENSIVE?!

*Backs slides away from Ipad*

I THINK ILL BE FINE WITH OHUHU!

[jasminelowry]

In my opinion, I think the copic looks more realistic and the ohuhu looks more cartoony

[randomperson-koxp]

Lesson learned: cheap or expensive markers doesnt matter as long as youre good at drawing

Update: For Ohulu, the largest set is now (July 2022) 216 markers. Includes Greyscale, Skin tones & Pastels. Comes with 1 blender. Now with brush tips as well! Also, Brush tips are reversible so you get double the life of the nib. Also, to refill, just purchase either the Copic or Touch refills as your markers dry. Same with the tips. That way, you get cheap, but GREAT markers in Ohuhu, and then can slowly refill markers, as needed to make the financial pinch spread over a longer period. I don't love it when people say 'I would recommend Ohuhu for beginners because of XYZ.' I am a professional graphic designer - I elect Ohuhu EVERYTIME. No question. I make more profit by charging the same for my artworks, with way cheaper art material (markers). Also, once an Ohulu pen runs dry, and I reink it with copic ink, the client then has the benefit of the more 'expensive' ink used on their commission (although, they would never, ever notice either way). Also, I am quite confident the Ohulu will bring out refill eventually as they are dominating the market. I see also that Copic is starting to copy some of the Ohulu marketing strategies - Copics are the industry standard, but they clearly feel threatened by the much, MUCH cheaper Ohulu markers.

If you are watching in 2019 or later Ohuhu markets have made a brush and chisel tip end!!! (On Amazon is where I saw them)

SHADING GOLD WITH GREEN?!?! Oh my gosh. A revelation! Leaving this comment so hopefully I remember to try it some day.

I love her mentioning the scarf, not only is it beautiful it's been a big thing in the black/African American community not only to protect our hair, but to add color and style. Love the variety Rin keep it up! 💕💕

I know nobody will probably be reading this at this point, but I just wanted to summarise my opinion on the differences.

While Copic markers in this specific video are duller, the brand does offer brighter, more vivid colors. Ohuhu (from what I’ve seen and heard, I don’t own them yet) doesn’t have many pastel or duller colors. Of course, price is definitely a point to consider, but as Rin said, Copic does have refills and a wider variety of colors.

Ohuh is better for anime drawings copic is good for realistic drawing

[lizalaine]

honestly i feel the ohuhu looks better, but that’s my preference

[lailas-in-space]

8:16 it sounds like she is rapping lololol

[TheWilderCat]

Important note for those of you trying to decide which to buy: Ohuhu has released markers with a brush nib since this video.

[leesamhargreaves]

Copic: looks warm
Ohuhu: looks brillant

Both are really good!

[Tridnt]

As a self taught artist I always follow the motto that a artist can use any tool, doesnt matter if its Copic or Ohuhu or sharpie or Crayola. Its the artist that makes the art.

Youtube: *recommends me this*
Rin: *uses the old ohuhus*

Me: *Stares at my Ohuhu brushmarkers*

The racial representation on this channel is EVERYTHING. I love that you use darker skin tones and textured hair as often as you do. It’s really an inspiration. A lot of times, people shy away from drawing POC because of how the skin comes out. However, this really encourages me to try out some darker skin tones

[turtledumpa]

I like the Ohuhu markers because they look more like a warm tone and I like drawing with the warm colors

[charlottesomething]

The copic markers have the dark look, but for people you draw anime/any cartoony style, I recommend ohuhu

[annemere]

I think that no matter what products you use for your drawings (either cheap ones or expensive ones), if you’re talented you’re going to do an excellent job at the end.

In no case is this going to be a hate comment, I just want to point out on one specific recommendation.
Use the feathering technique while working with brush nibs. It will save you ink, make things even less streaky, give a nicer smoother blending and your brush nib will stay alive and in a way better shape for way longer.
Doing circular motions might give you a more "Doodely" feeling but in the long run it will only make you pay for you "mistakes". (New nibs/markers, refills, streaking etc.)
If you don't agree or don't mind what I wrote, completely feel free to do it your way. In no way I'm trying to judge you.
Hope you're having a nice day.

Btw. The copics come in roughly 356 colours :)
