Will ARTIST LOFT Markers blend with COPIC Markers - First Impressions

This is not a sponsored video. I went to Michael's, and I found that they have a large section of "Artist Loft Sketch Markers". They are alcohol based markers, and so one would assume that they are similar to Copic Sketch Markers, that are very popular, but also rather expensive.

I hoped that these markers would be comparable and compatible, with my Copic collection. Watch the video and judge for yourself, but from my experience these markers will not blend, with the more expensive Copic Markers.

I wish I'd watched this video before I bought the Artist Loft brand markers. The blending doesn't work, the tips fall apart, and the ink isn't very good quality unless you use the chisel tip. But even the chisel tip doesn't work well overall. Your video definitely cemented me trying to get my money back soon.

It hurts to see the pressure on the Copics..

I went to the store yesterday and got 40+ dollars worth of these, unable to afford copics. I have used them so much already, and nothing has happened. EXCEPT! My fav skin tone marker tip got a little um, weird. xD but besides that, I think these markers are perfect for people starting out, like me. I don't get why you people think they don't blend well. They blend beautifully for me. Now, this video was posted awhile ago and I dunno if they improved at all. But that's my imput.

Copic markers are a little too expensive for me to afford right now so I am using the Artists Loft markers and they work pretty good for me

after taking another view ...that's the first thing you bring up is the COUPONS .. smart man!!

I didn't have an issue with the artist loft brush nibs.

At some points your blending copic with copic and you said it's not blending so maybe or most likely your not doing it right

I just got the artist loft skintone set for christmas. I like the way they work on paper but they are pretty stiff. The pigments are also a little too different on paper than they are on the markers. The fairer skintones don’t really work together at all but I like the way the darker ones look together. Overall though, for the price, they’re not a bad marker. I’d still recommend copics if you can afford them.

I'm confused as to why your test is trying to cover it with copic markers. For a full review of them, test what they can do, don't test what the copics do.

The artists loft markers work fine for about a day or two, and then the brush tips completely fall apart. Definitely not worth it in the long run, I had to return all of my artists loft markers and exchange them for copics.

I got some artists loft markers for the 24 pack at Michaels the other day. They don’t blend that well also after one use one of my markers frayed a bit, they aren’t bad they good okay on the paper and I’d recommend if you have never used markers before or are just getting into them. 👍

The artist loft colorless blender sucks just saying. It just fades the color x10, doesn't spread the color around, basically ruins your drawing. Also the markers just don't blend as well as copics but it's a better alternative to them if that's all you can afford.

There is also 14 grams of ink in the artist loft markers where as the copic scetch markers usually have 13 grams. So you're getting one whole gram more of ink in artist loft. (and yes, i measured XD) Still would go for copics and if your invested in using them a lot then i would get refills. You can fill it 8-10 times and i found some refills for about 6 dollars so copics still are cheaper in the long run.

Why everyone said the ARTIST LOFT SKETCH MARKERS is not good 😱is that true ?? 🤤 i just got a artist loft sketch markers 3 day ago with 24 coulor 🤤 is that really bad?? 😟

[BananaPoodle]

I tried some and i didn’t like them that much 😕

[skape]

I got some Artist Loft markers recently. So far so good. I like the tips more than I like my Prisma color markers and the colors are mad decent. It is true tho about the blending - they suck for that, but the stuff I do doesn't require a lot of fades. Use the Michaels 50% coupon and em for the cheap. Great value in my opinion.

I have the artist loft and they are pretty nice(but the grey dries out fast)

[owenwilson]

I bought the artist loft sketch markers and they worked perfectly they haven’t slip or broken they haven’t even run out of ink yet, I’m not sure if where I live they’re different or what but that’s I’ll I have to say.

[bubleebuzz]

what are you doin' to dem copics!!

[bigfatbahamamamas]

You shouldn’t be so rough with the copics, the brush tip is fragile so have a lighter hand :)
