TRYING PROFESSIONAL MARKERS! | First Impressions | Using Copic Sketch Markers for the First Time

I remember the first time I got alcohol based markers, I was young and had just saved 60 dollars to buy prismas. After badgering my mom about it we finally went to micheals. I got the colors I wanted after looking at that section for longer then I would have liked to admit and rung up my products. Unfortunately, the markers all together, though 1 dollar cheaper than copics was over my 60 dollar limit. My mom... not being a very supportive with my art at the time was prepared to throw the typical “oh well, I guess it didn’t work out, let’s go home” when the cashier (a lovely university art student) decided to pull a 180 on my mom and give me a 50% off on my markers.

Long story short, when I was young and bought those markers I wasn’t serious about art, I was still playing it off as a hobby I did on my free time. Yet finally having a piece of professional art material in my collection allowed me to start taking art seriously, those following years I took EVERY ART CLASS POSSIBLE in my pursuit to learn. I improved drastically. I am now planning to perhaps major in one of the visual arts, yet to be decided.

The act of kindness from a person more experienced than me gave me the push I needed and if I could meet that person who gave me the discount (rather it was out of pity or realization that I was a simple child who just wanted to start doing art and they related to me) I’d give them a hug and a thank you.

Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

Edit: Hey, just wanted to come in here real quick and say that this story is super old. It was old even when I originally posted it. Fun fact, I still have the original 8 prisma color markers in my collection years later. Much appreciation for all the sweet words, advice, and engagement. My younger self would’ve been very happy seeing y’all’s kindness!

I "spooked" up my channel art for October! What do you think?

6:19 the sketch reminds me of the BRATZ dolls from the early 2000s! I used to have so many and they all had a set of bell bottoms!

I treat my copics like my children 😂

They’re so expensive but so worth it and now I’m like a protective parent 😂

Rin: I’ve only used cheap knock off versions
Ohuhu: thanks.

I found a copic on my bus and loved it but I was driving to school and dropped it, after school I pulled up and ran it over, I ligit cried over a marker

[SoCraftastic]

I can't get enough of the pastel colors. They are magical to me. Also, bellbottom pants are so underrated. Your character is rocking them! ^-^

[SuperRaedizzle]

For me, as someone who loves copic and loves the brush nib...I like ohuhu a little bit more!! I think the price better and you have a bit more control of the formula! :)

[madmouse]

"wow"
Owen Wilson, is that you? XD

Rin: I always bought cheap knock off versions.

Ohuhu: Am I a joke to you.

For larger areas, Copic not only has an airbrush system available (I've never, personally, used it) as well as markers called Copic "WIDE" markers which are basically a giant chisel nib (I also don't use them that much).

If you want to cover a larger area with the Copic Sketch markers, I suggest using circular motions to fill an area in... and make sure you have the ink refill lol.

I’m really glad I found someone that hadn’t used copic markers before reviewing them and giving them a “fake” review. Thank you for the honest look on them :)

[FilipOutOfNowhere]

Da Queen of cheap art supply getting copics? Is this the end of the world?

PS: That girl looks like she is the dancing queen, young and sweet, only seventeen....

[chalkydusty]

Me: about to comment how I’m too broke for comics and getting some would be a dream

* remembers my sister got me the skin tone Coptic ciao pack *

Me: begins crying over how grateful I am and how much I love my sister


Using those markers for the first time was so difficult yet so life changing :, )

I love you Sachelys
