copic marker question

[haruya-san]

Let's see... The Copic Sketch and Copic Ciao have brush tip. <33 I love the brush tip! ;D I suggest you try out a Copic Original&Copic Sketch/Ciao to see whether you like the brush tip or not. I LOVE IT! If you plan on buying the one with brush tip, just get the Ciao. It's the cheaper version. Yes, it carries less ink than the Sketch, but it's cheaper... &you can just buy refills! All Copics are refillable! You can buy a Ciao Set and since Ciao doesn't come in all the colors, you can just buy additional Copic Original or Copic Sketch markers to get other colors... Copic Ciao is good to start with. (: Copic Sketch and Copic Original have non-round shapes.. Which means they are roll-proof &they will not roll off your table when you work... Copic Ciao has a round barrel and will roll though... Original&Sketch can be used for the Airbrush system... If you're not really into airbrush go for Ciao! I've tried all three and they're great. Though, I love the brush tip... so Sketch/Ciao for me! (:

It's hard to find a local store that sells them... or at least in my area. I only know of two places that sell the Copics in my area. One of the stores sells their Copic Sketch markers for $5~$6. Their Copic Original maybe more. The other store, d**k Blick sells their Sketch for $4.87 and Copic Original for $5.79. They don't sell the Ciao.. Here's a reaallly great site if you want to buy Copics: www.carpediemstore.com It's the cheapest website I've seen! Copic Sketch are $3.95 ea, Copic Ciao are $2.69 ea and Copic Originals are $4.25.
