lawl, I have about 100 copics, I adore them to death, they are my favorite medium!
I live in the US, but I got a set A for about $300. C h e a p .
I got it from here:
http://www.howtodrawmanga.com/supplies/htcopic.htmlWeird, site... but, it took like a week to send it when it said 2 days. But it came from the supply store in Japan. I suggest saving up a lot of money and get one whole set, 'cause then you'll end up with doubles like me.
For skin, you should stock up on the color E00 (refills) because your probably gonna use it A LOT. THey also have E000now, which is a lighter color that I want so badly. j-j
Any more info., just pm me~! *o*
