Which type of Copic markers should I buy?
I am an art student and I need to find a set of Copic markers to use... I have collected $300 from various art commissions to spend on continuing my art education. Which type should I buy, Original, Sketch, or Ciao? And please explain the differences in the types as well. Thank you!
You will want a combination of types. Each one has their good points and draw backs.
Sketch my personal favorite. The brush tip makes for really smooth, dynamic lines. But given their smaller size, they hold less ink and can run out really fast if you're using a color a lot. But they have the widest color range at 334 colors.
Original has a different body shape and holds more ink, but a smaller color range at 214 colors.
Ciao...I've never used so I can offer no advice on. But they are similar to sketch in tips and have the smallest color range at 144.
Really, it comes down to just the marker body and tips. The colors and ink is exactly the same across all of the copic marker lines. Buy a few of each type and see how they feel. And the wonderful thing about Copic markers is that you can change the tips and refil the markers themselves instead of replacing them.
