Copic Markers Y28-Sketch, Lionet Gold

The first one I received was uncapped and dried during shipping. Company promptly sent another and it works perfectly. Thank you.

I bought this Copic markerY38 Honey - Dude it’s Dried Up. The marker is Useless

Copic Sketch markers are perfect for crafting. They're easy to use and have such a smooth finish for coloring handmade greeting cards. I was looking for just the right tone of light gray and this one is definitely "on the mark!"

Color matches what was advertised, marker wasn't dried out, a little expensive, but it is a copic after all.

If you want to build coats of a color this is a great pen ..no lines and nice selection of colors ...I suggest buying from an art store first to test color then keep a color chart n reorder from Amazon ...once you know what the color does

The color of the ink is exactly the same as the color on the cap. I like to know the color I’m reaching for is going to come out as promised. As a pleasant little side-detail, even the name of the colors they choose makes sense!The brush-tip is smooth with a bit of bounce. It releases the ink precisely and according to slight pressure, a predictable flow that gives me exact control of where I want the ink to go.This marker is alcohol based and dries very fast - once the ink is on the paper, blending has to happen right then (you better know your shading-or blending color before this !) to be seamless and smooth.The colorless blending marker doesn’t help with blending so much, it pushes the color I want to blend with away, making it lighter - great for highlites.Until the beginning of 2018, when I discovered you-tube tutorials and realized how much I wanted to learn fashion illustration, I had only dabbled in silk painting and then, later, I squeezed in a few months of old-master-oil-technique. My experience/knowledge of markers (and any graphic art supplies) was limited by felt-tips from childhood and assorted colors from the 99 Cent store - those things and markers like this one are not at all related, not even like a four times removed cousin.I wish it wasn’t true that when it comes to markers, you get what you pay for. But it is true. Believe me, I’ve tried.“How bad can it be?”, I thought when I ordered the first pack of 100 double-ended, guaranteed blend-able in 100 different shades, no bleed, no dry-out, professional quality “Art” Markers for the irresistible price of $19.90.I wish I could tell you this was the only experience I needed to know better. It wasn’t.A shoe-box full with leaky, dried out, explosive ink-spouting things with phantasy color names and caps that have nothing to do with the color that actually comes out on the paper and don’t blend at all, even with those colorless blending-tools I bought separately and three or four sets of more then bizzare skin-tone-sets that nature wouldn’t allow in the worst circumstance on a human skin, and when I made my own color samples, I had to admit that all I really had was maybe ten different colors, at the most tells a very different story.Out of about 250 cheap markers, ten of them still sit on my desk, mixed in with markers like this one.You really really get what you pay for. In the face of 240 pens that will end up at Goodwill, a $7 marker that does exactly what it says it will do is a pretty good deal in my book of deals.

The Copic 0 marker is a sketch marker with no pigment, just alcohol. If you wonder why you want this and not just a bottle of rubbing alcohol, it's because it's the type and strength. Copics use 77% Ethyl alcohol, and the normal rubbing alcohol commonly available is 70% isopropyl.You can still get interesting texture effects using isopropyl alcohol, but best go for the highest percent you can. Higher percentage = less water.The use is for colorless blending of alcohol markers, but if you're thinking 'blend a blue smoothly to an orange', it doesn't work that way. I tend to use the lightest tints in a color family as a blender between family shades, and different brush strokes to blend two dissimilar colors together.It's good at adding slight touches of a color to an area through transference though. It's also good to fade a color to the background (white) of the paper, but be careful which colors you try that with, as it can make irregular edges. Unless you want that, then it's cool.The first time I tried blending (incorrectly!) it didn't do much, and I made a face at the marker and set it aside. The second time I tried it, I used it to add texture to a solid area of dark brown leather armor, giving that part of the drawing a beaten weathered look. It. Looked. Awesome.Then, I went a little crazy. I hit up the bottom edge of a cloak, giving it a spattered travel worn appearance. I added pattern texture to a drawing of clothing, and touched careful highlights to spots where I wanted to indicate a shine. You can also use it to sort of flick color that has escaped an area back into line, but this takes a bit of patience and luck, but you can clear areas of your picture of errors made with colored Copics. Think of that as a cleanup technique for minor errors, and not so much a correction tool for major errors, though I once coaxed a 1/2" drip stain back in line.I tried using a non porous palette to smear ink from a colored pen and pick it up with the tip of the blender to make delicate shading without needing a bajillion of the palest Copic markers (unless you need the actual markers for larger areas), or pick a little ink up by touching the blender tip to an inked marker tip and transfer it to a small area to blend in. I think I need more practice at this, but you can use it to combine two colors as well - again, in small areas.Even if you never use it as a blender, it's worth it for the texturing alone. I don't think I'll do leather or fantasy characters without it.

So I decided to give these markers a try after hearing from a friend how much they love them and seeing a art YouTuber (Minori) use them. I'm excited to give these a try, I received my first marker a week ago and it was bone dry. I could bearly get any ink out. I contacted my friend who suggested them to see if I was doing something wrong or if I needed to do something to release the ink. Nope, thing was just dried out. I tried to just input that the marker was damaged and I wanted to return for a replacement and for some reason Amazon wasn't letting me. I was almost to the point of giving up when I decided to contact support. After a lovely conversation with a member of Amazon's support staff they sent me out a replacement. I did offer to send the dried out marker back and they said not to worry about it. I just received my new marker in the mail, so far so good super happy with this! I can't wait to make something beautiful with this marker. So be careful you may not get what you want at first. But Amazon will make sure you get what you paid for in the end.

Súper funcional este Blender de copic

these markers are expensive but may come with quality control issues, either dry or leaky...not worth the price.

The media could not be loaded.  Venia usado y dañado, parece forzado porque la tapa del copic está manchada y la punta casi a la mitad..si pinta pero parece estar un poco seco, tampoco dieron devoluciones!!

Era de esperarse ya que es de la marca copic, me encantó 💞💞

My daughter uses these for anime drawings and this was a particularly difficult colour to find locally. I received the shipment faster than expected, and in great condition.
