Copic also offers an airbrush system that works in combination with their Classic and Sketch markers (not the Ciao markers). They’ve been discontinued, but you can still get the empty Wide Marker that can be filled with ink of your choice. Copic also used to have a range of Wide Markers that were available in 36 colors, which people primarily used for laying down lots of color quickly. They have a range of Multiliner pens that have a very limited color range and are designed mainly for technical drawing, line art, pen & ink illustration, or anything that requires precision. In addition to these 3 types of markers, there are a few other related products offered by Copic that I won’t be covering in this article, but felt they are worth mentioning.

Copic also takes great care to ensure that its inks are consistent from batch to batch, so when you buy a new refill bottle or marker, you know exactly what you’re getting! Each marker is hand-tested for quality and color consistency before it leaves the factory. One reason Copics are more expensive than other brands is that Copic takes quality very seriously. Since then, they’ve gradually added new marker styles and colors to their product line, generating growing interest from all types of artists such as fashion illustrators, graphic designers, coloring enthusiasts and even fine artists like myself who made a transition from painting with traditional media to coloring with markers. Unlike cheap markers that get discarded when they run out of ink, Copic Markers are designed to last for years (or decades!) because they’re refillable, and you can replace the nibs when they become worn.Ĭopics are made in Japan and were originally released in 1987, primarily for manga artists.
