I have never owned a Copic and when I go to the art store I fawn over them but then my parents see the price. My parents: You need that many shades of that one color?!? Just get one at a time! These are so expensive( followed along with) are they cheaper online, are they cheaper somewhere else, and you sure you want these? *cries in corner because they don't understand* But thank you for this video I might be able to purchase some good brush pens!
There is a Korean website called 1300k and you can buy copies there even if you live in America or uk. 72 colours set is roughly $305 but if you sign up for the first time you can get 75% discount so that means you can get them for only $77...
Cora Weigle fun fact! what we know to be “chocolate” (especially milk chocolate) isn’t as harmful to dogs as we think because of the small amount of actual cocoa in the sweets,,, however it’s obviously still not a good idea to feel it to them.. but yeah especially if your dog is big and eats some chocolate they’ll usually be okay, unless it’s really dark or bakers chocolate! a 45 pound dog would need to eat about 100 hershey kisses to have a problem (it depends on the dog though and their existing condition)
witchy walter Dad used to sneak our dog bits of chocolate when mum wasn’t looking and he never had a problem. He passed away at the ripe old age of 15 last September and secretly, I think what kept him going was dad feeding him so much sugar 😅
Sasha from the Nether me too , and there is a small store that sells it and it's the only store to sell markers in my town , but I'm saving money to buy some because I don't have money
Sasha from the Nether Same here. But im looking on Amazon today to find some good markers because i want to get into more of the marker art 😊. I have like millions of Crayola Markers so i will still totally use them as well if im just doing small art * That is if i get good markers * So i suggest using Your Crayola markers too, that is if you have millions like me.... XD EDIT: oml, I forgot to stay on topic XD But what i was supposed to say is, You Should totally look on Amazon If you want some good markers.. ☺
copics are way too expensive for my parents to buy. they said you'll have to buy one at a time. like you can't just have one copic marker. Thats like trying to start an ant farm with one ant.
+nolan burrell glad that I'm an adult and can buy stuff myself. Try to save some money and order online. It's much cheaper that way. I bought my sketch markers around $4 with coupon (one-time deal) so I spent around $200 at the time. And also I saved a lot on ordering some colors in ciao markers instead of sketch (some unusual colors like light grayish violet, something that I won't use often).
Ambitious Amy when I was your age I could make 40$ a week off of dishes, trust me when I say this, just ask your parents for copics and save up your money. I’m 13 now and invest my money and highly recommend stocks.
Just a note on the Touch Markers: if you're Canadian and have a Deserres around, you can get each marker for $4.49 each in their stores without worrying about shipping. And a general note, watch out for shipping costs on retail sites. That can make the difference.
The colour code under the number on the Finecolours are actually quite helpful if you're a colour nerd like me; it's very similar to the NCS colour system. The first part tells you what colour it is, and the next code tells you how much black and white is mixed with the colour (or in this case black and clear). Let me use this code as an example: P80R20 b55w40. By looking at this code I can quickly identify it as a medium/dark gray with a hint of purple. The first code is Purple 80% Red 20%. That is the base colour, a purple leaning towards red. The next code tells me how much black and white is mixed with the colour; Black 55% White/Clear 40% which adds up to 95%; the last 5% is the purple colour. Another quick example: O100 b40w20 - It's orange mixed with 40% black and 20% white/clear.
@@jeonorjohn8718 From what I’ve heard (I don’t have them myself) they are quite good, but there are others better than them for a cheaper price. They are also quite expensive. There obviously not as expensive as copic, but Copics are probably more worth it considering that they are refillable and you can replace the nibs, which Prismacolors can not do. I would recommend Windsor&Newton since they are really good! They have their Promarkers and Promarker Brush. I’ve also heard that Ohuhu is really good and I also like the Spectrum noir Markers. (I haven’t tried Ohuhu myself, but I have tried the other two.) Hope you are doing good in these times and that I could be to help.
Regular copics are 10 dollars and caio are 5. I want to know where you're getting yours. They're really expensive here. I'm going to get Prismacolors. I like prisma's products.
Thank you for this! After watching this video I became really excited about learning more about Copic and other markers that were available for artists. My 13-year old recently got the Prismacolor that you showed on this video and I was excited that my parents got her such great markers! Hopefully for Christmas we can start investing in the Copic markers over the next few years!
the thing is 90 percent of the people in the comments can't buy it right? I DONT EVEN HAVE THE CHOICE OF CRYING IN THE CORNER CUZ ITS NOT EVEN AVAILABLE WHERE I LIVE UGH I CANT EVEN GET THE DUPES THIS ANNOYS ME I JUST WANNA DO ART WHY CANT SHIPS COME WITH COPIC MARKERS I JUST WANNA STEAL EM AL HEHEHEHE (thanks for all the likes but wow this is so aggressive.. I live in South Asia-not India) (also guess what im doing fine without markers. I'm glad they aren't available here because it would've kept me from starting oil, watercolours,colour pencils, pencils , acrylics. Which I love dearly at this point in time so all of u who cant find decent markers try other mediums cuz art has a wider variety of choices and who knows maybe you'll like that better than markers) instagram: theartisticstuff lol baiii
I'm 11, and (hopefully) getting Prismacolor markers for Christmas. I love art, and on Amazon, I found a brush and fine tip 72 pack for $141, which is way less than Copics. Just trying to help out some people. :)
wowww i dont know whats more amazing. the fact that you found such a good deal or the fact that youre doing artsy stuff at 11. im 13/14 and when i was 11 all i did was watch the art videos and shed tears (i wish i was artsy)
This is such a great video!! I hope it helps a lot of people :) It's nice to see the variety, back when I started watching your videos and started buying Copics, there was so little to chose from - at least from what was known to exist. I have one of those Fine Colour 'Sketch' markers, Ryan bought me one as a joke present because he noticed how much of a bootleg Copic it looks :'D It was in Hong Kong in an art shop hah.
Haha yeah! I think, potentially, it was a business decision for most of these companies - to create an alternative to the most popular pen on the market. Despite Copic being pricey, people were still buying them and avoiding others because they didn't have a brush tip like the Super Brush on Copics. Smart decisions all around B)
Which art shop ???please tell me .i live in hk i only saw few copics in a book store and its too expensive where can u buy alternatives . and in which art shop
White angel Hi White Angel! I used to get mine in Wan Chai - if you exit the MTR onto Johnston Road - Exit A3 and turn right - cross over so you're on the left. Keep walking straight down until you can see the sign for Cosmos Books but before Cosmos Books there is a small road - turn left and there is a shop a little further up with some stairs - they have a little window with art supplies in before the stairs. They sell Copic Sketch for about $36 each, there's also discounts if you buy a few. Best price in HK, from when I was there. gyazo.com/5a24926091fc8287365a61c0af3205ab This is the road you need to turn up - go left after the shoe shop before Cosmos Books :) Hope you find it!
Leila Isabalaeva I haven't tried the ones on Amazon or eBay but I have the real Shinhan touch twin markers and they are amazing! I also own a few copic ciao's and I prefer touch markers tbh
Btw there are a brand called touchnew which are basically a cheaper/dupe of them so they are probably touchnew markers because they do come up even when you search up just ordinary touch markers
Best thing to do, at least for me, is get some colors in the more expensive copics and get some in prismacolors. I have a set of cool grey copics, as well as skin tones in copic ciaos. The Spectrum Niors are GREAT in the darker and brighter colors and I feel they weren't given a fair review since you got a light set. Mine are super pigmented. I also personally prefer blending with the chisel tip, and though I love the brush tip, to me it isn't worth the price difference. It's better to buy the smaller packs of spectrum noirs, the ones with 6 markers. I get mine on sale from Amazon and you get a great set of colors. It's also better for me to get a smaller, cheaper set ($12) every so often instead of a $40 set very occasionally. My original set was the "Brights" set and I found it hard to color what I needed to color until i got my copic greys and ciao skins. I later got yellows, pinks, purples, greens, and warm greys in the spectum noir markers and now there's not many things I run into that I can't draw because I'm lacking a color. I don't think it's fair to say that the Spectum Noirs are "good for you to just mess around with". Basically what I'm saying is that your best deal is to combine two brands. Get Copics for colors that call for that level of quality, because its a little frivolous to drop $75 on a 12-pack of markers when you can get a 24 pack for $40. Or you could get ALL of the spectum noir colors for $106 on amazon. I blend just fine without the brush nibs, and Spectum also has GLITTER PENS. I will admit, thier greys are just ok and thier skin tones SUCK, but again. Fill those few tones with copics and you've got a solid set of markers. I've been using markers for about a year and a half, but I picked them up very quickly and I'm so happy with my spectrum niors, even compared to my copics. I've got a huge mish mash of art supplies. It's best to know what you can get a cheaper alternative of and what you need to buy the best brand of. For example, in acrylic painting. It's ok to cheap out on darker colors, you can usually get by and still have a really great end product. BUT DO NOT. EVER. BUY CHEAP WHITE.
Try Blick studio brush markers they are about $3 each as opposed to Copics which are $7 each. The Blick markers are extremely similar to Copics and you can get a set of 96 for only $118. I hope this helped :)
Nadia Sparkle! Try getting Touch. As Baylee said, they are the closest to copics, and from what I've seen you can get large packs with no more that a dollar per marker
Btw if you want Prismacolors PLEASE GET THE 12 PACK ON AMAZON... I went to Michaels and got 7 markers to complete my 64 Prisma color goal but it costed me $42 including tax and it was $5.99 each :/ but good thing I have a lot of money in my wallet because I barely buy other things unless I need them and use my extra cash on markers and art supplies :/ but please go to Amazon unless you have a super discount! Other wise I would say the Prisma colors are amazing but you should buy the PB instead of the PM because the PB has the brush nib but the PM has the fine point and fat point so yea unless you want the hard fat point then you might want the PB and if you are curious what the PB looks like it has a wavy color pattern on the marker not the straight fat line on the marker or look at the caps that say PB or PM.
ashley kim Never buy anything from Michaels without checking 9ut Amazon first. I got my 150 Prismacolor set of colored pencils on Amazon for $83. at Micheals the set of 48 is already $90! Try Amazon or an9ther artstore before you go straight to Michaels!
awsomegirlpower476 Right?! Michaels is selling the Derwent Inktense set of 24 for over $80 damn dollars! You can get it on Amazon with free shipping for like $25! Stunned.
I also don't color my art but its because I'm afraid I'll ruin it. i have chameleon markers there not bad they have a chamber with like a colorless blender and it makes the marker ink lighter so you can get a good gradient from white to the original color of the marker.
@@sugashunnybun185 Have you considered photocopying (or scanning and printing out) a copy of your art? Then you could practise colouring it, and trying different ways of colouring it, without worrying about ruining the original.
I'm sick of people saying Copic is "The Best". Prismacolor was always what we used in College at Parsons and all I've ever used in my professional life, they handle WAY better than Copics, not to mention they are cheaper.
I use Prismacolors, Copics, and Promarkers but they depend on the art (like Copics for Realistic Portraits, Prismas for Scenery, and Promarkers for doodles). Mostly use the Promarkers since they look better inkwise :/
It really boils down to what the user feels comfortable using.. Prismas dont blend as well as copics, design markers "xylene ones that are discontinued" are the BEST for that. copics streak less
Everyone's opinion is different. I use Promarkers, Brushmarkers, Copics and Prismacolor. I've found that the Copics go on smoother and blend better, but I think that the Prismacolors are the most vibrant. It depends on what the user likes and prefers. :)
I'd also like to note that you can buy empty copics really cheap and fill them yourself with colors that they don't come in from the factory. I did that with a wide marker.
My partner in class is an artist and she uses Prismacolor markers and when we did art projects together, she used them and our teachers were always impressed with her work. I gotta say, if you're on a budget they are great markers! They always made our art pieces look a little more professional. (I didn't draw much but I helped out with motivation/ideas! 😂)
in Indonesia, one copic sketch marker is Rp 58 000. that equals to 5 cafeteria meals (with rice, plenty of meat, sauce, and veggies with that), or 19 McDonalds cone ice creams, or 9 medium glasses of chocolate milk, or 2 manga comics, or 2 finecolour pens.... yeah, not going to buy copics.
If you don't care if the tip is brush or barrel, I recommend you get the Ohuhu dual tipped markers. I got a pack of 40 for only $20 of Amazon and it was Prime. They are pretty saturated in color and they are really cheap. That also come with a case like the Finecolour ones. It has a very nice range of colors and shades and it comes with grey. It has the glossy plastic rather than the matte, the labels are printed rather than a sticker, and it is oval shape so it doesn't roll around. I highly recommend you get them if you are looking for a dual tipped markers and you are fine with a bullet nib rather a brush nib.
You put so much effort in to your videos and it really shows. Thank you for posting this! I've been curious as to whether I ought to try other marker types out. I may try prismacolors, based on the quality of the color. Although, this really cements in my mind that Copics are the all around best because they have a much larger selection and are more available in general. In terms of the alternatives, what did you think about the amount of bleeding through, or bleeding out of lines? Were they all so similar it wasn't noticeable? I tested out Prismaccolors in the past and felt like the ink spread much more than copic ink.
Tbh, bleeding can occur differently with every paper. With the bleeding problem you have to know how to control it like knowing how far to place the marker so that you can get good coverage and without bleeding. I know with some papers it reduces bleeding by a lot like the canson marker paper and watercolour paper just sucks it downwards, now outwards I find. That is if you don't scrub off the sizing on it. But cheap paper does that like printer or sketchbook paper.
Spectrum Noir markers really soaked my paper. With good white card stock, even with lots of blending...Copic still came out on top of least bleed through. But I was irritated I couldn't find a paper that worked well with the marker and didn't bleed to the other side, until....I found a newer paper made by Crescent called RENDR (but it is spelled with the last R backwards). It literally will NOT bleed through to the other side with maker, watercolor, deleter black ink from dip pens, etc. It only comes in white. The best price is found on dickblick.com. You will pay an arm and a leg on amazon. Hope this is helpful.
Oh I love those papers! I do love using it but I find that they make the colours look very dull?? I would have loved to use it more but seeing how it makes the colours look awful I just couldn't stand it.
That's true, that differet papers react to the inks differently. I am guessing Baylee used the same paper for all of these tests though, removing that variable.
You should try Ohuhu markers! They come in 40, 60 and 80 sets really cheap! The 40 set is $20, the 60 set is $30 and the 80 set is $40! They don't have brush nibs but they're really good for their price!
If you want to get Prismacolor markers I would suggest checking Amazon before you buy somewhere else. I saw a 24 set with a case on sale for $36. Normally it was priced at about $150 I think or something like that. Sadly I missed the deal but still get them on sale for $46. Check on Amazon before you spend your money!
agreed copic ciao is still the most balanced but if ur new to markers, finecolour would be nice to try and experiment with markers and then go with ciaos, OR as u said, a sale on the prismacolor could be nice depends really if you want to draw and color with them for a life time or just for a hobby. i personally prefer ciaos over sketches but i'm just used to them. in France, the graph'it are cheaper than ciaos but the ciaos can found at a similar cost, like around 3.45€ (3.70$) thank you for doing this video :) i also have the neopikos but i think they are quite expensive and not that good. it's a fact, copic are kinda the best option even if it's pricey !
+Aleksandr Yekchekov If you're serious about art, I would say 10 is old enough for alcohol based markers. Water based markers like Crayola are terrible for layering and blending.
Do NOT go on Ebay to look for Copics. I was on the Ebay website a few days ago looking for Copics and I almost bought a Finecolour set (Copics knockoffs)
This is probably a stupid question, but copic sketch and ciao markers work well together? I only ask because I have two sketch markers at the moment and I'd love to get some sets, but I don't want to wait for shipping and all I can find is ciao sets. Again, probably a stupid question.
Wow! This is the most thorough comparison I've seen... Everything about the marker, charting, ink, feels, and pictures colored with them! Thank you for the hard work! Liked an subscribed.
They blend really well but they bled through like 5 of my pages when I used them😂 but I had mixed media paper so it wasn’t as compact as paper made for markers
I have a few copics and a huge set of Prismacolors. I got the prismacolors on sale and started building a collection of them a while ago the biggest issue is if you get a set they have a lot of midtones but not a lot of lights or darks so you have to buy those separately, but other than that I think they're honestly amazing. I would by them over copic because they seem to last me longer (even though you can by copic refills) than any of my copics ever do plus i love the vibrancy and I feel like copic dosen't really compare there. Prismacolor is always the winner with pigment in my opinion
I bought a 60 set of the Touch Twin markers and they’re amazing. I bought eleven Copics, and they work almost exactly the same. The 60 A set comes with lots of greys and skin tones. The sixty set is a better value, as I purchased it at DeSerres for $230 CAD. If you’re going to buy them, definitely purchase them in a sixty set
I started with spectrum noir then i got some ohuhu markers on amazon and now im gonna get some blicks studio brush markers. I recommend starting with blick markers because they have brushes and are similar price as ciaos and teh are as good as copics
Great video! Looks like you put a lot of effort into this, so thanks~! It seems like it's almost just as well to go buy some Copic Chao markers, which are the best quality anyways haha. I think what puts people off on copic markers is that they're over $300 for the set, and people see that and are like "ERHMYGERD so expensive!!!!" but really, like you said, the fact you can refill the ink and the quality of the markers makes it so worth it! But it's still nice to see that we have some options for other markers, even if they aren't the best! Now that you have all these markers, do you plan on using them a lot? I expect that, aside from the copic markers, the ones that will get the most use are the prismacolor!
QueenKrissu I don't think I would get much use out of them since my colour selection feels so limited, especially with the 24 sets. I would need a colour chart with all 6 brands on the same page or something, haha. But I figured keeping all these is a little excessive considering I have so many Copics. I'm planning on keeping the Prismacolors and giving away the rest, likely for my 200k subs giveaway.
Baylee Jae I have another question. Did you test how these markers blend with other markers? Like, i assume they all blend with each other fine since they're all alcohol based markers, but could I use, say, the Tria with Copics?
QueenKrissu I mentioned it as a passing comment and meant to address it at the end of the video, but forgot! They do all blend with Copics. I didn't test all possible combinations (like Prisma x Tria) but since they all blend with Copics I would assume they all blend together as well, especially considering they are all alcohol based markers.
I love the fact that she mentions the U.K. Especially because I live there and I love doing art but copics are too expensive so this video just helps me on pricing and what to buy.
Hello! I am a kid who uses Copics and I wanted to share which markers I used before them. I used the artist loft brand markers. (the alcohol based ones) they've got pretty good sets for a reasonable price. Before that I used sharpies which aren't the best but they're good for starting off with marker art. I use Copics now and they are obviously the best choice so far I think. Hope this helped a bit
im 12 and im getting into more advanced art now. ive been watching your channel for quite a while now and i really wanted to try copics, so my mom got me a set that came with 2 blues, a multiliner, and a sparkly blue pen thingy. i love them so much but i cant do much with them since its only blue, so ive been looking for other brands that are cheaper. your video was so helpful, i told my mom about the fincolours and i think ill be trying them out. thank you so much!
I'm a million years late, but I do want to add something, maybe you can pin it because I feel like this is important to consider when investing in art supplies in general and would be nice for new viewers to see watching the video or you can add something similar in the description. Anyways, I want to point out that yeah, there are great alternatives that will save you money, but the thing is, if you want to expand later and get better makers, you're essentially losing money by buying an alternative first and going back and replacing them with Copics in the future. I say spend the extra few dollars on Copic sketch markers and start with the basics, so primaries + skin tones + a couple greys (it sounds like a lot but you can literally get by with 12 markers with those basics). The primaries mix together to get the secondaries, and then skin tones which are super important, and the greys allow you to create darker versions of those colors. So just get your basic red, blue, yellow (and green if you feel it's absolutely necessary, a set of 4 skin shades that are light to dark, two cool greys and two neutral or warm greys depending on what you want and of course the colorless blender which is probably the most important marker when using Copics. I don't even understand why the Ciaos even exist tbh other than saving you maybe a dollar on each marker? They are cheaper looking and are the exact same inside as the sketch, so I think it would be silly to not spend the extra little bit to buy a sketch originally.
The pismacolors are the only "real" markers I have used because we have them at school. But I love them. Yet again though, we only have about 20 of them. I hope to find some that are nice that my parents are willing to buy me some
I have a 100+ touch five marker set, that i got for only 2$ on wish, and im happy with them. In my opinion, its the best copic alternative because of the price, color, and quality. It came absolutely perfect, no marker was dried out and it came with a colorless blender.
I loved this video, though I'll probably just stick to gradually growing my copic sketch collection. Something I would've like to see is the cat ladies colored as similarly as possible instead of having so many variations, to me it just would've been more helpful for comparing them to each other so you could see the differences in quality, pigment, ect. without being distracted by the changing colors. That's just my opinion though and it was still a very insightful video :D
ArtChoo Baka I considered that, but since the colours don't match between brands, people would judge thinking "Oh that blue is brighter than that blue" when really it's because they are two totally different blues. I also factored in whether or not a certain hue had enough shades for me to shade in. Like if there is only one orange, but 3 pinks, I colour the shirt in pink. When I have only 24 colours, it's impossible to match the colouring job.
Baylee Jae ah I see, that makes since. I kinda figured you would have a reason for it but still wanted to ask. Also, unrelated question: what line smoother do you use for photoshop? I only got mine a few weeks ago so I'm still trying to figure it all out, thanks!
Cheap feel? It's a case keeping it from drying yes? Isn't that all you need? I apologize if this comes out bratty. I luv ur vids Baylee, but this vid just bothered me a tad.
I use Ohuhu. They are less than $.50. There is no brush nib, but a chisel and bullet nib. I bought 40 for $19.99. Obviously, not the best markers considering the price. However, I think they're great for their price. They still blend well without the rush nib. If you're a beginner, I highly recommend them. If you're considering these, definitely watch DrawingWiffWaffles' review on them. This will help decide if this right for you!
I'm 12 and I'm looking for cheap markers to ask my parents for my birthday. I may be interested in Fine colour but Im a kid who likes more pro...They look ok and a good start off though.
I recommend the Prisma color markers, you can look on Amazon and get a case and about 24 markers for about $48. Highly recommend for beginners or anyone who is looking for cheap markers!
ILuvRainbows1158 I think something you could look into is caliart markers. I am getting 40 for 20 dollars, so around 2 dollars a piece which is pretty good.
I just started to get my first copics this year. Got 25 at the moment until then I tested A TON of alternatives from promarkers to brands that I can't even read their name or the ones that u can get at flying tiger... And now I can only work with copics or finecolor, all the other markers get me quite nervous but if you know where and how to use these colors, you can make wonders.
i bought them, they are fine, works really good but the blending is a little tricky... The colors are really vibrant and saturated (more than i actually wanted) i wish they had a pastel colors set :P
With the stickers on the TRIA barrels if you want to get the stickers off, you can go the the supermarket and buy some eucalyptus oil or essence, and rub them with that and they should come off. Also, sorry about calling it a 'supermarket' I'm not American 😅
When your such a huge BayleeJae fan and art nerd that you watch this video seven times in a row to see if you should still continue to get copics or a different marker brand
I bought my daughter a Pusheen adult colouring book for Christmas. The pages are double sided and the paper is medium grade. From this video I believe the Finecolor markers would be best for her except will they bleed through the paper and wreak the image on the other side? Any response from any familiar with the markers would be much appreciated. Thanks.
Why not use a copier/scanner and make a copy of the page she wants to color so she 1 gets to color all her pages instead of being out a page and 2 can color all the pages more than once as she wouldn't actually color the original. That is what my kids and I do so we all can color the same page rather than just one of us getting to color a page and the others have to suck it up. Saves on sibling fights too! ;)
riley hughson The markers are very fine quality, aiming towards consumers that have had experience with art, blending and such. They have a much better quality than regular markers you could find at any store. You can find them on in person, Amazon, Ebay, and the actual marker websites. They can be found many other places as well. Hope this helped!
They're expensive because they're professional and they last really long and all of them blend which for an artist, is amazing I haves used the same copic markers for two years
I have a set of mepxy and i actually really like them. The colours are meant to be softer and more translucent, so they're really great for layering different shades ^^
I have some Micron pens that I use for line art and I realized that the end of the pen allows the cap to click in perfectly! It is so nice and keeps me from losing the cap.
I bet they called it "ciao" ("goodbye") because it rolls away from you when you put it down...lmao
+bentinho Good one!
Haha lol
I'm pissing.
it's ciao ( CREATIVE INSTRUMENT for ARTISTS ONLY ) ;)
meh, i like my explanation better lol
I have never owned a Copic and when I go to the art store I fawn over them but then my parents see the price.
My parents:
You need that many shades of that one color?!?
Just get one at a time!
These are so expensive( followed along with) are they cheaper online, are they cheaper somewhere else, and you sure you want these?
*cries in corner because they don't understand*
But thank you for this video I might be able to purchase some good brush pens!
get finecolour on ebay they are dollar each :)
go on oozak I think that's cheapest site and places like mercari I've seen really great deals in bulk
I'm stalking Michaels for a 50% off coupon to get a Copic or alternative set for cheap.
There is a Korean website called 1300k and you can buy copies there even if you live in America or uk. 72 colours set is roughly $305 but if you sign up for the first time you can get 75% discount so that means you can get them for only $77...
I'm going to get copic brush markers from there... If you want the website link I'll happily tell you!

The only colouring markers we have in my city are Crayola.
Sasha from the Nether me too , and there is a small store that sells it and it's the only store to sell markers in my town , but I'm saving money to buy some because I don't have money
Marie Marie same
Sasha from the Nether you should order them on amazon if you're interested :))
Sasha from the Nether Same here. But im looking on Amazon today to find some good markers because i want to get into more of the marker art 😊. I have like millions of Crayola Markers so i will still totally use them as well if im just doing small art * That is if i get good markers * So i suggest using Your Crayola markers too, that is if you have millions like me.... XD
EDIT: oml, I forgot to stay on topic XD But what i was supposed to say is, You Should totally look on Amazon If you want some good markers.. ☺
same
Who else wants another copic alternatives video?
Shaylee Skye me 😀✋
Shaylee Skye yeeees
Niya Life also the finecolour markers
Yeah.but with a camilian marker
Niya Life but without brush nib
copics are way too expensive for my parents to buy. they said you'll have to buy one at a time. like you can't just have one copic marker. Thats like trying to start an ant farm with one ant.
no it's like baking a giant cake without flour
"you dont need more than two shades of gray"
"well you cant cook with a single knife (hard stare)"
Sasi Priya lol
+nolan burrell glad that I'm an adult and can buy stuff myself. Try to save some money and order online. It's much cheaper that way. I bought my sketch markers around $4 with coupon (one-time deal) so I spent around $200 at the time. And also I saved a lot on ordering some colors in ciao markers instead of sketch (some unusual colors like light grayish violet, something that I won't use often).
I love drawing and my parents say , that they always Helping me getting Art supplies
Baylee: "It's a cheep alternative if you're 10 yo-"
Me: *laughs and hug my water-based marker set*
Bruh
But true
^_^
I’m 11 and got copics. I saved up 2 weeks of money to buy them. It’s not that hard
Ambitious Amy when I was your age I could make 40$ a week off of dishes, trust me when I say this, just ask your parents for copics and save up your money. I’m 13 now and invest my money and highly recommend stocks.
E C ya
@@-kat how do you not do dishes for free, ain't it your house. although prolly diff culture
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR SO LONG! YAS BAYLEE! I'm grabbing popcorn and watching this whole thing
That is literally what I just did
I did the same thing.

GUYS, DURING SPRING, MICHAEL'S HAS A 50% OFF SALE ON EVERYTHING. SO WAIT TILL NEXT SPRING, AND HAVE A SHOPPING SPREE
lmao, Amazon and Dickblick have lower prices than Michael's even with a 50% coupon. Plus shipping is usually less on those sites.
aliexpress does always have the lowest price . Super service.
HOLY CRAP ARE YOU JOKING?!
LMAO IM NOT AMERICAN
i wish there was a michaels where i live
Me: mom i want Copic markers
Mom: okay
Mom: *gets me crayola*

Try Blick studio markers. They aren't as expensive as the major brands and they are alcohol based.
Madelyn Janelle I have those
Youknow Idontknow are blick studio markers good? cause i'm checking out on markers
Kittens Will Take Over The World Da Kurllz also my parents are ether same way kind of
I'm pretty sure they are but I think the blick studio brush markers are better than the normal blick studio markers
I Went On EBay To Search Up *Spectrum Noir Brush Nibs*
But It Autocorrected To
*Spectrum Noir Brush Bobs*
I Was Like "Really Bob REALLY BOB?"
I just imagines a fat guy stuck in a giant marker projectile vomiting ink onto the paper.

Yas another fan watching this
OMG sameeee!😱
Ayyyyyy
YESH!
Just a note on the Touch Markers: if you're Canadian and have a Deserres around, you can get each marker for $4.49 each in their stores without worrying about shipping.
And a general note, watch out for shipping costs on retail sites. That can make the difference.
Thanks, I keep forgetting about Deserres!
The colour code under the number on the Finecolours are actually quite helpful if you're a colour nerd like me; it's very similar to the NCS colour system. The first part tells you what colour it is, and the next code tells you how much black and white is mixed with the colour (or in this case black and clear). Let me use this code as an example: P80R20 b55w40. By looking at this code I can quickly identify it as a medium/dark gray with a hint of purple. The first code is Purple 80% Red 20%. That is the base colour, a purple leaning towards red. The next code tells me how much black and white is mixed with the colour; Black 55% White/Clear 40% which adds up to 95%; the last 5% is the purple colour. Another quick example: O100 b40w20 - It's orange mixed with 40% black and 20% white/clear.
caralarms thank.uou!
I have all the colors of PrismaColor markers! :D I finally got the last color I needed yesterday. Nice video btw! :D
Whoah. Im poor tho
Is it good??
@@jeonorjohn8718 From what I’ve heard (I don’t have them myself) they are quite good, but there are others better than them for a cheaper price. They are also quite expensive. There obviously not as expensive as copic, but Copics are probably more worth it considering that they are refillable and you can replace the nibs, which Prismacolors can not do.
I would recommend Windsor&Newton since they are really good! They have their Promarkers and Promarker Brush. I’ve also heard that Ohuhu is really good and I also like the Spectrum noir Markers. (I haven’t tried Ohuhu myself, but I have tried the other two.)
Hope you are doing good in these times and that I could be to help.
Regular copics are 10 dollars and caio are 5. I want to know where you're getting yours. They're really expensive here. I'm going to get Prismacolors. I like prisma's products.
+kk292 Try oozak.com or dickblick.com
+Baylee Jae ok. Thank you!
+Baylee Jae that name though dickblick

I was wondering all the video
"where did you get the money to buy all those markers" XD
She was funded by someone but if she wasn't that would be a lot of money. 😂😂
+Emma Fennel actually it's quite a lot bc a Copic marker on its own is about seven dollars so...
Emma Fennel Well she just collected the Copics over time
she already mentioned it, PATREON :)
paris UA-cam
Thank you for this! After watching this video I became really excited about learning more about Copic and other markers that were available for artists. My 13-year old recently got the Prismacolor that you showed on this video and I was excited that my parents got her such great markers! Hopefully for Christmas we can start investing in the Copic markers over the next few years!
the thing is 90 percent of the people in the comments can't buy it right? I DONT EVEN HAVE THE CHOICE OF CRYING IN THE CORNER CUZ ITS NOT EVEN AVAILABLE WHERE I LIVE UGH I CANT EVEN GET THE DUPES THIS ANNOYS ME I JUST WANNA DO ART WHY CANT SHIPS COME WITH COPIC MARKERS I JUST WANNA STEAL EM AL HEHEHEHE
(thanks for all the likes but wow this is so aggressive..
I live in South Asia-not India)
(also guess what im doing fine without markers. I'm glad they aren't available here because it would've kept me from starting oil, watercolours,colour pencils, pencils , acrylics. Which I love dearly at this point in time so all of u who cant find decent markers try other mediums cuz art has a wider variety of choices and who knows maybe you'll like that better than markers)
instagram: theartisticstuff
lol baiii
dust face OMG SAMEEE! I ordered the ciao 36 a set from ebay and i'm still waiting after more than a month for them go come!
dust face where do u live?
Sameee every time I’m about to buy something I see that they do ship to Italy but not to the islands! And obviously that’s where I live ughhhhh
dust face same I got the touch markers on amazon for like 34$ so I guess cheaper there was 80colors I’m gonna be waiting for a long time
I agree though it does depend where you live (2018)
I'm 11, and (hopefully) getting Prismacolor markers for Christmas. I love art, and on Amazon, I found a brush and fine tip 72 pack for $141, which is way less than Copics. Just trying to help out some people. :)
Phanicing Death Caticorn I bought copics and I can't wait for them to get here!!!!!😁
wowww i dont know whats more amazing. the fact that you found such a good deal or the fact that youre doing artsy stuff at 11. im 13/14 and when i was 11 all i did was watch the art videos and shed tears (i wish i was artsy)
chrystalleni_the_ salty Im 14 and my drawings really sucks, thats so weird because i love drawing, good thing you are about to get prismacolor!
chrystalleni_the_ salty I'm getting 72 Copic ciaos for 199 ;-; so actually you could have gotten Copic
chrystalleni_the_ salty I'm 11 and im getting touch, hopefully... my mom doesnt know when.
Fun drinking game: Take a shot every time she says bummer
Chilltoon Xtune or ‘color’ or ‘sucks’
Or 'nib' that'll get ya tipsy😂
This is such a great video!! I hope it helps a lot of people :)
It's nice to see the variety, back when I started watching your videos and started buying Copics, there was so little to chose from - at least from what was known to exist.
I have one of those Fine Colour 'Sketch' markers, Ryan bought me one as a joke present because he noticed how much of a bootleg Copic it looks :'D It was in Hong Kong in an art shop hah.
Haha yeah! I think, potentially, it was a business decision for most of these companies - to create an alternative to the most popular pen on the market. Despite Copic being pricey, people were still buying them and avoiding others because they didn't have a brush tip like the Super Brush on Copics. Smart decisions all around B)
Which art shop ???please tell me .i live in hk i only saw few copics in a book store and its too expensive where can u buy alternatives . and in which art shop
White angel Hi White Angel! I used to get mine in Wan Chai - if you exit the MTR onto Johnston Road - Exit A3 and turn right - cross over so you're on the left. Keep walking straight down until you can see the sign for Cosmos Books but before Cosmos Books there is a small road - turn left and there is a shop a little further up with some stairs - they have a little window with art supplies in before the stairs. They sell Copic Sketch for about $36 each, there's also discounts if you buy a few. Best price in HK, from when I was there.
gyazo.com/5a24926091fc8287365a61c0af3205ab
This is the road you need to turn up - go left after the shoe shop before Cosmos Books :) Hope you find it!
Jellie Bee this feels so weird, i was just there today!!!!!!
Jellie Bee they raised the price to 41 HKD tho!
You can get the touch markers on eBay for about $19 to $25 for like 40 markers
Edit:Make sure you put “new” or else you will get used ones
Queen Unicorn thank you!!
Do you have them? If yes are they good? Pls answer 💛
Leila Isabalaeva I haven't tried the ones on Amazon or eBay but I have the real Shinhan touch twin markers and they are amazing! I also own a few copic ciao's and I prefer touch markers tbh
@@majotgrace Thanks!✨
Btw there are a brand called touchnew which are basically a cheaper/dupe of them so they are probably touchnew markers because they do come up even when you search up just ordinary touch markers
Best thing to do, at least for me, is get some colors in the more expensive copics and get some in prismacolors. I have a set of cool grey copics, as well as skin tones in copic ciaos. The Spectrum Niors are GREAT in the darker and brighter colors and I feel they weren't given a fair review since you got a light set. Mine are super pigmented. I also personally prefer blending with the chisel tip, and though I love the brush tip, to me it isn't worth the price difference. It's better to buy the smaller packs of spectrum noirs, the ones with 6 markers. I get mine on sale from Amazon and you get a great set of colors. It's also better for me to get a smaller, cheaper set ($12) every so often instead of a $40 set very occasionally. My original set was the "Brights" set and I found it hard to color what I needed to color until i got my copic greys and ciao skins. I later got yellows, pinks, purples, greens, and warm greys in the spectum noir markers and now there's not many things I run into that I can't draw because I'm lacking a color. I don't think it's fair to say that the Spectum Noirs are "good for you to just mess around with".
Basically what I'm saying is that your best deal is to combine two brands. Get Copics for colors that call for that level of quality, because its a little frivolous to drop $75 on a 12-pack of markers when you can get a 24 pack for $40. Or you could get ALL of the spectum noir colors for $106 on amazon. I blend just fine without the brush nibs, and Spectum also has GLITTER PENS. I will admit, thier greys are just ok and thier skin tones SUCK, but again. Fill those few tones with copics and you've got a solid set of markers. I've been using markers for about a year and a half, but I picked them up very quickly and I'm so happy with my spectrum niors, even compared to my copics.
I've got a huge mish mash of art supplies. It's best to know what you can get a cheaper alternative of and what you need to buy the best brand of. For example, in acrylic painting. It's ok to cheap out on darker colors, you can usually get by and still have a really great end product. BUT DO NOT. EVER. BUY CHEAP WHITE.
Copic Sketch where I live is around 7 dollars a piece, so it's hard to convince my parents to get them...
Try Blick studio brush markers they are about $3 each as opposed to Copics which are $7 each. The Blick markers are extremely similar to Copics and you can get a set of 96 for only $118. I hope this helped :)
Nadia Sparkle! Try getting Touch. As Baylee said, they are the closest to copics, and from what I've seen you can get large packs with no more that a dollar per marker
Nadia Sparkle! lol yeah I'm probably gonna get them for Christmas but if I asked any other time it'd be a hard no
maddiemo same!
At michaels, there 8 dollars
Btw if you want Prismacolors PLEASE GET THE 12 PACK ON AMAZON... I went to Michaels and got 7 markers to complete my 64 Prisma color goal but it costed me $42 including tax and it was $5.99 each :/ but good thing I have a lot of money in my wallet because I barely buy other things unless I need them and use my extra cash on markers and art supplies :/ but please go to Amazon unless you have a super discount! Other wise I would say the Prisma colors are amazing but you should buy the PB instead of the PM because the PB has the brush nib but the PM has the fine point and fat point so yea unless you want the hard fat point then you might want the PB and if you are curious what the PB looks like it has a wavy color pattern on the marker not the straight fat line on the marker or look at the caps that say PB or PM.
Oh and the PM has the writing on the caps and they do have the hooks like the new ones
ashley kim i would never really buy art supplies at michaels they dont have a good selection and are WAYYYY overpriced
ashley kim Never buy anything from Michaels without checking 9ut Amazon first. I got my 150 Prismacolor set of colored pencils on Amazon for $83. at Micheals the set of 48 is already $90! Try Amazon or an9ther artstore before you go straight to Michaels!
awsomegirlpower476 Right?! Michaels is selling the Derwent Inktense set of 24 for over $80 damn dollars! You can get it on Amazon with free shipping for like $25! Stunned.
🌺
I never color my art because I keep thinking to myself "I'm going to get some good markers soon."
And then I don't.
I'm struggling.
I also don't color my art but its because I'm afraid I'll ruin it. i have chameleon markers there not bad they have a chamber with like a colorless blender and it makes the marker ink lighter so you can get a good gradient from white to the original color of the marker.
@@sugashunnybun185 oh yeah same!
@@sugashunnybun185 Have you considered photocopying (or scanning and printing out) a copy of your art? Then you could practise colouring it, and trying different ways of colouring it, without worrying about ruining the original.
I'm sick of people saying Copic is "The Best". Prismacolor was always what we used in College at Parsons and all I've ever used in my professional life, they handle WAY better than Copics, not to mention they are cheaper.
I use Prismacolors, Copics, and Promarkers but they depend on the art (like Copics for Realistic Portraits, Prismas for Scenery, and Promarkers for doodles). Mostly use the Promarkers since they look better inkwise :/
"Design" markers top all
It really boils down to what the user feels comfortable using.. Prismas dont blend as well as copics, design markers "xylene ones that are discontinued" are the BEST for that. copics streak less
Everyone's opinion is different. I use Promarkers, Brushmarkers, Copics and Prismacolor. I've found that the Copics go on smoother and blend better, but I think that the Prismacolors are the most vibrant. It depends on what the user likes and prefers. :)
Noodle Playz U hit it right on the nose..
16:30 look at the color swatches. One says P00. I'm a mature hooman.
Poo poop I'm slippery poop
when memes were just captioned photos l
ikr?
don't worry I laughed too
Like everybody noticed that...
I'd also like to note that you can buy empty copics really cheap and fill them yourself with colors that they don't come in from the factory. I did that with a wide marker.
My partner in class is an artist and she uses Prismacolor markers and when we did art projects together, she used them and our teachers were always impressed with her work. I gotta say, if you're on a budget they are great markers! They always made our art pieces look a little more professional. (I didn't draw much but I helped out with motivation/ideas! 😂)
in Indonesia, one copic sketch marker is Rp 58 000. that equals to 5 cafeteria meals (with rice, plenty of meat, sauce, and veggies with that), or 19 McDonalds cone ice creams, or 9 medium glasses of chocolate milk, or 2 manga comics, or 2 finecolour pens.... yeah, not going to buy copics.
I'm from indonesia and I know copics are expensive so I just buy a cheaper brand .. But it's works the same way though I love how the color came out
Bunga Cintya I found a pretty good brand with half the price.
can you name the brand?
It's finecolour. About Rp. 28000.
A bit more than 4$. I don't know if that's expensive in America, but that's expensive in Indonesia.
I've only had a small insight to Copics and they're obviously very high quality. .. BUT (and a big but) ...... THEY'RE SO DAMN EXPENSIVE.
Ikr you shouldn't need to pay $10.00 for ONE marker!
+CuddlyCrafts 7 dollars for me >_
+CuddlyCrafts Where I live they're only like $4 for sketch
+Pawsycuddles AJ You can get the Ciao markers. They're cheaper than the sketch but come in fewer colors.
On eBay u can find touch 6 cheap in big quantities
Can u do a 100 marker challenge? It would look so cool!
If you don't care if the tip is brush or barrel, I recommend you get the Ohuhu dual tipped markers. I got a pack of 40 for only $20 of Amazon and it was Prime. They are pretty saturated in color and they are really cheap. That also come with a case like the Finecolour ones. It has a very nice range of colors and shades and it comes with grey. It has the glossy plastic rather than the matte, the labels are printed rather than a sticker, and it is oval shape so it doesn't roll around. I highly recommend you get them if you are looking for a dual tipped markers and you are fine with a bullet nib rather a brush nib.
You put so much effort in to your videos and it really shows. Thank you for posting this! I've been curious as to whether I ought to try other marker types out. I may try prismacolors, based on the quality of the color. Although, this really cements in my mind that Copics are the all around best because they have a much larger selection and are more available in general. In terms of the alternatives, what did you think about the amount of bleeding through, or bleeding out of lines? Were they all so similar it wasn't noticeable? I tested out Prismaccolors in the past and felt like the ink spread much more than copic ink.
Tbh, bleeding can occur differently with every paper. With the bleeding problem you have to know how to control it like knowing how far to place the marker so that you can get good coverage and without bleeding. I know with some papers it reduces bleeding by a lot like the canson marker paper and watercolour paper just sucks it downwards, now outwards I find. That is if you don't scrub off the sizing on it. But cheap paper does that like printer or sketchbook paper.
Spectrum Noir markers really soaked my paper. With good white card stock, even with lots of blending...Copic still came out on top of least bleed through. But I was irritated I couldn't find a paper that worked well with the marker and didn't bleed to the other side, until....I found a newer paper made by Crescent called RENDR (but it is spelled with the last R backwards). It literally will NOT bleed through to the other side with maker, watercolor, deleter black ink from dip pens, etc. It only comes in white. The best price is found on dickblick.com. You will pay an arm and a leg on amazon. Hope this is helpful.
Oh I love those papers! I do love using it but I find that they make the colours look very dull?? I would have loved to use it more but seeing how it makes the colours look awful I just couldn't stand it.
That's true, that differet papers react to the inks differently. I am guessing Baylee used the same paper for all of these tests though, removing that variable.
I didn't notice any difference in terms of bleeding, but I haven't had much practice with these.
In Australia sketch is $10.50 each and ciao $5.50
wow. in Canada, at least where I buy them, sketches are 7.99
My friends mum has an art shop so I get Sketch for $5.50 but before I new about that I was buying them for $9.50 And at our "staples" they are $10.50
+ziggylavigne so lucky! I can only get the $10.50 ones! My mum won't let me have them because of this
In Spain where I buy them I get a Sketch for 5,40€
oh wow I must be lucky sketches are around SGD5 and ciaos are around SGD4.50
You should try doing a challenge or just a regular video, but only use the chisel nib. :)
owl street Omg that would be awesome! BAYLEE NOTICE THIS Baylee Jae Baylee Jae Baylee Jae
hhahahaha
Yes Baylee totally should omg!
She could cheat the system and just make a video of calligraphy. xD
hahahahahha
You should try Ohuhu markers! They come in 40, 60 and 80 sets really cheap! The 40 set is $20, the 60 set is $30 and the 80 set is $40! They don't have brush nibs but they're really good for their price!
If you want to get Prismacolor markers I would suggest checking Amazon before you buy somewhere else. I saw a 24 set with a case on sale for $36. Normally it was priced at about $150 I think or something like that. Sadly I missed the deal but still get them on sale for $46. Check on Amazon before you spend your money!
Kiwi Bird yeah but you have to make sure they re original
You re kinda betting,but still helpfull tip
Just bought a 72 marker set for $101 without shipping... amazon prime deal and a coupon!!
I found a 200 set for 767 dollors
They see me rollin they hatin
You made my day! 😂😂
agreed
copic ciao is still the most balanced
but if ur new to markers, finecolour would be nice to try and experiment with markers and then go with ciaos, OR as u said, a sale on the prismacolor could be nice
depends really if you want to draw and color with them for a life time or just for a hobby. i personally prefer ciaos over sketches but i'm just used to them.
in France, the graph'it are cheaper than ciaos but the ciaos can found at a similar cost, like around 3.45€ (3.70$)
thank you for doing this video :)
i also have the neopikos but i think they are quite expensive and not that good. it's a fact, copic are kinda the best option even if it's pricey !
For me the rubber on the spectrum noir smells nice.
I am strange.
arent we all?
Yup.
I've always loved the smell of nose-burning carpet cleaner..
Indeed
My mom always smells my new textbooks and gets excited when we are in a store because she may get a chance to smell some tires.
Im pretty sure a 10 year old would be fine with crayola markers..
+Aleksandr Yekchekov If you're serious about art, I would say 10 is old enough for alcohol based markers. Water based markers like Crayola are terrible for layering and blending.
Im 10 and I own spectrum noirs...
oops
+Baylee Jae ya i tryed to do that and it would not work
+Mint Sugar if you're 10 why do you have a UA-cam account?...
+Aleksandr Yekchekov Holy Moly CRAYOLA MARKERS? Do not say that in my presence >:c
You should try Ohuhu markers, that’s the kind Draw Wiff Waffles uses, so if you do another review try Ohuhu’s.
Maybe Ohuhu isnt started yet 5 years ago
For my birthday I got the Prismacolor premier set of 48!
I have never owned a marker of any kind and here I am watching a marker video
I love the character that you're colouring in. Looks like what I'm going to be when I'm older. XD
Is that Andy in ur picture
Wolf mc yeah
Do NOT go on Ebay to look for Copics. I was on the Ebay website a few days ago looking for Copics and I almost bought a Finecolour set (Copics knockoffs)
Cookie Kitty True. it just irritates me when they try and ripoff Copic's work.
omf theyre markers
Ava Bickford ..
This is probably a stupid question, but copic sketch and ciao markers work well together? I only ask because I have two sketch markers at the moment and I'd love to get some sets, but I don't want to wait for shipping and all I can find is ciao sets. Again, probably a stupid question.
+Marissa the Writer All Copics have the exact same ink and work together.
+Baylee Jae so basically, a wide will work with a ciao? o-o
Baylee Jae
Okay, thanks :)
+Emby The Fabu (Emby3) yeah any type of copic markers will work together. They all have the same ink.
+Emby The Fabu (Emby3) ya
Wow! This is the most thorough comparison I've seen... Everything about the marker, charting, ink, feels, and pictures colored with them! Thank you for the hard work! Liked an subscribed.
I love Spectrum Noir in my opinion I love them a lot better then prismacolor
Meow girl same
Meow girl yeah I just bought some and I love the colors and how they blend
They blend really well but they bled through like 5 of my pages when I used them😂 but I had mixed media paper so it wasn’t as compact as paper made for markers
Yea, I got some for Christmas and they are amazing
I love them pens I have loads ( I have the bright set ,the darks set , the pastel set and the light set ) I'm addicted
Do a review on different types of pencils
Lol anyone love his markers so much you don't want to waste it? I just wanna stare at it, they're so lovely haha xD
Olivia Unknown She's a girl
Still come back here just to relieve nostalgic memories of my art journey , love this .
Faber Castells have a great brush pen
Rasheed Elmouchtari Are you talking about the Pitt pens? They're not alcohol based
Vrabb'o'animate yeah... But it would be cool if she used it.
Rasheed Elmouchtari Yeah. I would like if she made a video about Blick studio brush markers.
Rasheed Elmouchtari but its water based and not alcohol based
I have literally watched this video 6 times...
this feels less like a product comparison and more like a roast of Tria markers
I have a few copics and a huge set of Prismacolors. I got the prismacolors on sale and started building a collection of them a while ago the biggest issue is if you get a set they have a lot of midtones but not a lot of lights or darks so you have to buy those separately, but other than that I think they're honestly amazing. I would by them over copic because they seem to last me longer (even though you can by copic refills) than any of my copics ever do plus i love the vibrancy and I feel like copic dosen't really compare there. Prismacolor is always the winner with pigment in my opinion
_Ahh yes, a cheap COPIC alternative_
*COPIC Sketch, and COPIC Ciao*
Lol
I got some spectrum noirs in the october scrawlr box and they had brush tips. I really like them, maybe you just didn't find the brush tip ones.
I was super duper happy when i bought my prismacolors!! I got 48 for 50$ and they are awesome!!
Gracie-Animations where ! Which website?
I bought a 60 set of the Touch Twin markers and they’re amazing. I bought eleven Copics, and they work almost exactly the same. The 60 A set comes with lots of greys and skin tones. The sixty set is a better value, as I purchased it at DeSerres for $230 CAD. If you’re going to buy them, definitely purchase them in a sixty set
What brand would you guys recommend for starting ??
crayola
Ohuhu or prismacolor
Ohuhu were my first ones and they’re only 50 cents each
I started with spectrum noir then i got some ohuhu markers on amazon and now im gonna get some blicks studio brush markers. I recommend starting with blick markers because they have brushes and are similar price as ciaos and teh are as good as copics
Andrea C ohuhu on Amazon
I can't buy one copic marker, and she have more than 50 xD :'D
Lidija Celic I think she ow has all 300 or however many there are XD the fall art haul video she said she was very close to completing the set
Great video! Looks like you put a lot of effort into this, so thanks~!
It seems like it's almost just as well to go buy some Copic Chao markers, which are the best quality anyways haha. I think what puts people off on copic markers is that they're over $300 for the set, and people see that and are like "ERHMYGERD so expensive!!!!" but really, like you said, the fact you can refill the ink and the quality of the markers makes it so worth it! But it's still nice to see that we have some options for other markers, even if they aren't the best!
Now that you have all these markers, do you plan on using them a lot? I expect that, aside from the copic markers, the ones that will get the most use are the prismacolor!
QueenKrissu I don't think I would get much use out of them since my colour selection feels so limited, especially with the 24 sets. I would need a colour chart with all 6 brands on the same page or something, haha. But I figured keeping all these is a little excessive considering I have so many Copics. I'm planning on keeping the Prismacolors and giving away the rest, likely for my 200k subs giveaway.
Baylee Jae I have another question. Did you test how these markers blend with other markers? Like, i assume they all blend with each other fine since they're all alcohol based markers, but could I use, say, the Tria with Copics?
QueenKrissu I mentioned it as a passing comment and meant to address it at the end of the video, but forgot! They do all blend with Copics. I didn't test all possible combinations (like Prisma x Tria) but since they all blend with Copics I would assume they all blend together as well, especially considering they are all alcohol based markers.
I love the fact that she mentions the U.K. Especially because I live there and I love doing art but copics are too expensive so this video just helps me on pricing and what to buy.
14:31 Mepxy has a 'Poo' marker. Heh.
Kawaii Kuudere they also have a bo6 one what looks like bob
idk why I laughed at that. I'm so immature XD
😂 lmao
Kawaii Kuudere POO IS PINK?!?!???!!
Ultra funny
Ah, I really want Baylee to do a video about the new Studio Series markers by Peter Pauper Press that just recently came out!
they're cheap, but I would love to see how Baylee rates them
I agree, I got them, and they're excellent quality!
Nate Really?
DayanaRockStar122 Well, not for professional usage, but as a casual artist who can't afford copics, they're pretty great.
Nate I'm a casual artist.
Hello! I am a kid who uses Copics and I wanted to share which markers I used before them. I used the artist loft brand markers. (the alcohol based ones) they've got pretty good sets for a reasonable price. Before that I used sharpies which aren't the best but they're good for starting off with marker art. I use Copics now and they are obviously the best choice so far I think. Hope this helped a bit
im 12 and im getting into more advanced art now. ive been watching your channel for quite a while now and i really wanted to try copics, so my mom got me a set that came with 2 blues, a multiliner, and a sparkly blue pen thingy. i love them so much but i cant do much with them since its only blue, so ive been looking for other brands that are cheaper. your video was so helpful, i told my mom about the fincolours and i think ill be trying them out. thank you so much!
I'm a million years late, but I do want to add something, maybe you can pin it because I feel like this is important to consider when investing in art supplies in general and would be nice for new viewers to see watching the video or you can add something similar in the description. Anyways, I want to point out that yeah, there are great alternatives that will save you money, but the thing is, if you want to expand later and get better makers, you're essentially losing money by buying an alternative first and going back and replacing them with Copics in the future. I say spend the extra few dollars on Copic sketch markers and start with the basics, so primaries + skin tones + a couple greys (it sounds like a lot but you can literally get by with 12 markers with those basics). The primaries mix together to get the secondaries, and then skin tones which are super important, and the greys allow you to create darker versions of those colors. So just get your basic red, blue, yellow (and green if you feel it's absolutely necessary, a set of 4 skin shades that are light to dark, two cool greys and two neutral or warm greys depending on what you want and of course the colorless blender which is probably the most important marker when using Copics. I don't even understand why the Ciaos even exist tbh other than saving you maybe a dollar on each marker? They are cheaper looking and are the exact same inside as the sketch, so I think it would be silly to not spend the extra little bit to buy a sketch originally.
You should've reviewed the ohuhu markers too. Helpful video! Thanks!
Colin Obrien
Ohuhu markers is a private label from touch markers
They are same thing
The pismacolors are the only "real" markers I have used because we have them at school. But I love them. Yet again though, we only have about 20 of them. I hope to find some that are nice that my parents are willing to buy me some
You have them at school? Lucky! All we have at school is sharpie galore.. and I sit at my desk with spectrum noirs...
+Magical Pink Mouse i sit at my desk with spectrum noir, but my school only has cheapy felt tips
Same, we rarely only get the sharpies out in my school.
Eh.. My school only has crayolas xD
Well, atleast Crayola Pencils arent to bad...Arianna Trancy
I have a 100+ touch five marker set, that i got for only 2$ on wish, and im happy with them. In my opinion, its the best copic alternative because of the price, color, and quality. It came absolutely perfect, no marker was dried out and it came with a colorless blender.
Christeljoy_02 Is SugaFree wait... each marker was $2 or you got 100+ markers for a total of $2?!
I loved this video, though I'll probably just stick to gradually growing my copic sketch collection. Something I would've like to see is the cat ladies colored as similarly as possible instead of having so many variations, to me it just would've been more helpful for comparing them to each other so you could see the differences in quality, pigment, ect. without being distracted by the changing colors. That's just my opinion though and it was still a very insightful video :D
ArtChoo Baka I considered that, but since the colours don't match between brands, people would judge thinking "Oh that blue is brighter than that blue" when really it's because they are two totally different blues. I also factored in whether or not a certain hue had enough shades for me to shade in. Like if there is only one orange, but 3 pinks, I colour the shirt in pink. When I have only 24 colours, it's impossible to match the colouring job.
Baylee Jae ah I see, that makes since. I kinda figured you would have a reason for it but still wanted to ask. Also, unrelated question: what line smoother do you use for photoshop? I only got mine a few weeks ago so I'm still trying to figure it all out, thanks!
ArtChoo Baka I have Lazy Nezumi Pro.
2019 anyone? 😅
I was literally so shocked when I looked at the date of the video... 🤣
Omg same I thought it was new and then I looked at the date and was like wHaTtTtTtTtTtT
Fatmir q nope 2020
Same
2020
Cheap feel? It's a case keeping it from drying yes? Isn't that all you need? I apologize if this comes out bratty. I luv ur vids Baylee, but this vid just bothered me a tad.
Prismacolor actually does come in grey, but the grey colors come in an entirely separate box of 12, all in different shades of neutral grey.
14:14 theres a color named poo! XD
It's P zero zero
😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😃
Leah Uriarte I think its P00
Leah Uriarte 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 hahahahahah
3 DOLLARS. OMG IN MY MICHEALS THE CIAOS ARE 7 bucks and the sketches are 7.50
Mary Anna Marie At my store their 8 bux(sketch)
Michael's has coupons tho 40% off on 1 item every single day
in north carolina copics are freaking 8.00 ;-;
they're 11 dollars in Australia :')
+cosmo games where I lie there 130 for 1
Tf copics cost 1.00 where i live.
hey come down to SC! my hobby lobby sells them for $6.99 😂
Mississippi, the cheapest that I know of for one is $7 or $10...
I use Ohuhu. They are less than $.50. There is no brush nib, but a chisel and bullet nib. I bought 40 for $19.99. Obviously, not the best markers considering the price. However, I think they're great for their price. They still blend well without the rush nib. If you're a beginner, I highly recommend them. If you're considering these, definitely watch DrawingWiffWaffles' review on them. This will help decide if this right for you!
I'm 12 and I'm looking for cheap markers to ask my parents for my birthday. I may be interested in Fine colour but Im a kid who likes more pro...They look ok and a good start off though.
ILuvRainbows1158 im 10 and i use copic ciao,but a great alternative is ohuhu markers,they come in a 40 set and they are 20 dollars on amazon
I recommend the Prisma color markers, you can look on Amazon and get a case and about 24 markers for about $48. Highly recommend for beginners or anyone who is looking for cheap markers!
ILuvRainbows1158 I love your vids! ❤❤😊☺😉
Umm ohuhu is great I never tried them but I saw very good rates and they're like 1 dollar each
ILuvRainbows1158 I think something you could look into is caliart markers. I am getting 40 for 20 dollars, so around 2 dollars a piece which is pretty good.
The only thing I hate about spectrum noir is that they don't have too many of them.
The touch twin is on sale and they are only $1.89
I just started to get my first copics this year. Got 25 at the moment until then I tested A TON of alternatives from promarkers to brands that I can't even read their name or the ones that u can get at flying tiger... And now I can only work with copics or finecolor, all the other markers get me quite nervous but if you know where and how to use these colors, you can make wonders.
do a review on the ohuhu markers plz
Cathy Bentley
Army
i bought them, they are fine, works really good but the blending is a little tricky... The colors are really vibrant and saturated (more than i actually wanted) i wish they had a pastel colors set :P
Bts army
Cathy Bentley agreed!
Cathy Bentley why do I find random armies on random vids?
“Difficult to pull out sometime.”
Tell me about it. 😏
With the stickers on the TRIA barrels if you want to get the stickers off, you can go the the supermarket and buy some eucalyptus oil or essence, and rub them with that and they should come off. Also, sorry about calling it a 'supermarket' I'm not American 😅
You can also use Nail Polish Remover
you dont need to apologize for saying supermarket lol, plus some Americans say supermarket :3
LizzyMar OfficialTM its fine XD im american and i sometimes say supermarket
Yeah dude I call it a supermarket and I’m from the states
When your such a huge BayleeJae fan and art nerd that you watch this video seven times in a row to see if you should still continue to get copics or a different marker brand
I bought my daughter a Pusheen adult colouring book for Christmas. The pages are double sided and the paper is medium grade. From this video I believe the Finecolor markers would be best for her except will they bleed through the paper and wreak the image on the other side? Any response from any familiar with the markers would be much appreciated. Thanks.
Jessica H
I think it's the amount of alcohol the markers have.
Yes, they will bleed through to the other side. If she wants to use markers she'll have to sacrifice one side of the page.
honestly i reccomend using gel pens- alcohol markers bleed something terrible!
Why not use a copier/scanner and make a copy of the page she wants to color so she 1 gets to color all her pages instead of being out a page and 2 can color all the pages more than once as she wouldn't actually color the original. That is what my kids and I do so we all can color the same page rather than just one of us getting to color a page and the others have to suck it up. Saves on sibling fights too! ;)
rin rin they only bleed through thin paper- if you can afford thick paper, alcohol markers are so fun
I have a 60 pack of the touch markers that cost $50 dollars coming in that mail right now, was that a good deal?
nope I'm getting a 80 pack for 30 dollars 😂
+Zantel.z from where?
EBay just search touch markers and 30 to 168 sets should be there
Thank you, about to order some
Your welcome 😊
why are all the markers so expensive where I find them :(
yea
riley hughson The markers are very fine quality, aiming towards consumers that have had experience with art, blending and such. They have a much better quality than regular markers you could find at any store. You can find them on in person, Amazon, Ebay, and the actual marker websites. They can be found many other places as well. Hope this helped!
They're expensive because they're professional and they last really long and all of them blend which for an artist, is amazing I haves used the same copic markers for two years
Aw SNAPS
+Lazypig Are there any cheaper alternatives? I love art but these are just wanted out of my price range.
basically binge watching marker videos for black friday. yep.
Where I get copics there about $5 for sketch and about $3 for cio
I ment Caio not cio
Emzi Orange you mean ciao not cio or caio
Julia Wulia yeah
Emzi Orange sorry if you thought I was being rude I'm not trying to 😂
Same , I get them at Joann
You mean Copic Marker "art"-ternatives
//waits for a paddling
*claps*
Get. Out. Now.
(not hating btw)
I find that pun funny but depressing somehow (sorry if this is mean)
I have a set of mepxy and i actually really like them. The colours are meant to be softer and more translucent, so they're really great for layering different shades ^^
I have some Micron pens that I use for line art and I realized that the end of the pen allows the cap to click in perfectly! It is so nice and keeps me from losing the cap.
