Today I want to take you on a journey about an exceptional marker. Copic Markers have been a staple in the art industry since their inception in 1987. Developed by the Too Group in Tokyo, Japan, Copic markers are professional quality markers that provide artists with smooth application and an extensive range of colors. The markers are refillable and alcohol-based, making them highly blendable and durable.

Beautiful, Colorful and Smooth
Industrial designers, architects, fashion designers, graphic artists, illustrators, crafters, and model makers needed a versatile and vibrant professional maker to meet their needs. Copic markers solved this problem. Their product line has expanded to include markers such as Sketch, Ciao Classic, Wide, and Brush.
There are many choices, but Sketch is the most popular choice among professionals due to its ergonomic design and ultra-blendable ink. Ciao is excellent for beginners due to its economical design and lower ink content.
So Versatile
Copic markers are so versatile. Artists like Yusuke Murata (One Punch Man) use these markers to make Manga and Comic Illustration. Megan Hess and Blair Breitestien use these markers to create stunning, stylish fashion illustrations that capture the essence of the latest trends and runway designs. And let us remember our animators and storyboarders. Glen Keane, a legendary animator from Disney, is known for his Copics in his work. Product and industrial design, urban sketching, and plein air drawing alike; copic markers are well suited.
As you can see, Copic markers have earned their place as a staple in the creative world of artists because of their exceptional quality, vibrant color range, and unparalleled blending capabilities. Be sure to embrace this remarkable artistic medium and join the ranks of countless artists who have discovered the joy and satisfaction of creating stunning, expressive works with Copic markers.
