This is one of many Copic marker sets and individual pens I own and use. For those considering a purchase, here are the pros and cons (IMHO):

Cons:

High up front cost probably far too high for the occasional user.

Results and colors vary based on the paper you use. I have not been totally happy with anything but dedicated marker paper.

Pros:

For the professional or heavy user, these markers are a great value, as the nibs are replaceable and they can be refilled for a fraction of the cost of a new marker. Some retail and online stores will refill the markers for a fee ($1.00 at a shop near my own home).

The alcohol-based ink allows you to blend the colors and manipulate the final result in interesting ways. On marker paper they look incredibly smooth.

The markers can be used with the Copic airbrushing system (it's no Paasche, but there's no cleanup, either).

You can actually mix your own colors using refill inks and empty markers (which are sold as such).

Great assortment of stock colors, with new releases every year.

Prices vary from store to store by over two dollars per pen, so shop around.

Copic Ciao series markers are identical in most ways (same ink type, same replaceable nibs, same refills) except they are smaller, hold less ink, and come in fewer colors. But they're a little cheaper if you're looking to reduce your initial cost.

Guess this is the so-called top of the line markers.

I got the skin tone set from my friend on my Bday last year, fall in love with then, then decided to buy the sky and sea set myself. The markers works exceptionally well with Copic marker paper/pad, or other paper with smooth surface. I am still hesitate on my decision of buying the 72A set because of the price. But since the markers are refillable, I would consider it a good investment as long as I have the cash at hand.

Best Deals for Copic Markers 6-Piece Sketch Set, Sea and Sky

i love copic markers. i own about 60-70 now and the possibilities are endless. i love paper crafting and drawing and these offer great oppertunities to shade/blend colors in a seamlessly easy way. sometimes they can be bought a little cheaper on other sites so shop around. also be sure to store them flat not upright as the ink stays more uniform that way and keeps both nibs moist.
