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 😅
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 $200 at the time. And also I saved a lot on ordering some colors in ciao markers instead of sketch (some unusual colors like light grayish violet, something that I won't use often).
Sasha from the Nether me too , and there is a small store that sells it and it's the only store to sell markers in my town , but I'm saving money to buy some because I don't have money
Sasha from the Nether Same here. But im looking on Amazon today to find some good markers because i want to get into more of the marker art 😊. I have like millions of Crayola Markers so i will still totally use them as well if im just doing small art * That is if i get good markers * So i suggest using Your Crayola markers too, that is if you have millions like me.... XD EDIT: oml, I forgot to stay on topic XD But what i was supposed to say is, You Should totally look on Amazon If you want some good markers.. ☺
Ambitious Amy when I was your age I could make 40$ 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.
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...
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!
@@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.
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.
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.
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.

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 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.
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.
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. :)
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.
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
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
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! 😂)
Thanks Baylee you were super helpful on alternatives to those lovable Copics I bought the Blick's per your review and I love them I will use them until I can afford copic's still a struggling artist at the moment and I definitively will save money in the future with out skimping on quality Thanks for the video I am glad I watched your video ty! Will
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)
+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.
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.
omg thank you so much my sister kept asking me to buy her art markers so I needed some feedback and I found this video thanks so much Baylee you're the best. p.s I went with the prismacolor markers
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 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.
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.
Wow what an informative video, thanks so much, I have learnt a lot. I bought the 72 Spectrum Noir 4 years ago and I find it hard to blend large areas with the nibs, I prefer a brush nib any time. I've never used Copic markers due to the price but will start investing in them and give them a try. Thank you very much for your awesome video x
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!
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!
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 $46. Check on Amazon before you spend your money!
I have a 100+ touch five marker set, that i got for only 2$ 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.
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)
Excellent explanation on the different types of Markers that are available. I have the Copic sketch markers and I love them however I only have 30 of them.
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 !
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 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!
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
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 bet they called it "ciao" ("goodbye") because it rolls away from you when you put it down...lmao
+bentinho Good one!
Haha lol

Emma Fennel Well she just collected the Copics over time
she already mentioned it, PATREON :)
paris RUclips
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 really love how thorough you are. This is great information
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.
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!
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..
This was so helpful! Thank you for putting the time & effort into making this in depth comparison.
So close to 1 mil!!!!!! I found your channel so long ago and you've grown much :D
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!
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
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
Thanks for taking all the time to do this 🙂
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
You mustve been really tired of that drawing by the end of this video
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! 😂)
Thanks Baylee you were super helpful on alternatives to those lovable Copics I bought the Blick's per your review and I love them I will use them until I can afford copic's still a struggling artist at the moment and I definitively will save money in the future with out skimping on quality Thanks for the video I am glad I watched your video ty! Will
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.
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 RUclips account?...
+Aleksandr Yekchekov Holy Moly CRAYOLA MARKERS? Do not say that in my presence >:c
This was extremely helpful, thank you for making this!
Thank you so much this definitely helped me get an idea on what I should look for when it comes to art 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.
They see me rollin they hatin
You made my day! 😂😂
omg thank you so much my sister kept asking me to buy her art markers so I needed some feedback and I found this video thanks so much Baylee you're the best. p.s I went with the prismacolor markers
Thank you so much for this comparison. This is very thorough and I feel comfortable making a selection based on what fits me.
Fun drinking game: Take a shot every time she says bummer
Chilltoon Xtune or ‘color’ or ‘sucks’
Or 'nib' that'll get ya tipsy😂
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
Still come back here just to relieve nostalgic memories of my art journey , love this .
I have the prismacolor skin tone set and I absolutely love them, I’ve only been drawing for a couple of years and I think these are great
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
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
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.
Very helpful video! I’m looking for a good set of alternate copic markers, and this video helped with my options. Great video
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.
🌺
Can u do a 100 marker challenge? It would look so cool!
Baylee I agree with your love of brush nibs!!!!!! The only time I use chisel nibs is when I fill in very large areas like backgrounds.
THIS IS SO HELPFUL THANK YOU
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...
Is it weird I've watched this video over 5 times? 😅 I ALWAYS watch it when I'm bored! Thanks Baylee from saving me multiple times 😂
I watched it several times too :) It is so relaxing. I let it play in the background when I am doing other stuff :)
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.
Watch this video 6 years ago, can't believe i come back. Thanks for your helpful guide!
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'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.
Wow what an informative video, thanks so much, I have learnt a lot. I bought the 72 Spectrum Noir 4 years ago and I find it hard to blend large areas with the nibs, I prefer a brush nib any time. I've never used Copic markers due to the price but will start investing in them and give them a try. Thank you very much for your awesome video x
For my birthday I got the Prismacolor premier set of 48!
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
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!
This was actually very helpful! So thanksss
This was so informative, thanks!
Thank you so much for this video Bailey I soo glad finecolour markers exist
Whoopsie sorry Baylee I splet your name incorrectly 😅
The touch twin is on sale and they are only $1.89
Nice! I've been using prismas for a while now. Looking to maybe upgrade to copics, but I think ill stick with the prismas for now. Thanks!
Great review. This was a great help. Thank you!
Do a review on different types of pencils
prismacolor is definitely my favorite over copics. i love all of their products
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!
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
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 $101 without shipping... amazon prime deal and a coupon!!
I found a 200 set for 767 dollors
14:14 theres a color named poo! XD
It's P zero zero
😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😃
Leah Uriarte I think its P00
Leah Uriarte 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 hahahahahah
This was really informative! Great video, thanks!
I have a 100+ touch five marker set, that i got for only 2$ 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 $2?!
The "gibberish' on Finecolours are the digital codes of colours (if you want to get the exact hue on a computer)
Do NOT go on Ebay to look for Copics. I was on the Ebay website a few days ago looking for Copics and I almost bought a Finecolour set (Copics knockoffs)
Cookie Kitty True. it just irritates me when they try and ripoff Copic's work.
omf theyre markers
Ava Bickford ..
Excellent explanation on the different types of Markers that are available. I have the Copic sketch markers and I love them however I only have 30 of them.
Thank you so much for this , saves me so much time ♥️ I do have copics , but want to buy more and now I have an altirative 😁.
agreed
copic ciao is still the most balanced
but if ur new to markers, finecolour would be nice to try and experiment with markers and then go with ciaos, OR as u said, a sale on the prismacolor could be nice
depends really if you want to draw and color with them for a life time or just for a hobby. i personally prefer ciaos over sketches but i'm just used to them.
in France, the graph'it are cheaper than ciaos but the ciaos can found at a similar cost, like around 3.45€ (3.70$)
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 !
Thank you so much for the video. You have save my money 😁👍
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.
I use Spectrum Noir markers and they are lovely. I honestly LOVE the chisel nib. Mine were
pre-used and they still work fine
I have literally watched this video 6 times...
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
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!
this is sooooooo helpful!! thank you!
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 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.
this video really helped now I have the prisnacolor marker set
thanks so much!!!!! this was so helpful :)
Omg~ thanks for making this video!
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.
Did anyone notice a mepxy pink code which was POO？一
This was great. Thank for posting.
