Its because they are made there. It happens with quite a lot of Japanese art and stationary supplies that they are pretty basic staples in their country, but due to the cost of exporting them to elsewhere, they end up really expensive when purchased in other countries. They aren't expensive because high quality (doesn't mean they aren't good of course), they are expensive because exporting internationally costs so much. There's so much that goes into the cost - ordering in bulk to make it worth stocking them at all, international shipping costs, customs & import taxes. And then you've got to put them in your physical store (or online) which means you add a little to the cost to cover the overheads for running said business (technically you split this across all products you sell evenly, but its a cost so I'm listing it), and you have to sell them at more than it cost you to order them to your store in order to turn a profit. Which means that they end up costing a whole lot more than they do in their country of manufacture.
McKinley search up Coptic markers uk on safari and do the one which says a lot of different numbers and it’s cheap has to be uk bc it’s sterling pound but you can still buy it with dollers lol now I can get 80 comic markers for £35.00
I'm never leaving my copics! They are absolutely amazing, definitely worth the money if you can afford them. I started buying one every time I had a few extra $$, and now I have a whole collection! definitely the best brand I have tried. Tips: Always color in one direction and don't push down very hard. The tips can permanently bend if you apply too much pressure, plus its harder to get smooth coverage. if you go over the same area twice it usually won't alter the color much but it will be 100x smoother.
Thanks for the tip! Even though I don't have copics I can apply these to my ohuhus! and who knows maybe one day I could be able to apply it to copics, ya never know!
Before I'm even watching I have to say.... I got a pack of grey sketch copics from a friend of mine when i was 17 or 18 or so... I didn't use them a whole lot..... THEYRE STILL WORKING PERFECTLY... I'm 30. They definately are built quality!
I don't like prismacolours.. they're sooo hard to blend and when you let the marker dry for a second then go back to colouring it looks all blotchy and eWW
I love that they're refillable because that mean I can use the ink to mix and make a different color~ Having changeable nibs is also a plus for when mixing gets to outta hand~
Dont forget the empty markers u can buy for ur own mixed colors .. verry handy for not ruining your originals . Oh and also the special copic cleaner does wonders on nibs and pens if u want to clean them out properly .
One marker costs 70 bucks in my country, oof Holy shit, thanks for all the likes man. To clear shit up: I'm from South Africa, and we work in rands. Dispite R70 being ~5$, it's still really expensive, when you are living in poverty yeet
Not only are the markers refillable, the nibs are also replaceable! If one gets totally trashed, a simple swap can save your marker! I’m a big fan of your vids, Kasey and as a Copic user, it’s exciting to see someone as talented as you enjoy a drawing session with a new set. So satisfying~
They didn't upgrade it?! Just like when I bought my only 3 copic markers in my local art store and 2 of them dried really fast. It's cheaper to buy in my country compare to US and Europe, but it's still not worth it. I really hate that alcohol smells.
Odds are, they just got used up before you got there! The plus side to copics is that for about the cost of a new marker, you can buy a refill bottle (Various Ink) that'll be good for several refills!
Whaat? I bought mine a few months ago, they're still fine and full of ink, luckly!! The store I went wouldn't let people grab them and test a lot, probably to protect them from drying, if you do get the refills remember to always close the markers well, since alcohol evaporates a lot...
I use copies as my primary medium(even though I can hardly afford them 😅) and I almost always use that purple color to shade with! It just blends so nice and makes the other colors really pop.
Every medium requires an investment of time and money. I was really inspired after watching some of your videos to try out watercolors, I’m a digital artist but I dabble in Copics☺️. You make watercolors look so intuitive and effortless, but there is so much thought and planning that goes into every piece. Despite having a decent range of colors in my little travel kit, it takes a lot of finesse to combine the exact color you want, which is probably a big reason I love Copic just making the colors for me. And I think you’re spot on about the pastel colors, I bought my first (and only) set a decade ago and they only had a handful of pastel colors. It’s only been within the past couple of years that they introduced an entire line of pastels.
Kasey: *Posts videos* Ohuhu: Hold my refill... Copics: What rEfiLlS*laugh in Russian mwuahahahaaa* Edit:Ok can you imagine this is the most amount of likes I have ever gotten Thanks
Okay I’ve used copics for years! And I’m impressed with her final drawing! The contrast of that purple to the cream color is stunning and It really made me miss when I used to shade with purple 😍
You can make a custom copic color in sketch, with the refills, you can buy a plain marker that has a small amount of pure alchohol so you can make your own color. This is another thing I really admire about Copic markers 😊
Why the hell are there likes for your comment is beyond me... Your comment may be a joke (and I hope you are joking) but it is making a joke out of domestic violence. Wth is wrong with people?.. OH MY GOD. This is so disturbing that people in society can be so disgusting to actually like a comment that normalizes stuff like this. Shame on you and the people who have liked your comment.
A tip with the colorless blinder is when you make mistakes you can kinda use that to "erase" it, sometimes it doesn't help but most the time for me it does and sometimes takes a couple passes. It basically fades the color down to where it's not super visible. Also the copic ciaos are a slightly cheaper alternative if you still want copics with the brush nib lol I have thoses with a few sketch markers!
the only thing about watercolors, and this goes for any medium, is getting super super saturated vibrant colors. I draw lots of overwatch fanart, and i had to purchase a set of cmyk watercolors for that because there are so many things that are cyan or magenta or things that glow, and you literally CANNOT mix that. i like my copics because i have lots of neons and colors like cmyk, but i also have super desaturated and neutral colors
You can get cmyk watercolours very easily.... like quinacridone magenta (pv19), phthalo blue or turquoise (pb15), and a lemon yellow (py3) would work great as a cmy primary set, or if you don't care about lightfastness, check out opera pink which literally is fluorescent pink dye pigment
I personally use Artist's Loft copic markers, and surprisingly, they're not literally the worst brand for these lol. They have a brush and chisel tip, the ink last for a long time, they have a huge variety of colors, they blend nicely, and never get streaky. However, the only thing is that the brush tip is pretty weak. It gets frayed quite easily, so you just have to be careful. I would highly recommend them if you dont have enough money for copics!
Tip!: When coloring large flat areas with one color, try circular motions instead of lines! As you've likely noticed, copics bleed a bit and soak into the paper over time, so having all that overlap equal and balance lets it be nice nd sol id!
I don't know if it's me, the camera or the paper but that red part looks streaky as hell... i would probably use the chisel tip on big areas like that, but to each their own. (It's not like I can afford copics anyway, I use promarkers)
agreed. one layer sometimes isn't enough for areas as big as that + she coloured in long streaks instead of going for short streaks which made it harder to blend certain places that settled before the full spot was covered with color (if it doesn't make sense, sorry, english isn't my first language)
I'd say YES they are worth the penny, the depth they bring the names of the shades and the hues to your character and draw that will come to life with the colors!💙💚💛💜🖤💗❤❣
Honestly, my selling point for Copic markers is the refillability (though it is a tough time to find them now with Covid-19). This makes it a lot less expensive in the long run, and easier because when the marker starts to die (which is hard to tell until it does) you can just drip some ink in it and move on. No need to buy a whole new marker. You can keep track of marker ink with the refill cause you can see the ink get lower. They also have a wide colour range I like. These perks to me are really for those that really enjoy alcohol-based markers. There are so many marker brands out there that are really great, and you can always get a base set from a different brand and then buy Copic markers in colours unavailable. Most alcohol-marker brands blend together, you can mix brands. I have 4 brands I work with that all work together.
Kasey is the only one person who makes me want to draw some traditional illustrations since I've bought my iPad Pro😂🖤 watercolors, behold! I'M COMING FOR YA!!
One thing i really want to mention: if Copic Sketch are too expenssive for you, you should consider getting Copic Ciao! They are a lot cheaper than the Sketch but they're just as good! And most importantly: they also come with a brush nib :'P I payed 400 Swiss Francs for a set of 72 Ciao Makers, a set of 72 Sketch Makers would have cost me 600! Another thing you should consider when buying Copics, is that the Various Ink refill Bottles are quite expenssive to get, they're worth it cuz you can refill your Makers so many times with just one Bottle, but if you need to buy a ton of Various Ink colors at once, it can get super expenssive So my suggestion would be, to pick up different Various Ink bottles over time, instead of waiting for all your Makrers to dry up and having to buy all of the Various Ink refills at once :'D My Copic Ciao Marker lasted almost a year, one Refill Bottle can refill a Copic Ciao about 15 times, meaning i should be able to use my Copic Ciao for about 15 years before having to get new refills! XD (of course this varries depending on how much you draw with them) So in my opinion Copics really are worth it! But i dont recommend them to novice artists, you kinda need an idea of what you're doing before you can really use them effectively Getting expenssive art supplies sadly doesnt automatically make you a better artist ;'P
Actually the numbers are “off” because Kasey releases the video early for Patreons And RUclips does not officially count views until a video is released but has to count likes when ever they happen, just what I have been told......
Isabella S Not connected but people who produce content can always put videos up for private viewing then later, when they are officially released that is when RUclips starts counting views, but once a like button is pressed it counts.
You have to draw a lot not just gacha to find your "style" and copics aren't going to help you draw a lot and then you well see it coming hope this helps👍
Me: *buys copics without a second thought* *has no problems* sweet Also me: *also buys watercolour paint* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH HEEEEEELP Me again: *watches RUclips for like a week... Is suddenly good at painting* thank you Casey and waffles *cries w/ joy*
I’m OBSESSED with Copics! I have 2 sets! (Granted they are the cheaper copic ciao sets, but totally recommend anyways!) You do a lot of strokes instead of tiny circular motions, which leaves streak marks, but don’t worry, it takes practice! Edit: just remembered my profile is literally copic art lol. I love them so much
I don’t think that you have it, but I absolutely love Mallow for shading on portraits. It’s a medium-light toned purple that’s slightly desaturated. It’s amazing.
Kasey, there people that use copics and watercolors in the same drawing and work beautifully. You could try, I would love to watch a video of you with this technique 😍 Also, tips can be changed when they are damaged.😉 And Colorless Blender is most commonly used to remove paint. Unfortunately doesn't work to mix the paints. Hugs from Brazil.
Those pastel colors are such a godsend and worth that dollar. I have a harder time with the cheaper markers because they just don't have that range.
Finally we can agree on something! 😌
Two of my favorite channels comment on each other:-P
I really like copic
@@moony8933 Agree!!!
I have a ohuhu set but I generally buy a pastel Copic when I need to color pastels.

Honestly, my selling point for Copic markers is the refillability (though it is a tough time to find them now with Covid-19). This makes it a lot less expensive in the long run, and easier because when the marker starts to die (which is hard to tell until it does) you can just drip some ink in it and move on. No need to buy a whole new marker. You can keep track of marker ink with the refill cause you can see the ink get lower. They also have a wide colour range I like.
These perks to me are really for those that really enjoy alcohol-based markers. There are so many marker brands out there that are really great, and you can always get a base set from a different brand and then buy Copic markers in colours unavailable. Most alcohol-marker brands blend together, you can mix brands. I have 4 brands I work with that all work together.
Kasey is the only one person who makes me want to draw some traditional illustrations since I've bought my iPad Pro😂🖤
watercolors, behold! I'M COMING FOR YA!!
*HOW MANY YT ARTISTS STILL DIDN'T HAVE A VIDEO ABOUT COPICS?*
If only they would use them correctly . 😂
Me: *sees copics*
Me: *checks price*
Me: I see it
I like it
I want it
I check the price
I put it back
You need to try the Prismacolor colouring pencils.
I'll always prefer you using watercolours though. :)
Copic was selling their Sketch and Ciao markers for 50% off at Emerald City Comic Con last month. For that price, they’re totally worth it.
I'm in love with this illustration!! please do more with copic markers if you enjoyed it n__n
ONE THOUSAND IN FOUR MINUTES?!?! 😥😥😥
Mushroom guy T-posing on ALL OF US 😤👏
I stole a copic from my school once, it was a light yellow.
It only lasted 1 drawing though... 😂
One thing i really want to mention: if Copic Sketch are too expenssive for you, you should consider getting Copic Ciao! They are a lot cheaper than the Sketch but they're just as good!
And most importantly: they also come with a brush nib :'P
I payed 400 Swiss Francs for a set of 72 Ciao Makers, a set of 72 Sketch Makers would have cost me 600!
Another thing you should consider when buying Copics, is that the Various Ink refill Bottles are quite expenssive to get, they're worth it cuz you can refill your Makers so many times with just one Bottle, but if you need to buy a ton of Various Ink colors at once, it can get super expenssive
So my suggestion would be, to pick up different Various Ink bottles over time, instead of waiting for all your Makrers to dry up and having to buy all of the Various Ink refills at once :'D
My Copic Ciao Marker lasted almost a year, one Refill Bottle can refill a Copic Ciao about 15 times, meaning i should be able to use my Copic Ciao for about 15 years before having to get new refills! XD (of course this varries depending on how much you draw with them)
So in my opinion Copics really are worth it!
But i dont recommend them to novice artists, you kinda need an idea of what you're doing before you can really use them effectively
Getting expenssive art supplies sadly doesnt automatically make you a better artist ;'P
Is it just me or does Kasey’s haircut just look so even and perfect it’s satisfying😂💛

You’ve done it again RUclips 😂
RUclips loves to smoke some crack
Isabella S actually it is after 25seconds that you have been watching it
Actually the numbers are “off” because Kasey releases the video early for Patreons And RUclips does not officially count views until a video is released but has to count likes when ever they happen, just what I have been told......
Isabella S Not connected but people who produce content can always put videos up for private viewing then later, when they are officially released that is when RUclips starts counting views, but once a like button is pressed it counts.
That's how you were going to get demonetized for a second when you were drawing hatch
Im a kinda new subscriber but because you don't do face cam much, I never realised how pretty you were 😱🤩
Even though this was your first time using Copics the drawing you did looked awesome!
Wow Copics are great and your painting makes them look better 😊😉❤️
I love ❤️ your style , I can’t find mine , is stressing 😑
I want copics 😏
You have to draw a lot not just gacha to find your "style" and copics aren't going to help you draw a lot and then you well see it coming hope this helps👍
Copic: I’m the best marker ever
Ohuhu: hold my alcohol
lol I have ohuhu
Woah, I’m early, I dunno what to comment.
Also, COPIC.

also you did really well with these markers!
lol Bob Ross the iconic artist
I love copics!... I love how they blend really well!.. I'm still learning on how to "properly use them". :') I love the little mushroom! Such a cutie!
Me: *buys copics without a second thought* *has no problems* sweet
Also me: *also buys watercolour paint* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH HEEEEEELP
Me again: *watches RUclips for like a week... Is suddenly good at painting* thank you Casey and waffles *cries w/ joy*
omg, your face is as cute as the faces you draw
I’m OBSESSED with Copics! I have 2 sets! (Granted they are the cheaper copic ciao sets, but totally recommend anyways!) You do a lot of strokes instead of tiny circular motions, which leaves streak marks, but don’t worry, it takes practice!
Edit: just remembered my profile is literally copic art lol. I love them so much
I don’t think that you have it, but I absolutely love Mallow for shading on portraits. It’s a medium-light toned purple that’s slightly desaturated. It’s amazing.
Comic isn't the most expensive marker .the most expensive markers is the cameleon ☺ can you test it
You spelling chameleon wrong and you don't need the é. It's just an e
Wowo
That one C7 marker bothered me in the beginning...
First!! Love you kasey! You have no idea how many ideas you’ve given me! Have a good day!😊♥️♥️
Kasey, there people that use copics and watercolors in the same drawing and work beautifully. You could try, I would love to watch a video of you with this technique 😍
Also, tips can be changed when they are damaged.😉 And Colorless Blender is most commonly used to remove paint. Unfortunately doesn't work to mix the paints.
Hugs from Brazil.
Fun fact! Colourless blenders usually function better to push bleeding ink back, rather than actually blending colours together...
I. Like. Mushroom. Boi.
Mushroom boi is cute
