Review on 🎨 Copic Premium Artist Markers - 72 Color Set A for Intermediate Level Artists: Enhance your Artwork! by Heather Taylor

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Long flexible brush tip and inflexible 1/4 " beveled edge!

I purchased Copic Premium Artist Markers - 72 Colors Set A - Medium. Just so you know where I'm from, I'm not a professional artist or even a student. I just find that I need markers for different things and my daughter who is an artist told me that Copic are the best. So I spent 72 sets A and B. What I didn't know was that Premium Artist Intermediate Level Markers have a long and very flexible brush tip on one end and a thick ΒΌ" inflexible beveled edge on the other end. I've just looked through the entire product description etc on the page where I bought the set and there is no mention of the brush tip anywhere. And the wide width of the other end isn't mentioned. I keep sets, but I understand why it's called "Between". The brush tip works very much like a real paint brush and requires an extra level of skill not to crush Draw a thin line from the edge of the beveled end The pen also takes some practice, which is what I was hoping for with copic, which are cheap marker sets can't, really bright colors were fade beautiful if you just wipe once and only start to darken if you wipe twice. And this kit contains a wonderful colorless #.0 blender that really makes the color almost invisible. Using it over Cotton Pearl maintains a better pri base of tan. Use on pale pink #RV10 and you'll have a subtle blush. On the other hand, the darkest colors are very dark, opaque and realistic. As the name suggests, you can use a colorless blender to blend out the edges where the two colors meet. I have attached some patterns made on regular copy paper. Monitors vary, but colors look true to life on my PC monitor. Many beautiful tones, a large selection and quality inks that are virtually odorless. The plastic case they come in is a little flimsy, but so far so good. The colors are of course different, but the comments are the same. The 72B is NOT black (although it is a very dark grey) and does not include a colorless blender. I recently bought a set of 5 skin tone markers (also from this site). These pens have a brush tip/beveled edge. There is some overlap with sets 72A and 72B: cotton beads (E00) are also included in set 72A. Tea rose (E93) and barley beige (E11) are included in set 72B. Pale Fruit Pink (E000), Dark Tan (E15) and Copper (E18) are not included in sets 72A or 72B. Happy reader
