Understanding the differences in marker types.

There are many types of markers to choose from, but not all of them are equal. If you've seen my work, you know how much I love working with alcohol markers. These markers are vibrant, come in a wide range of colors, and are fun to use. Here's what you need to know about using alcohol markers, specifically Copic markers.

Copic markers are my favorite type of alcohol marker. They have several unique features that set them apart from other markers, such as:

Refillable and replaceable nibs, making them more durable, cost-effective, and sustainable. The ability to change nibs also allows for more customization and flexibility.
Brush tip nibs that allow for super fine details and accurate coverage to minimize bleeding.
A wider color range and more consistent color quality than most other markers. Copic markers undergo a rigorous quality control process and are hand-tested before leaving the factory.
Different shapes and sizes of pens that make it easy to find an option that is comfortable and easy to hold.
A cap that accurately indicates the color, making it easier to work with and requiring less color discrepancies and swatch testing.

That being said, other markers may have their own advantages, such as being more affordable, easier to find, or more suitable for specific styles or techniques but don’t pass up giving Copic markers a go (because I know you will love them).
