Oh wow, amazing. I decided to go to my history tab just to take a screenshot and prove what I was looking at last night:
I was literally looking up markers to order so I can start coloring my drawings. What a coincidence with this article, maybe a sign that I should really order them already, hehe! Would you say to start out with the Ciao ones as a newbie and then after maybe upgrade to the Sketch ones? How long do they last before a refill is needed?
Thanks!
Haha that's cool! :D Ciao and Sketch work the exact same way. Ciao is smaller/thinner. I have large hands, so I feel like Sketch fits me better. Ciao also looks a bit "cheap", more plasticy sort of. But they are exactly as good as Sketch. Same ink, same nib :) So there's no upgrade so to speak, just personal preference.
The only downside with ciao is that it holds less ink, so you would have to refill more often than with sketch. There aren't as many colors avaliable either.
How long before you need to refill highly depends on paper, coloring style and how often you use them.
If you use thin markerpaper, they would last a looong time. But if you use thick watercolor paper they will run out of ink a lot faster.
I have 200+++ markers and about 40 refills, and not all are used. One refill package can fill a sketch 10 times (i think) from emtpy to completely full. I've had mine for about 10 months, and I have used them a lot.
Awesome! Thank you very much for all the extra information! Made my choice a lot easier :)
Very excited now to start drawing sketches and have them ready for the markers when they arrive. :D Gotta make sure to check your posts some more about tutorials too! :)
Btw, does this mean
That the color won't run through even thin lines of the multiliner?
It means that the multiliners are copic safe, so they don't smudge when you use copics on top of them. If you use copics on top of a regular pen, the ink will smudge and it will look messy..
Ahh noo, that quote was from a website, sorry for the confusion.
Hahaa, yeeeah. I just couldn't understand why I had written that.. Time to go to bed I think XD
