Editor's Notes
June 28, 2019:
In order to ensure plenty of choices for both professional and casual artists, we've elected to keep both smaller and larger sets at this time. For those who are starting from square one, we still think the Sketch Set A is a good option, but it's notably expensive and not everyone will wish to make the investment. Still, it offers a stunning 72 color choices, so no project is out of reach. There's also the Ciao Set A, which is less expensive but will need to be refilled sooner, as the Ciao markers hold less ink than do the Sketch. (For this reason, and because they are not airbrush compatible, Ciao Copics are generally considered the entry-level, beginner version.) We also added the Wide Empty, a refillable with a wide nib that offers a smooth, consistent stroke. You won't be able to use it right out of the package, but if you already have a collection of Copic inks, it's a good tool to have at your disposal.
