Where Buy Copic Markers

Prized by designers and artists around the world, COPIC markers are refillable, double-ended markers with replaceable tips. The markers are available in 322 colors. Choose Original (for calligraphy, tone control, blending and painting), Ciao (smaller and good for beginners and kids) or Sketch (recommended for cartoon and fashion illustration) styles. An airbrush attachment is available for the Original and Sketch models. COPIC markers are available through many web vendors.
