Copic Markers

[carolemartin]

I finally broke down and bought some markers at a Scrapbook Store....they are square, with the wedge nib at one end and a hard marker nib at the other. Then I saw in an art store that they had the markers a bit cheaper, so bought some more. These ones are an "elliptical" shape and have the same wedge shaped nib at one end but a "paint brush" type nib at the other. I didn't realize there were two types. What is different between using these two (besides the obvious) and which ones do people prefer to use?
I am new at this whole Copic mania!

I own a few Copics. The "Ciao's", the cheaper version. What I love about them is the brush tip they have.
I am not sure, but I think most of us here are using the Copic Ciao Markers.

Which Copics to get? Original, Sketch or Ciao?
Differences of Copic vs. water-based markers

I like using the Copic Original when working with A Muse images, due to the ability to get into very small/tight spots with the bullet tip.

Copics cannot be used direct to rubber, in the same way that water-based can.

HTH,
