Have i ever mentioned how MUCH i really, really really, want COPIC markers?
*hint hint*
find em in KINOKUNIYA or ART FRIEND. XD
lets see. they cost around $6 each, sooooo.
12 for $72.
24 for $144.
48 for $288
72 for $432.
insanely expensive, no?
heres the worst part.
THERES 322 COLOURS.
yes, THREE HUNDRED AND TWENTY TWO.
for the sketch markers at least.
dont get me started on the other one.

PROS --
they come in three sizes, regular, sketch and wide.
nibs are replaceable.
THREE HUNDRED AND TWENTY TWO FREAKING COLOURS.
theyre square, so they dont roll off tables.
refillable. refills are approx the same price as an actual marker.
the cap shows the actual colour.
the clear blender comes in a litre bottle. cost approx $10, refills about 30 times.


CONS --
INSANELY EXPENSIVE.
i shall repeat myself.
12 for $72.
24 for $144.
48 for $288
72 for $432.
and remember,
THREE HUNDRED AND TWENTY TWO FREAKING COLOURS.

rather hard to find. theyre japan imports.


and now i talk about PRISMA COLOURS.

PROS.
--175 colors
--Easier to find
--Round so they're comfortable to hold a few in your hand at a time
--Cheaper: 3 dollars a marker

Cons:
--capillary ink feed (the big end gets all the ink and the small end dries out pretty much the first time you use it.
--Not as many colors
--Bad color selection for brown and skin tones
--NOT refillable
--The nibs break and get worn down pretty easily and when they do you're screwed, you have to buy another marker.
--Labels have nothing to do with the color inside it, half the time they're either darker or lighter
--End stickers fall off so you can't tell what it is until you get it out onto the table
--Smellier than Copic
--The black marker is based on brown and doesn't look good with the grey set; it also blends brown and just looks very strange with all the other colors. I have no clue why that is! If you spray it with fixative it will bleed brown.

got this prismacolour part off hydestock.deviantart.com 's journal.

so there you have it, a post ranting about markers.

damn. now im seriously depressed. -_-""
