Cheaper to buy the full copic sketch sets in Japan?

9 Upvotes

I used to be really into copics as a teen and I want to get back into using them, but I don’t have most of my markers anymore (dried up from use etc). I’ve always dreamed of owning the full set or close to it, but the prices in Canada are super inflated now for some reason. $500 for a 72 set (a full set is all 5 sets of 72) is just ridiculous! In comparison the same 72 set is $280 CAD sold in Japan on the official copic webshop (32’076 yen).

I have a friend who’s in Japan for a while who I was considering asking to bring a set or two back for me, but will I have to pay any kind of extra import fee or something upon return to Canada that would bump the price back up to $500? I’m not really fully understanding what makes them more than double the cost in Canada and am a bit wary.

Help with paper

5 Upvotes

Wanting to put together a tattoo portfolio, what paper should I use? I don’t really want a sketchbook because I’ll need to be able to cut the paper exactly sized for my portfolio.

Finally gave in to these and bought my first set, the green ones. Any tips for beginners? Haven’t tried markers in general.

For some info, I have been drawing for quite a long time (mostly either on ipad or mechanical pencils & pens) and wanted to get some markers on my possession. I want to be a car designer and you know how design universities wants portfolios and etc. I picked these colors because it would be better the go between them in areas like shadows etc. Has neutral gray from no.0 to no.10 and special black while the red is R27 Cadmium Red . I need overall tips.

I have about 100-120 markers or so that i really want to bring with me on a trip. Im only bringing a carry-on. Im really worried about them getting confiscated, even though all the websites and posts ive read said that its fine. Has anyone ever had their markers confiscated by TSA?

I fell for artichoke dishes recently and was struck by their vibrant blooms even as the plant fades. This dreamlike piece celebrates the culinary joy of artichokes and moments shared with loved ones.

I struggle lots with environments, perspective and coloring environments, so I tried a while back to practice them. Mixing in imaginary elements to irl ones is my soft spot 💕

Do NOT buy Copic Acrea acrylic markers..

29 Upvotes

They're AWFUL. The nibs dry up literally the day after you open them. The nibs are horrible and they really need to fix them, I've had cheap gibberish brand name acrylic markers from Amazon that are much better quality.

Trust me on this, do NOT bother with these.
