Expensive: Truth be told, alcohol based markers are on the higher side because of their top-notch quality. Nonetheless, for the high price you get exceptional quality, a wide range of colors, and smoother blending. Besides, those that are refillable and have interchangeable nibs can be cost-effective in the long run. Choosing a good alcohol marker takes a bit more scrutiny. Here are some of the factors you need to take into consideration when buying: The Copic marker is the most frequently used marker brand in Japan’s manga industry. Their amazing color range is unmatched by any other marker brand, and they are refillable so you will never need to buy another marker again.

Overall, the Copic marker SB12 set is a great choice for those who want to take their art to the next level. Although these markers come at a higher price, they are guaranteed to provide you with quality and consistent performance that is not seen in most alcohol-based markers in the market. Despite this, I still believe that this marker set is highly regarded for its quality as well as the number of colors it offers. Unlike most markers, it guarantees color consistency from both sides owing to the single ink source. As with many alcohol based markers, these tend to bleed through thin paper. This is why you should use heavy duty paper to prevent this from happening. I think this is a good set if you like copic markers but can’t afford them. They are close enough in quality and ink consistency.
