For all the artists out there
Youre telling me I threw away 10 dollar markers FOR NOTHING

Plus copics are actually refillable and you can buy more colored ink online for pretty cheap!
So yeah dont throw out copics.
Omg that hurts me that people threw away such expensive markers. Omg. I have like $400 worth of those things
The fact that they’re refillable is something I really want to stress, here!
Copics are very pricey upfront, but a refill costs around the same price as the marker. That single refill can fill your marker up like, 10 times.
So lets say you pay $5 per marker. If you toss them and replace them, there goes $55 per color.
If you were to just refill them, you’re out of pocket like, $10 by comparison.
The nibs are also replaceable!

My favorite place to get ink refills is Imagination International. They have every color of Copic available and each size including a bunch of accessories. A bottle of ink has about five refills (at least) goes for $9.
So you could spend $35 on five different markers or $14 for one and bottle of ink.
BONUS: They also sell IC screentone! Their variety is huge, the sheets are large (10x14 at least), and the prices are fair! I’ve really been enjoying IC’s stuff.
HERE’S A LINK TO THEIR WEBSITE

Shipping is fair and fast, and their website also serves as a remarkable resource for artists who need tips or just want to print out some coloring pages.
Side note: They’re based in Eugene, OR, too, which is home to my alma mater and makes me love them even more! (Go Ducks!)
