Where can you find copic markers?

Answer 1

It depends on if you prefer in-store shopping or online shopping. Generally better prices are found online, but to each their own...

1. Online - I've found that OtakuFuel has an excellent in-stock selection and ship super fast and for free. Copic Marker Scrapbooking is a relatively new company, but they have free shipping, on staff experts and support resources.

2. Walk-in - This has it's advantages, especially when it's time to refill your Copics. Many specialty stores have "Refill bars", which instead of buying and entire vial of Various Ink, you can just pay a small fee to have the shop refill your marker for you. Dick Blick is everywhere, and easy to find though you will probably pay more if you walk into their store than if you shop online. But to find the closest one use the official dealer locator offered by COPIC. All the dealers found with that tool are authorized dealers and are reputable. I don't recommend shopping with any store (online or not) that is not found on that list. If you are still in doubt, drop COPIC a line directly and ask for their recommendations for your area.

----------------------

Specialty art supply stores in your area should have them. I'm not talking about Michaels Craft Store or other craft stores. The small specialty art supply stores. If not, you could probably talk to the manager or owner about ordering some for you. You could also try Dick Blick; they carry everything in art supplies. I prefer PrismaColor markers myself, and these can be bought at even Michaels and Dick Blick but they are expensive.

Or try Pearl Paint and Utrecht Art. Both places offer a student/teacher discount. Also, any art institute has a bookstore or affiliate which sells fine art supplies.

I would like to recommend Jerrysartarama.com. I found great deals on verities of Art Supplies with great discounts including COPIC Sketch Marker.

I got free shipping on my order by being on email. it was at $59. I also stocked up on other things. I buy a lot of the vanish eraser as well for my drawings. They do a great job over there, the best experiences I have had had been online with Jerry's Artarama

There are multiple kinds of "copic markers". For instance, I personally recomend Copic Sketch markers, mainly because of how useful they are. With Sketch markers, you can replace the ink and the nubs, so that is very helpful. Also, there are Copic Ciao markers, which I have. Ciao Markers are usually for beginners, but I use them because they are good for shading, if you have the correct markers. Any way, you can find markers online, and in some stores such as Hobby Lobby. For me, I check on Ebay every now and then, and sometimes Amazon.

Sites that have discounts/ are cheap

Two sites I personally recomend are Oozak.com and Carpediemstore.com. Oozak has up to 20% *NOT* logged in, which is the main store discount. Now, if you do log in, or register, you get up to a 44% discount, which is awesome! Because Sketch Markers are so expensive, Oozak carries them for about 250-300$, which is saving around 50-100$ in total! Carpediem sells indivduals for about 3.75, which is probably some of the lowest prices for Copics you will ever get!

If you need any more detail, go to either Oozak.com or Carpediemstore.com.
