A recent update to Sketchbook Pro for iPad introduced the new Copic markers functionality, and I could not be more thrilled. This is a great example of why iPad art is outstanding: I have always wanted to learn how to use Copic markers, but I simply couldn't afford them. Just a basic set of 36 markers will set you back $165 on Amazon!
But on Sketchbook Pro? Now you get over 300 Copic marker shades, in your choice of 2 tips (the equivalent of 600 markers) for free!
Unlike most markers, real-world Copic markers use alcohol instead of water as a carrier. Although they are fun to use, their real charm lies in the ability to blend colors. Thanks to the alcohol, it won't chew up your paper, and it blends the colors without getting blobby.
