Over 214 different marker colors are available in copic markers that can be used for detailed lettering or drawing. Unlike regular markers, copic markers can last for years as instead of buying a whole new marker you can simply buy a refill. These copic markers are great as not only are they beautiful on paper but for once the ink substance does not rip the paper. This allows you blend and layer the colors without worry of damaging the paper. If you are going to use this marker there are a few steps to follow to use it correctly.

- Marker paper
