Copic Sketch or Ciao for anime drawings

[rianaiulia131]

Hey guys! I do anime drawings for a hobby and i currently own a 24 marker Chameleon Pen set. I am willing to buy some copics but I don't know whether to buy Sketch or Ciao. Thanks in advance!

I have both and would recommend copic sketch markers only because they hold more color than ciaos. But ciaos are less expensive then sketch so that's something to consider.

I do consider sketch markers better, but considering I dont want to do drawings for a living so I dont really want to invest too much into art supplies

They are very similar (brush and chiseled tip) You can recharge both of them, only the form and the capacity are different.I do prefer the design of the sketch (the number and color appear on top it's much easier to take what you want when they are stored)
And sketch are more expensive.

Always, always go for the sketch ones!
Like @Tanisha said, they hold more ink and considering the prise it's well worth it.
I've only had sketch, and they've lasted me througout 6 years. Still not dead and oh gosh did I make lots of marker illustrations when I was younger.

(I could recommend the Promarker brand as well, if you want lay down flat colouring. They go extremely well with Copic Sketch on top of it <3)

You could start with the Ciao ones if there's colours you know you won't use too often and buy sketch for the colours you will use the most.

Ciaos will run out of ink faster so it depends if youre willing to buy thr 8$ refills :/ both sketch and ciao work the same though. I think there may be more colors available with sketch markers?

Yes 358 and 180 for Ciao.
