What the Copic Sketch 6-Marker Set (Earth) is

The Copic Sketch Earth Essential set is six Copic Sketch alcohol markers in earth, blue and yellow-green tones: B41, B45, E34, E39, YG13 and YG17. Each marker has a flexible brush tip for detailed strokes and a chisel tip for covering larger areas.

Copic Sketch markers are made in Japan, refillable with Copic Ink and fitted with replaceable nibs, so a favorite shade can last for years instead of being thrown away. Copic suggests this set as a companion to its Sea and Sky set.

Who the Copic Sketch 6-Marker Set (Earth) suits

  • Illustrators testing Copic. Six markers is a small way to see how Copic Sketch markers blend.
  • Landscape and nature artists. The set is built around earth tones: blues, browns and yellow-greens.

Before you buy

  • This set has six colors, so plan to add more for full scenes, or pair it with the Sea and Sky set as Copic suggests.
  • The listing does not say refill ink or spare nibs come in the set.
  • Use marker paper or bleedproof paper, as alcohol ink soaks through thin sheets.
  • Recap after every use to keep the alcohol ink from evaporating.
