Copic Ciao Manga Sets

Copic Ciao Manga Bundle - 4 sets
  In the next few months I expect some holiday wish lists to be updated in the aspiring artist community with requests for 1 or more Copic Ciao Manga sets. Whether you are entirely new to drawing, or just trying to test the Copic waters with your already righteous drawing skills... These little manga marker sets are packaged with some absolute drawing goodness in them... The most popular colors used by professional manga artists separated into 4 color groups. Skin, Primary, Pastel and Muted. This makes starting your marker collection a snap, especially if you can only afford to buy one set at a time. If you are looking for value though, it's just best to buy the Copic Ciao Manga Bundle Kit which includes all 4 sets. When you do this you can qualify for free shipping at OtakuFuel.com - If you choose to make 4 stocking stuffers out of the bundle, that works too. ;) - At the time of this article the bundle was $111.80 USD.
If you are ready to shop now please come back and finish the article! ***Thanks!*** Click this link to buy the Copic Ciao Manga 4 set Bundle Kit with free shipping, or add it to your wish list.

  Once you prove to your parents figure out that you are going to be drawing for the rest of your life, the Copic Various Ink refills will keep these sets alive for years and years and years to come - at a fraction of the cost. When you consider that you can refill the same marker over 10 times for roughly the same cost as the marker itself, it just doesn't make sense to buy the markers over and over and over again.

  What can you do with these markers? The sky and your creativity is the limit... But for both beginners and pros, checkout mangalessons.com for free ideas, drawing tutorials and inspiration. My latest inspiration comes from this video courtesy of zkittyz on YouTube:

Copic Markers

Besides loving to watch anime and reading manga... I love the creation of it as well. Not that I have ever animated anything, but something akin to model building... It's not like I actually build and pilot a Gundam, I just make plastic replicas of them. In a similar way with anime and manga, I love to draw anime and manga type characters.
However, I do love to color more than I love to draw. But I guess that is because I am not very good at the whole free hand drawing as "drawing" goes. Art teachers have told me that I just need to practice. While I don't mind doing that, hey, practice makes perfect... I have always enjoyed the coloring portion of completing a sketch. Copic Markers are my tools of choice and are simply the best tools to get the job done as far as markers go. I use the Copic Sketch markers because there are more colors than the Copic Ciao markers or the Original Copic markers. Plus the Sketch Markers hold more ink than a ciao marker. There's nothing quite like running out of ink in the middle of a project. But hey, that's what the Copic Various Ink refills are for!
The nifty polyester nibs last a while and usually I'll run out of ink a few times before I actually need to replace the nibs themselves.
I'm still on the hunt for some good scans of some fan-art for guys and gals like me that can't draw very well but still love to color in stuffs. If you have a good online resource, leave a comment or contact me on one of the various ways that's popular at whatever time you end up reading this... :)
Here's my good friend Danny doodling with his Copic Sketch Manga Wallet Set at my house:
