Copic Sketch markers are professional-quality art and graphics twin-tipped alcohol markers that are fantastic for your all your fine art requirements. These pens feature a soft and flexible brush nib that is ideal for detailed work and variable-width strokes, as well as a chisel nib that is great for filling in large blocks of colour. These versatile pens will layer and blend perfectly and are highly favoured amongst marker artists. These markers are alcohol-based with saturated and long-lasting ink and they are also refillable, so your pens should last forever!
This fine line pen features a smooth flowing pigment ink that is waterproof (once dry) and fade-proof (even in continuous exposure to light). It is ideal for all types of art and design including sketching and detailed technical drawing. With a steel-supported polyactal nib, this pen provides a delicate and fine yet sturdy tip that is perfect for everyday use.
One of a kind and extremely popular amongst the art community. The Grip 2001 pencil is easily recognisable with its ergonomic triangular shape that features the iconic and distinctive non-slip comfort grip, for guaranteed fatigue-free use. The surface coating is also made from environmentally-friendly water-based paint, technology first introduced by Faber Castell. It’s no wonder this pencil has won 6 design awards!
A good kneadable eraser should be a staple in every artist’s kit. They’re fantastic for erasing detailed areas as they can be easily moulded into any shape you require. This Faber Castell eraser is kneadable and absorbent and will leave no residue or eraser shavings behind. It’s supplied in a flip-top case, to keep the eraser clean and safe.
This acid free paper works beautifully with pen, pencil and alcohol markers, and is specially formulated to prevent ink from bleeding or seeping through. This paper allows for colour richness and vibrancy and is a perfect partner for your Copic markers.
