$500 vs $5000 MARKER ART | Cheap vs Expensive!! Which is WORTH IT..? | LOKI 

Promarker vs Copic....... Which is worth it? Don't forget if you wanted to grab yourself a set like I had in the video, Links in the description. - Also, regarding the storm, me and my wife are fine and safe. our area was hit HARD but we are on high ground, so we didn't suffer like our town which had 1m+ deep water running through. Unfortunate this has happened especially that its effected my in laws SO bad. My wife is panicking, but we will do what we can. Anyways, I hope EVERYONE missing is found safe and it's truly a tragedy so many lost their lives.

I Love This Cuz Its More Like Expensive vs. More Expensive

Where's Jazza, the Champion of Copic, to defend their honour in their time of need?!

“…I think it will serve its beautiful purpose…” You mean it’s GLORIOUS PURPOSE!!

I have been using copic markers for years now, and one the biggest things I will say about them is this: Copics need cardstock, Bristol, or marker paper to function properly. You can use sketch, watercolor, or mixed media paper, but you will notice the pigment separation.

I prefer the promarker side, it seems less….patchy I suppose. The copic side gives me more of a coloured pencil effect

I'm so sorry for the tragedy from the storms over there. I'm in Denmark so we're neighbors, and my heart broke when I saw the damage. Please stay safe. 🙏🏽 On a lighter note, THANK YOU for this review. I've always been tempted by the promarkers and far too cheap to want to spend the money for a good variety of Copics. Now I have no doubt I'll be picking up promarkers in the future! 👍🏼I never liked that Copic was so "picky" on most paper. It's awesome to know that the promarkers are good on all paper. 👏🏼

I will go the pro markers, because they are cheaper, blend better, and softer then the Copic markers. and I don't wont to spend over $5,000 just to get markers that don't work with all paper... also here is an idea... Ohuhu markers vs Artify markers cheap vs expensive

Holy f... Over 120 dead in Germany? That's a huge storm, glad you are safe. This looks like what Harvey did to my area...

Loki inside the image shouts : Glorious Purpose ✋🤚

Promarkers are overly saturated and ink levels are difficult to control. I’ve used every single marker out there. You’re used to the way promarkers flow is why you’re seeing pigment separation. Copics are meant to be applied in lots of layers, it’s like watercolor ( Copic ) vs acrylic ( promarkers ). If you go over the same area a bunch of times with a translucent color like the light green, it creates a pool and starts to dissolve Into itself. You’re expecting it to get darker like a promarker but it won’t, it isn’t designed to. It’s doing exactly what it’s meant to do. You have to wait for it to dry then add another layer and when it isn’t dark enough, you go one step up. That’s why there are 358 colors. This is one of the greatest strengths of Copic and you’re experiencing it as a flaw simply because you aren’t used to them. Keep using the copics. Commit to 15 high level drawings, and watch some really in depth tutorials before giving an actual opinion. You’ll never want to use anything else. I used to use promarkers and chart packs and after fully committing to copics, they all feel like fancy Crayola to me now. I use them on sketch paper, copy paper, vellum, Bristol, canson. They out perform every other marker. After 20 years of using every marker ever made, there’s nothing that compares to Copic. Promarkers are student grade. Copics are for professionals. When it comes to architectural renderings, landscape sketching, industrial design, things like glass, water, thin fabric, etc etc, you want a fast stroke that lays an even translucent layer that you can go back over. Its literally a few seconds with a Copic, but difficult altogether with a promarker. It’s not so important in comics. You should try Chart Paks, they’re extra juicy, you would probably love them. Or Add Markers

I was watching a Livestream for the drawing of Loki, and it inspired me to draw Loki for the first time. Thank you so much for the inspiration. Keep up the good work, and stay safe, in this troubled time.

Sorry to hear about the storm. When Harvey hit it screwed us over too. Stay safe and send your wife's family & friends The support they need and deserve.

Glad y’all are safe. We’ll be praying for y’all’s safety and hopes that the missing are found.

Brilliant as usual ADC! Every video always leaves me wanting more, but I’ve binged them all!

That speckling will occur on all paper types. I have never tried winsor and newton brush or promarkers personally. It's usually when you reach so many layers, of course thicker paper usually takes more layers than copy paper. It even happens on Xpressit Blending Card. So I don't think it's the paper, it's more than likely the ink which is crazy since copics are so expensive.

Only thing I can think of while watching the start of this video was "Damn, I really like that cap"

Hey there I have recommendation: "PAPER ART | Cheap vs Expensive!! Which is WORTH IT..?". I know it won't be interesting as the marker but this will give some what general idea what type of paper works the best with a marker.

Nice to see you back in the swing of things man 😁

Hey! glad you're safe after the storm, great drawing

It's all up to personal preference at the end of the day. Copic markers are industry standard and great. And the pro and brush markers are also great. Personally I prefer Copic cause with refills it ends up being cheaper where I am but the pro and brush markers are also great. I have personally used Copic markers on all paper types and I have found them to work great but I definitely will say that on some cheaper paper they do not get as flat of tones but that doesn't matter to me personally. I use Bristol board and they work perfectly with what I use.

As soon as I saw it I clicked I been waiting for this vid

Hi ADC! Glad to see you do these two ! Thank you! Can't wait to meet my Bob

Watching your marker work is always a joy!

Anybody else click the LIKE button BEFORE the video even started because you already knew this was gonna be a GREAT watch!?

Thx for getting me into art.great drawing to day

I have waited so long for this and you nailed it. I’m glad your ok I would have missed your videos

You're in a smart shirt. My mind is truly blown 🤯 You have surpassed my favourite art RU-vidr with your presentation and enthusiasm. Love it. Keep going

This is amazing - really hard to decide but w/n definitely better value for money. Now you please have to do an final episode with all the markers you've reviewed and decide an overall winner, like Jazza did!

the positive attitude RU-vid needs.

The epic showdown These videos are amazing (Also glad you’re ok considering the storm)

I was in the middle of that storm as well, glad to see you're ok. It was insane, never have I seen that much water without it being the ocean.

Sending prayers and love from neighbouring Denmark! I just read about the storm and severe floods yesterday. It's terrible and tragic! D:

I currently live in Japan so I get my copics here cheaper than anywhere else and I am using their blend card to do my artwork Paper I used before used to bleed like crazy and layering wasn’t that great until I bought the blending card Also, another difference between the ciao and sketch markers is that ciao has less available colours compared to sketch But if you have y17 in ciao you will find the exact same y17 for sketch Overall I have to agree with your assessment, the pro markers are better because you will get more colours (if not the whole set) whereas you will have to choose for copic I can’t remember if you compared the pro markers to that Huhu marker set, but that could be another interesting comparison because if memory serves, that brand of marker is also quite cheap and have been rated quite highly Thank you for doing this piece/experiment!

I love this series please keep this contint up!!

Aaah, a fellow promarker Connoisseur. I started off with touch five markers , but the day I caught some promarkers on sale at a hobby lobby three years ago, it was a dream. I didn't know markers could rival my love of colored pencils yet here we are. I full on like their ink more than copic inks and their pricing is far more agreeable. I just WISH that prpmarkers had REFILLS. But I know the company isn't gong for it and it will jack up the prices. But man, I can go on ANY paper and have even clean strokes with no splotches. Nice coating. Easy layering. No streaks. I have mostly bullet nibs but their brush nibs are okay, a tad soft but still nice and affordable. I have 127 and they serve me fine. Just divine. Cept they die on me sometimes. As for the copic, I have copic ciao , exactly 158. The ink is blotchy and spity no matter what paper I stick it on, I haven't bothered to buy exclusive copic paper because they are already charing ridiculous prices for the markers including the reboot refills that are arguably a ripoff. They are fresh and yet they go on kinda slow and dry. I need to layer for more for the copic than I do for a promarker, which is a con for me because it takes longer. While they are slightly easier to blend with and I really like their affects so they aren't a pointless investment, it is still possible to refill them and I really like their brush tips. This the perfect firmness, I must insist I don't like the inks behavior. While I prefer promarkers, I use my copics and promarkwrs together on many pieces, the copics a d often good for shading and base layers. While the copic are good for detailing , gradients, and general blending and further renders. The inks are pretty compatible when combined, I found. And the colors each set has fill in the values/colors I'm missing from the other. Basically I have qualms with copic but they have their perks. Sad part is that I used to really want these as a kid, I'm still happy with them but I have my critisisms. But if people want brush markers that have refill but aren't AS expensive as copics, I suggest blick studio markers in the 96 set. I also suggest art n fly markers as they are pretty nice and they also have refills and it won't eat up your wallet. I think a full set of art n fly markers comes in 72, they have it on their website. Oh, another one i know of are the spectrum markers (noir, illustrator) , they also have refills available. Lastly , the Shinhan touch markers (not touch five ) are refillable. But lats i checked they were so expensive , you might be better off with copics. Ohuhu has nice brush markers in a lot of colors but they aren't refillable as of yet. Thats my thoughts.

In copies There 2 Black 100 & 110 in set A

I love the results from both sides. The Copic side reminds me of graphic novels 20 odd years ago with all that patchiness and depth of colour, but the promarker side? Love the smooth gradient of colour; there's nothing like it. I agree that the Copics should be able to handle any type of paper regardless and that really spoils it for me.

Both are great and have different finishes. Brilliant!

I like the promarker side. You're making me want to get them. I'm glad you're ok after that terrible storm. I hope everyone is well over there. Stay safe and take care!

I’m so sorry about the storm. I’m broke, but I’ll try and find a way to help. Duck’s honor. That’s really a scary thought being in a huge storm like that. I hope it all turns out ok in the end.

You could give this man any type of art medium and he would make you a whole masterpiece

This is amazing. Best RU-vid series

Looking sharp with the black shirt! I really want to start with markers and this video was helpful! Thank you

I love the look of the results, I think especially considering the cost there's not much reason to choose copics over promarkers, so it makes sense to get promarkers. Also, as a suggestion, it would be cool to see how the Arteza everblend markers looks alongside Promarkers, as that's what I have

Awesome!! I see new video I click 🔥

Why do I love your channel so much ? 🙌🏻

Promarker all day. It’s such a clean look, and wayyyyy more smooth in the transition and shading. Very well done!!

It would definitely be worth doing this comparison again on better paper just to see if the pro markers can still win without considering price. Which marker is truly best for what they are designed for being used on.

Please do finecolour markers They have over 400 colours and are lot cheaper than copic and have good quality refills and nib replace

i appreciate this video just as some technical teaching. i was given some copic markers as a gift. ive always used pencil, colored pencil, ball point pens. black felt tip pens.. in the past. i have almost zero experience with markers like this so i feel extremely lost when i try to use them. this helped a lot.

it''s so satisfying to watch till the end

He he I started watching this while drawing a loki that's meta

This video screamed jazza v ADC to me personally as you like pro and jazza uses copic 🤣🤣 awesome video as per usual x

Stay safe over there! That impact of that storm omg

Yes I have been waiting for this dude

This video is literally Expensive vs Expensive😂

As soon as I saw I clicked you should make cheap vs expensive videos more often

Absolutely... GLORIOUS!

Wow. I'm so glad you did this video. I've been trying to decide which to invest in. You make some really interesting points. Thank you!

More like REALLY EXPENSIVE vs. Da Vinci’s personal collection

Thanks for saving our wallet senseii :v god bless u

Love your videos man all the way from 🇯🇲

Wow.. Exactly when the storm and big flood in Germany and Belgium happened. Glad you guys are alright.. Look forward for your next contents.

Imagine Jazza gives ADC his Copic collection for a REAL test of Copic vs Promarker Make it happen ADC

I had the complete set of Promarkers, but I found them completely overshadowed by Copics. So I took a few years to get the full set of Copics and have never used my Promarkers since!

I have family living in kerpen......it was in the middle of the areas that got "hit" by the storm!...luckaly they didnt get "hit"!....hope your friends and family are doing well and all are safe!.....awesome vid, thanks for sharing!

Great video, love the artwork! I use both pro markers and Copic markers and honestly the main difference is only the price point. For most artists paper is always a factor and most artists will choose the paper that suits the what’s they’re using. You don’t use copy paper or regular paper with watercolors right. Both are great sets and as you proved, both can give you excellent results. Overall great video.

"There are no mistakes just happy accidents"- Bob Ross

Crazy prices, they look great though. Based on this video I like how the promarkers look over the copic. Suppose I'll just stick with my Ohuhu markers. They get the job done and look good without breaking the bank.

You know guys honestly the best thing I have is to hear only one poem about a new subscriber 😀🙃

GLORIOUS PURPOSE!

“$500 is cheep!” I can buy a PlayStation 5 with that...

Have you ever used the chanemeleon markers would love a video on them. Also I prefer copic marker mainly because I haven't tired anything else 🙃

ive been using copics for my life and I just ordered a promarker manga set, I'm excited to see the differences, thanks for the inspiration! :)

Those blends on the windsor and newtons are so smooooooooth.

I order my pro markers from Jackson’s art and I live in the US. They are still cheaper and better than the copics.

Not art related .... but man, that shirt looks good on you 😎

nice work lovem it

I been waiting for this

Admit it ADC, you went a little TOO overboard for the price of the expensive side in the title 😂

So what he is saying is, I use sketch paper because I can abuse it. "I'm really good with the cheap markers. I'm not very skilled with the really amazing expensive markers".

sup artattack! love your videos!!

Oh gosh I hope everyone is okay after the peer cut also great video like always 🦆🦆

“I bought this collection just for the intro” Me: give

Lil but click bait with the prices 😂

Amazing!

Great talent !!

I do think the Coptic markers have done a better job with this piece

I have a handful of both pro and sketch markers (mostly from art subscription boxes) but my marker of choice is Ohuhu (I have both the bullet and brush) and to be honest I really don't find a big difference other than price. Your truly paying for the name

I was more excited that you drew Loki then I was about the markers.

Awesome, Anthony. I note with the lighter colors of copic I have to do more than one layer

I think the shading/blending on the Copic side look a lot more dynamic.... at least from the camera angle we see. Well done on both tho! I love this series!

Super cool!

Pro Marker is better bang for your buck, but I have to say love the grunge texture that the Copics lay down when you are using them! I know they technically aren't supposed to do that but it looks like a piece of art versus just printed on.

Amazing. I have Ohuhu markers and still trying to get the hang of blending

I've never heard of pro marker here in Canada 🇨🇦. But now I definitely want to try them. The blending and layering techniques you showed are really helpful. I like the base colour idea. I will try this. Thanks.

I draw this in Live with you , i love you and your work . Thanks so much for the content

Omg.. really sorry to hear about your family/friends. I've been following that story on the news and I wondered if you were affected. Wishing you all the best from Michigan.

Fantastic job
