  1. What Paper should you Use with Copic Markers? Artists are very particular about what supply they use and how beneficial is it for their work. And if you a sketch color artist, then you might proudly possess one of the best alcoholic markers in the business, i.e., Copic markers. Known for working in the best manner possible, these markers are every artist's dream come true. Copic markers are refillable, their nib can be changed, and they make for a one-time investment. But the only stress that comes with these markers is that on which paper should these markers be used to avoid any spoiling? While using Copic markers, it becomes crucial that we have a thorough or at least a good understanding of different types of papers that suits the nature of these markers. Bad paper selection can lead to leakage of ink on the other side of the paper, which

  2. would eventually lead to a bad sketching experience. So, below is a list of varying papers that can be used as per your need. Have a look-  High Gloss Inkjet Film- High Gloss Inkjet Film or Yupo paper is apt to maintain the vibrancy of your markers as this paper does not absorb any color. Due to its gloss coating absorption of the ink becomes impossible, which results in no mixing of ink. Thus, choose these papers if your art requires no blending.  Bleedproof Paper- Bleedproof paper is mostly 75 GSM, is lightweight, and semi- transparent. It comes in a bright white hue and has a texture that doesn’t let Copic markers bleed and keeps the lines crisp. Perfect for sketching portraits and botanical sketches.  Blending Card- Blending card is 250 GSM, has a bright white shade, and an ultra-smooth surface for a gliding-smooth finish. This paper has a high saturation point but it is advised to use mat board under it to avoid spoilage of ink on the surface.  Watercolor Paper- Watercolor papers come in varying weights and have a smooth texture that allows the ink to seep in. These papers are perfect for blending the inks and gives an astonishing outcome. But, while using these papers make sure you have smooth surfaced sheets as the rough ones would destroy the nib of your markers.  Bond Paper- The bond paper is the cheap alternative meant for sketching or preliminary drafting. This paper has a light to medium weight with a smooth finish, however, this paper is not bleed-proof. Thus, keeping a matboard is suitable and saves you from the mess. So, now that you know what all papers respond in what manner to the Copic markers, purchase the papers, wisely.
