you know. I think I'm gonna switch back to pastel chalk and colored pencils. I love my markers but I'm getting to the point where I think I need to retire my copics till I can get a new set... which I don't know when that will be.... they are just so expensive. even buying a single copic marker is almost $8.00 and I can by an entire set of chalks and colored pencils for that price each.

@LensaMoon You do know that Copic markers are refillable, and replacement tips are available, too?

@LensaMoon Would you like comments/suggestions, or should I leave you alone about it?

@LensaMoon Honestly, I just pull out the chisel tip of the marker (either with the official tweezer thing or by wrapping it in tissue so I don't get ink on my hands), hold the marker upright, drip 20-30 drops of ink into the opening, and shove the chisel tip back in, and it doesn't seem like a big deal to me.But if you need a demonstration, do you have a local shop where you could buy a refill and ask for a demonstration?

@Anke I don't think I do honestly. the acMoores in my town is closing and. I don't like going into Michael's. which sells copic markers but I highly doubt they would demonstrate it for me... :( thank you for trying to help me tho. and honestly. I do wanna get back into pastel chalks and such. I miss getting my hands dirty. lol it pleases me. :p

@LensaMoon @Anke if I may...I Yank the chisel tip off my copics with tissue and refill accordingly. I screwed up early on and overfilled so they leaked eveverywhere. it'll feel like youre going to do damage but you wont. the chisel tips are damn durable (as are the nibs, be wary of yanking the brush tips unless they need replacement) Amazon and the main copic sites sell ink and nibs/tips. I normally buy the empty ones and fill them with special white board or *thick* fountain pen inks instead of the official ones.nothing like scaring my co workers by drawing on my white board with refillable markers and special white boars inks 😃

@kemonine Yeah, the over-filling is why I don't insert the tip of the refill bottle into the marker like they're designed for, but hold it jsut above the marker and drip, so I can count drops.@LensaMoon
