What's the difference between Classic, Sketch, and Ciao?
What was your first Copic Marker?
The most common answer is definitely Copic Sketch, which is known and used around the world by beginners, professionals, and everyone in-between. But maybe you got your start with Ciao… or you're one of the OGs, and you started off with Copic Classic! But what are each of these markers? Let's take a look at each of them individually.
