*IMPORTANT NOTE:* _Thank you to_ *Myriam V* _for informing me that an important piece of information in this video was no longer accurate. Copic has stopped making replacement nibs for their Multiliner SP aluminum body models. This is extremely disappointing, as that is the primary reason for buying these expensive pens. While I stand behind the information presented in the video, the lack of replacement nibs is a deal breaker and I can no longer necessarily recommend the product, beyond basic use. My apologies for any confusion._

Welp, guess I'll stick with microns then.

Once again a very informative video. My husband has been a micron user for years but they always seem to run out of ink. Going to get him a set of the COPICS for him to try. Thank you for this video!

Thank you so much, Lucinda Lilicy. Sadly, I refer you to the pinned comment I posted at the top of the Comments. I just learned from a viewer that Copic stopped supporting their replacement parts for the SP products. It's a shame, really. Still, the plastic model is still a great product and I recommend checking them out. Micron pens are still fantastic, in my opinion. Cheers!

Thanks Mark for this awesome video. It is nice to go even inside the pen. It is very informative. Thanks again and keep sharing your wounderful experience.

Thank you, ismail abdelhamid, for your kind words and time watching. I pinned an important note at the top of the Comments, altering viewers that I learned that Copic no longer supports the replacement nibs. Very disappointing to learn this, as that was a big selling point for the SP pens. Ah well! Take care, Mark

Good information and I always enjoy watching you draw. Copic discontinued making replacement nibs for the Copic Multiliner SP back in July 2021. You might still be able to find them in some stores, but when they run out of stock, that'll be it. Copic still makes the ink refills though. Just thought you might like to know.

Thank you, Myriam V, for the update on the replacement nibs. I've pinned an note at the top of the comments alerting viewers. What a terrible decision by Copic! I just read their blurb (buried deep on their website) saying "sorry" and hoping we "understand." It would have been more prudent to pull the whole product line, since the main selling point is the replacement parts. I'm really disappointed, as these are such a great product. Sad to see them take such a tumble. Anyhow, thank you again, and also, thank you for your kind words! I really appreciate your feedback! ~ Mark

Their BS nib for the SP is the best felt tip brush I've ever seen, by a mile. No signs of fraying still. I guess replacement nibs would be too much power for mere mortals...😔

Your videos are jam-packed with wonderful information! I am learning so much from you! Thank you so very much!!!

Thank you so much, Marie H. That means a lot!

Great video. I used to have a very nice Rapidograph set 20 plus years ago while in college. We were required to have them for our geology courses when we still had to ink geologic maps and stratigraphic columns by hand. They were beautiful pens and I wish I still had them. (Too many moves and they got lost 😢). Currently I just use micron pens but have found the sepia colored copics and I have been really enjoying them. My 12 year son has recently started inking fantasy maps for his D and D worlds he has been dreaming up. He was amazed by the microns and managed to run a couple pens out of ink (they were pretty old though).

Thank you for checking this one out, The Keefners! Your story sounds like mine. I lost my Staedtler-Mars pens in one of my many moves after college, which bums me out! I'm thinking of maybe reinventing in a set at some point. I did hate cleaning them, though; I'm a fanatic and had to make sure each filament was completely cleaned when I put the set away. As for your 12 year old, that is so awesome! Of our four kids (all over 21 now), only two are visually creative and between them, only one is serious, but as a hobby. Weird, right? lol! Micron pens are excellent and I will always put them up with the Copics. Funny, I had a set of the sepia pens in my hand yesterday and thought, "Am I ever going to use these?" I will re-consider them the next time, by your recommendation! Thanks for that and for your thoughtful comment! Cheers! ~ Mark

Thank you so much for your sharing. I enjoy using pens too, but have ever fountain pens

Thank you, Made by Dawn! I used to love fountain pens, but when one of them leaked in my travel bag and ruined everything inside it, I swore I'd never use another one. Dip pens are great, but even with those, I've knocked over a couple of bottles of ink over the years. lol!!

Love me Copic multi liners, I’ve got the plastic ones, have just discovered there coloured inks and I’m having a blast. I’ve never seen the other ones so will keep an eye out at the art store. Another pen I favour is the Tombo blue pen with the flexible nib, like that I can get different lines with this pen, use it a lot for line and wash. Your sketch book paper looked great and I liked the size of the pages. Loved the drawing.

Thank you for your kind words, paula lister! You know, I've seen the Tombo pens at the local Blick store (I say "local" but it's an hour away! lol!) and have always been tempted to check them out. I may have to add them to my list! Good "tip." (see what I did there? "Tip!") cheers! ~ Mark

I'd like the refillable ones. Especially the SP Brush Pen seems to be quite thirsty.

@@MDCampbell I think I can live with that. The nibs probably last multiple ink refills.

I use graphix fineliners and recently got a pack of sta brand fineliners and they are amazing

I just bought some sp multiliners. I have the 0.05 and the 0.03. I've worn down the felt nib on the 0.05 and one of the 0.03 pens and I ran out of ink one each. Now, the reason I got them is because I love doing my final extra light shading with the smallest nib I can get, which is the 0000, or 0.13 mm, or 0.03 in. I have trouble with all, the technical pen, the sakura micron, and the copic. The Sakura Microns run out of ink fast, but only on the 0.03 nibs. The Copic's wear down to the metal. On the Technical pens, I have Reform and Koh-I-Noor and the 0.13 nibs stop flowing too early and that is after cleaning them in the rapidograph pen cleaner and knowing that they are clean with fresh ink. I don't have this problem with any larger nibs, even the 0.18. Any advice on the technical pens would be much appreciated. I love dip pens, but can't get lines as small as the 0.13.

Hi Mark, somehow I missed this video. Anyhow, my drawing ability sucks. I know, it is partly or mostly because i don't practice. My point is that I am not qualified to have an opinion on pens partly because i don't have them. I have micron pens which I do love. They work great on making zentangles. Somewhere, I have a couple of copic multiliners. The plastic kind. Your art as always is amazing!

The LEXUS vs the TOYOTA. Both are great but one is meant to last a lifetime.

Bought a set of copic sp nearly 20 years ago now. I passed them o to my kid about 3 years ago for design school. Just ordered a new set for myself. Only ever had to replace 1 tip in all that time and it was on the pen i used the least. My friend either dropped it or kindergarten mashed it not too sure. But well worth the investment. I had gone through piles of disposable including a few copic brand.

How would you say they compare to a rotring isograph? That has been my go to pen in the past, but they no longer make them and the replacement nibs that are left are becoming expensive due to scarcity value.

Thanks for the thoughtful question @peterdrought9334. Rotring is a brand with a well-earned reputation and like most other technical pens, the Isograph products are extremely reliable and well-suited for fine drawing and drafting. But, as you stated, the expense of them nowadays makes them hard to recommend, if you can find them. Full sets go upwards of $60-80 dollars and individual pens can run up to $30 each. If they were readily available, then yes - a goto pen, for sure; however, like the Copics, once the company decides to abandon the product then we're all left to sit looking for the next best thing, which I have yet to find.
