**VIDEO** Copic Sketch vs. Shinhan Touch Twin Brush

July 3, 2015

Happy Friday! I am so excited to share today’s video with you all – it has been one of the most highly requested video I got from you guys and I’m glad to say “I am ready to share!”

I have been searching for the perfect alcohol based marker that would replace Copic Sketch markers for me for a while and I was so excited to find Shinhan Touch Twin Brush Markers. These are the closest to Copic Sketch markers that I’ve tried and give me very similar or even better coloring experience compare to Copics. And yes, their price is also so great!!

I have packed lots of information and comparisons in today’s video so I hope you will watch it from the beginning to the end! Also I will list all the shops that sell both of these markers at the bottom of today’s post.

Overall Thoughts:

One of the most important factors that I looked into when searching for the perfect Copic alternatives was the brush tips. A lot of markers that I’ve tried didn’t have that brush tip that Copic sketch markers have. Bullet tip or fine tip did not work for me – so I was very excited to find that Touch Twin Brush Markers have awesome brush tips on theirs. They are firm and bouncy at the same time and works great for detailed images and for flicking motions.

Another great tip to remember: You can use Copic Sketch markers and Shinhan Touch Twin Brush markers together! They work really well together and you can mix and match colors without any problem. I have about 70 of Copic markers and will be switching to Touch Twin Brush markers, but will still use my Copics with them. So, if you already started out with Copics but want to try Touch Twin markers, you can still do so!

I believe these are great markers that worth a try. And the price is great for those who are just starting out and those who are wanting to collect more color palettes.

Blending Comparison:

Below are some close up pictures of my blending comparisons of these two markers:

This is a quick test to see how well these markers lay down colors on a cardstock.

They both work really well and nicely saturated. However, Copic Sketch makers tend to bleed more than the Touch Twin Brush markers.

Ink smearing test: When you wait couple minutes after stamping an image and then color on top of it, both markers do not smudge the black inks. However, when you do not wait after stamping an image, some black inks will smear (see the first pic on the top).

Where to get these markers:

The sites I am listing here carry both of the Copic Sketch Markers and Shinhand Touch Twin Brush Markers. I highly recommend that you compare the prices and see which one would work best for you.

    Happy Holidays and for those who are celebrating, Merry Christmas- Many of us are spending today in an unusual way this year, and many of us are also remembering those we lost. I ask that you keep others in your thoughts this holiday season 💕 sending hugs and loves to your way ❤️❤️

Made cookies and cheesecake brownies for our next door neighbors who are spending today alone. I added a little touch with stamps and inks to dress up the cookie boxes 🎁

    Happy view 🥰🥰 New ink storage system for my office/studio desk. I wanted the most used inks right at my fingertips and these Alex drawers hold them perfectly. I am keeping both full sized and cubes together, along with 1 mini cube blending tool for each color family. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 #scrapsandstamps #inkstorage #craftroom #craftroomorganization #homestudio
    Good morning and happy Saturday lovlies!! 👋🏻👋🏻 I just realized my last post about 3-4 months ago was a glance at my studio. Lots of things happened in the past few months and Ive been just too stressed out that I lost my desire to craft. 😣Its been a rough yr for everyone and Im ready for a new start! 😍 Are you?? Im going to start working towards getting some routines where I can feel better and add creativity back to life. Why wait till Jan? We can start now 💕

I just moved and finally got around to finishing up my studio. Im such a perfectionist that it took me a while to get everything where I wanted. 😅 Im happy how it turned out and grateful that I can still have a place to work and craft. Im excited to share projects with you soon 🥰🥰🥰

    Took a couple of days off this week to recharge - mental break helps a lot! 👍🏻 While I enjoyed stay-home break, I finished swatching all of #danielsmithwatercolors - now I’ll build my own palette from these and start doing some watercolor with them. Seeing all these made me really happy 🥰🥰 Swatching watercolors are one of my fav ways to distress. What creative projects are you working on this weekend?? #watercolorswatches #watercolor #danielsmithwatercolor #danielsmithartistsmaterials #colorswatches

    I decided to do something new and challenging during this #stayathome time. Took a beginner calligraphy class by @piecescalligraphy and I cant believe how fast 90min went by!! 😍😍 I have a lot of practice to do but really enjoyed learning. These are some of the things we did. My p’s are pretty horrible 😂😂 Cant wait for the next session!

    Happy Monday everyone- 💕💕 I was itching for a change so the other day I moved things around a bit in my studio. (This happens more often than not 😂) Even just a tiny bit of change can bring a big difference and give a fresh feel to your daily norm. Controlling what we can and not losing hope 🙏🏻 I wish you a fabulous and lovely week ahead 💙

    More therapeutic watercoloring session - I find taking the time to color each image with watercolor really helps me to relax. I think it has to do with a slow moving, soft transition of the pigments and water.

This card was made using a brand new #altenewstatementflowers stamp set and #altenewspringgarden
