Art supplies! Who doesn't love to collect art supplies!?

I'm incredibly excited to share today's prize with you. Copic has generously contributed a set of their Ciao Too
artist-quality markers. I've been researching markers heavily all year
and Copic stands tall at the top of the list. Not only does Copic offer
their markers in scores of colors, with a variety of nibs to choose from, but Copic markers are also refillable and blendable. That's rightโ€”blendable. The ink flows smoothly and colors can be blended together without glaring streaks or stripes.

They make several styles of markers which hold differing amounts of
ink, but follow the same color system. The Ciao markers
here come with a brush tip on one end and a chisel tip on the other.
With some product lines, you can choose which nibs you like best and
swap them out as you see fit. Most of their markers are
double-endedโ€”except for the super-duper wide ones.

One popular style, the Copic Sketch marker, can be attached to their proprietary air-brush system where
colors swap out easily and there's no fussy clean-up.

I'm just mesmerized by these. Like every product I'm including in the
giveaways this month, I contacted the company because I genuinely love
what they do. I have been fawning over this prize ever since it arrived
at the studio on Monday. Someone is going to be one lucky duck.

CopicCutout_300Copic
markers are top-of-the-line. They don't come cheaply, but they do their
job fantastically and they maintain their value quite well. With refillable alcohol-inks and replaceable nibs, these valuable tools can be used in perpetuity.

They work great for fabric studies and that works for me. I love them.

So, here's your chance to get hooked on these amazing markers too. Today's winner will receive this 24 pack of Copic Ciao Too markers. A $130 value. Thank you, Copic!

  1. These markers would be such an inspiration. I have ideas brewing but am finding it hard to sit down and start!

  2. Oh My Goodness!!! How I would love for my daughter, Frannie (who is 12,) to win a set a copic markers. She is an up and coming artist who uses markers as her medium. Last Christmas she asked for a sketchbook and a set of pro markers as her gift. The copic were a little over my budget and I had a settle for a lesser brand. What a great way this would be to while away the hours before school starts!

  3. Awesome! We had them in the last agency I worked for and they are sooooo great. What a lovely givaway… and maybe the perfect one to get me drawing and sketching again?

  4. Copic Markers??? My favorite for sure!!! I have 5…yup just 5 Copics so I’d love a set to play with! Thank you, Heather for offering these today;)

  5. Hi Heather, I would LOVE to win these pens. I spent yesterday looking online to buy these after hearing about them for various uses. Then I come online this morning to find your offer! How exciting ๐Ÿ˜‰
    Have a great birthday month!
    Michelle

  6. If I were lucky enough to win this, I’d give the markers to my artistic sister — and have her draw something for me!

  7. Oh my! Those are expensive markers. I just bought myself a $10 set of crayolas. But these look and sound so much better!!! I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed for this one.

  8. Ooo!! These markers have been on my list for quite some time but the pricetag, I just can’t do it. Blendable markers? Think of the possibilities! These are going to make someone very, very happy. ๐Ÿ™‚

  9. I’ve been taking an art class for the last two weeks and learning lots of new things – these would be great to try out!

  10. Hi Heather,
    Would love to win these markers. My daughter loves to draw and I think she would get so much use from these!!
    Thanks,
    Jodie

  11. I always eye these when I’m looking for new markers. I haven’t been willing to take the plunge because of the price tag. What a fabulous giveaway!

  12. Oh, I’d love these! I just saw last night someone coloring in a print and thought how awesome it would be to make something for my wall.

  13. I have seen the wonderful results of Copic Markers but never had the pleasure of trying them out myself. Thanks so much for the chance!!!

  14. I LOVE Copics!! What an amazing collection of colors too! Everything a young designer (like me) would need! ๐Ÿ˜‰

  15. Copics really are quite wonderful. ๐Ÿ˜€ It’s great that you’re doing giveaways, particularly during August!

  16. Oh wow. Those look amazing and I’ve heard great things about them. All my favourite artists seem to use them.

  17. Thank you for the great giveaway. Have loved what I’ve heard about Copic markers, but I have not been able to afford them yet. So I would love to win some.
    Happy Birthday Month!

  18. Oh my gosh what a wonderful giveaway. I have 4 of these markers and I treasure them. I love he brightness , ease of use , and they are very lonely and need company. This giveaway would make them and me much happier ๐Ÿ™‚ Thank you for the chance ๐Ÿ™‚

  19. I would SO love to win these markers. I won ONE. What can I do with just one marker? Please, please, I hope I win.

  20. I would LOVE to win these!!!!! I’ve tried Copic before but they’re so expensive I haven’t been able to get my hands on a set!!! I’d just about explode with giddiness if I won these!! =D

  21. Is it wrong that the sight of these makes me a bit giddy? ;o)… oh, the creative possibilities…
    Love that Copic markers are blendable, refillable and come in such gorgeous colours.
    Thanks for another fabulous giveaway, Heather!

  22. wonderful giveaway, hopefully the one who wins will put them to good use. I know I will if I somehow miraculously manage to win. good luck everyone!

  23. What a wonderful giveaway! I only have a couple of Copics… So many times you can only “win” Copics by entering a coloring contest, which means you already have some of them. I love the markers but can’t afford to buy the amount of markers it would require to even enter the coloring contests!! Would sooooo love to win these!

  24. Love these markers and the ability to make really nice cards using them. Am wondering at what age to turn my 8 yr old granddaughter loose with them!

  25. I absolutely adore using Copic markers. Like you said the blendability of them is amazing and they’re so wonderfully vibrant and don’t streak at all! I’ve only got a couple in my collection but the couple I have are certainly prized. It’s cool that you give things away during your birth month, that’s definitely different. Happy Birthday!

  26. Oh! These markers are something I’ve always longed for. I love drawing a lot and could only afford to use color pencils but hope I would one day buy these Copic markers. Thanks for hosting such a great giveaway. ^O^

  27. Ooo I have been lusting after these for a while. Got the flesh tone kit not to long ago and I love these. Would be an awesome prise for anyone.

  28. My! What an amazing prize. I love the limitless potential bottled in these pens and your description of them is not helping me turn any less green. Would certainly love to have these to play with. Gorgeous colours!

  29. That is amazing for a giveaway, very generous of Copics . And very kind of you. Thank you, for this opportunity to increase my stash .

    Hugs

  30. I just started learning how to color images with Copics. It is so much fun!! I used to only use them to color my embellishments for my cards(saves a lot of money, just by the clear ones and color) because I was so intimidated by them. It’s not hard at all and You Tube has so many tutorials. I also follow this blog and many others that also teach you how to use them. I would love to win this Ciao set!!!

  31. I have been wanting copic markers for a longgg time. I been seeing other artists on YouTube and these markers leave a >bb< look to their artwork. The blending in these is the best so far and it would be my joyous day if I win this. These markers , to me, are expensive but I can understand because they're so great. However, I dont have that amount of money to get me one right now :/. So I really hope I win!

  32. Stellar! I adore copic. Just indulged in a Toner Gray set… Cheers! Thanks for the opportunity to be involved in this give-away.

  33. Would LOVE to win these! I am a beginner and don’t have many Copics to go on just yet, so this would be wonderful!

  34. I have been watching YouTube videos of the Copic markers. I love the vibrant colors and the shading possibilities they bring. I would love to have them to use with stamps when making cards. Great product.

  35. Happy Birthday! What a magnificent way to celebrate.
    I love Copics and use them in my illustrations and collages. They’re probably the best art pen on the market. ๐Ÿ™‚

  36. I found your site thru the Copic Facebook page. What a score! Already bookmarked for future reference. Thanks for the giveaways too. Cool beans.

  37. I just started using these and I love them. Super fun to play with and they have such wonderful colors! Thanks for the chance ๐Ÿ™‚

  38. I have 10 Copics that I do use. They are yellows so I could color flowers so some new colors would be welcome. Thanks for hosting this fabulous giveaway.

  39. These look amazing! Cant wait to create something beautiful! You’re doing a fantastic job on these giveaways!

  40. Happy birthday month:) i really hope i win the giveaway im in high school and i cant afford copic markers:D

  41. I love Copic. I have a bunch of sketch markers and live them, but some Ciao markers would definitely help me with my artwork. #differentmarkersdifferentstrokes

  42. Happy Birthday Month! My awesome son also shares this month! I love Copics, and would love to add to my collection!

  43. These would be completely AMAZING!!
    I would love to introduce these to my older Montessori art students…to inspire creativity! They wold love them!

  44. Love art supplies! My favorite thing to collect, I have quite the stash and these would be an awesome addition!!

  45. Oooh, how I would love to win them. I do love copics, but they’re so gosh-darn expensive!!
    Thank you SO much for doing this!

  46. I have been drooling over these for a while now. Markers that blend? Yes, please! AND Refillable?! Yup, they made it to my wish list fast!!! ๐Ÿ™‚

  47. I love Copic marker! They have a huge colour collection and I like the smoothly of the marker when I draw. Loving it and is an awesome brand that everyone must own a set~

  48. Happy Birthday month! Hope the kids are feeling better!
    These look awesome. I’m a sucker for the rainbow wash of colors !

  49. I love, love, love, love (did I mention love?) my Copic markers. I’ve spent an obscene amount of money on the ones I have, but there isn’t a single marker out there that compares to the beautiful hues and strong colors or the blendability. I’d pass out if I won these!

  50. I have copic markers and I know how pricey these can be, but I had the same 2 markers for 4 years already and they still work.I love these markers it makes my art and everyone else art pop.

  51. I really love these markers, I bought five of them all different variations of blue to have a tonal range……….. I need more colors.

  52. Oh, my! I have wanted to get a set of copics for awhile, but I really couldn’t afford them. I would love the chance to win. Thanks!

  53. I love Copic markers. I watch tons of YouTube videos, watching all the ways they use the markers!
    I love learning the random tips and tricks you can use with them!
    I wish I had a variety of colors!

  54. Oh how I have wanted to try Copics!! This prize would start quite a collection!! Thanks, Copic, for helping Heather with her giveaways!!

  55. These look fantastic! What fun to have “blendable” markers. I did not even know they made such a thing! Truly nice of you to host this give away. Would love to have this collection of markers.
    Have a lovely day.

  56. oh my gosh! what a giveaway! these pens are amazing! <3 a friend of mine had a few of the collection and i was obsessed! LOVE!

  57. What a great giveaway! I am itching to own a set of Copic markers and would be giddy if I won this awesome set!!

  58. These look amazing. As an art teacher, I feel like I know art materials, but I had no idea these were blend able and refillable. So cool! *fingers-crossed*

  59. I thank you for the chance to win. I Love Copics, I have started my collection, the inks are very pretty and wonderful quality. The colors blend nicely.

  60. I don’t know if I’m too late to enter for this amazing giveaway?! I just bought some Copic markers a few weeks ago to work on some designs…in love with them!! I follow their Instagram, twitter, FB and blog via e-mail! I would love this opportunity to win these!!! Thank you for always being so inspiring and being so generous!!!

  61. Wooow!! It’s like a dream box!!! I have few copic markers but just only my favorite colors. Such an amazing pen! It’s gonna be so fun to doodle with that much of colors! Happy to be colorful ๐Ÿ™‚

  62. I only have the Copic sketch markers and I love the colors and their brightness. I would love to try out the Caio’s because they look more compact and I could take them with me when I travel. Thanks for the opportunity.

  63. We love Copics–the whole family enjoys coloring and experimenting with them–and we would love to add to our collection!

  64. My heart started racing and I almost hyperventilated when I recognized the markers. I knew the brand and that they were ciao’s instantly. These markers are my addiction. I’m fifteen years old and I’m on the road to becoming an artist. I’ve seen some of your art, mainly your watercolor work and its beautiful! I’m learning how to work with multiple different media, there is always room for improvement and I hope to become as good as you are one day!
    This is a piece I did a few months ago, I used a few markers for the eyes & facial details and watercolors for the background & larger areas.

It would mean a lot if I could be entered in th giveaway even though I’m pretty late ๐Ÿ™ thanks

Winning a set would just be heaven! I like to color in stamped images, and currently use watercolor pencils. They are fun, but I *really* want to work with Copics. I’m crossing my fingers…
