Copic Sketch Fine Nibs

September 4, 2017 by Sandy Allnock 6 Comments [featured_image}

Before getting to this post, an update as of 2020: I no longer like these nibs. Why? Well I have found that if I do need a thin line, I can get that from careful use of the Super Brush nib. These bullet nibs have alcohol ink in them – which means they’ll bleed/spread, so they’re not giving you a line the way a waterbased marker would. That said, some people love them – so rock on. I haven’t found that they work badly or anything, just that I don’t have a use for them in my art.

I posted a video over on my 2nd channel a while back – but have had lots more questions since. So today – a quick update with suggestions on choosing pens you might want to swap out nibs on! Here’s the other channel first:

And now, today’s project:

Here’s the full clean and simple card – sometimes easy is best, eh?

    Oh thank you! I bought a couple of packs of the new fine nibs a while back, and had all the questions you predicted! Now I have a better idea of how I want to use them and which markers I’ll want to change-out. Thanks, also for the valuable tip about not pushing them in too far – I probably would’ve ruined one nib, for sure! What WOULD we do without you?!
