Copic pens - Worth the money?

[blurredlines]

Ok so dd 11 has a real talent for art as in sketching and animation etc. So has asked for a set of Copic pens. Quick search online for £292 for 72 on ebay! So possible a xmas present now but can anyone tell me if they are worth the money? Thanks

DD says yes (also manga/arty). But you don't need 72! They blend quite well. Try a smaller set first and try here www.tigerpens.co.uk/copic/b11

I've just spotted these.
I'd buy some second hand first to see how much she uses them. Although I think they will probably sell for quite a lot more.
They are really good.
I did the same for DD, they are now in my 'box of things to sell on EBay if I can be bothered'!

Thanks very much. Might start with a smaller set first !

Watch out on Black Friday - Amazon have run a good offer the past couple of years - usually on the Ciao pen sets. Personally I prefer Tombow brush pens as they are water based and not alcohols so they blend in a different way to Copics which might not be what your DD if after
