While working on several projects, I have had a selection of Copic markers colorfully strewn across my art table. There is a fifty-fifty chance of opening the brush tip end, but I found that I was consistently opening the chisel end. It almost became comical.
I finally realized that one end has a clear plastic band around the neck and this is the end that has the brush tip. This was so helpful as the side with the little icons is not always facing up.
I might be the last one to have noticed this, but you if find yourself losing the battle at guessing like I was, I wanted to share this Copic “tip” with you.
Smiles,
Elizabeth
