Yes, it doesn't, does it? The toungue is too small and should be wide enough to touch both ends of the mouth.

Thanks! I only have like 16 copic markers. Not a lot to choose from.

I appreciate your comments

Yes, but they come in 322 colors, and with 9 interchangeable nibs no less. They are not exactly cheap are they? In the U.S. you can get a set of 12 (plus 1 free) for US$39 which is 8775 Krona (that seems like a lot of Krona's) OR US$2.99 which is 672.75 Krona each. [link] So is they really expensive for you?

I just realized I have a set of these. They all dried up on me, so I will probably toss them.

When I looked it up, I found this:

I don't know if you realize this, but I am pretty much unable to do art anymore, as I am somewhat crippled. So you may see me make mistakes a lot because my brain is messed up by drugs for the pain. Forgetting I had the pens is part of it.

no, they aren't cheap. 12 pens for 8775... is a lot. Our currency isn't exactly at it's best right now, anyways.

Oh, I saw the journal when looking at your page. So, yes, I was aware. Drugs and their damn side-effects... :c

I wish I could help. Such is life... You would love having lots of colors, but then we always manage to make do with what we can get. So it is a testament to you skill that you are doing so well with so little. It makes you more impressive, right? At least they are refillable, if you have a place to buy refills.

Yes, I hear there are problems in Iceland with the banking system, and we have them now too. It is going to be difficult for a while, then it will get better, it always does.

CHEERS !

Heh, the icelandic government is corrupt. Shoot 'em all. XD All the rich bigwigs are all the other rich bigwigs friends and cover for each other.

Refills? nooo idea. I bought mine in the states. One of the felt tips have dried out.. the lid managed to come off by itself while in my bag.

All governments are corrupt because power and money corrupts. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

You can make your own color blends by buying empty markers and mixing inks to fill it.

Did you know they even have an Opaque white

Technique: Rub one marker on another: "You will take your lightest green marker you used in step 2 and "pick up the darker green" by rubbing the light green marker tip onto the dark. This will not ruin your markers, don't panic."
