These reliably good markers won't let you down, delivering consistent, attractive colour across a range of surfaces. They'll last a lifetime, as you can replace the tips and refill the inks, and are versatile, with a super brush nib on one end and a medium broad nib on the other. This six-pack is a good starter set, which can be built on in future once you get the Copic bug - and there's no doubt you will.

Price From £16/$19.99

The Ohuhu Kaala series consists of four sets. There's one for illustration, one for landscapes, one for skin tones, and basic tones to get you started. They're all a joy to work with. Coverage is clean, even, and dries quickly, and they were easy to hold and work with for long periods. Which set you choose will depend on what you're after, but you can't go wrong with the illustration set.
