OVERALL THOUGHTS - you cant really compare copics vs these pens because they are different products, copics are alcohol based whereas these are watercolor pens. however, you dont have to use these with water, you can get a really vibrant saturated look. i LOVE these pens, i love how EASY it is to blend, it is truly EFFORTLESS. these are perfect for coloring and bonus you can create watercolor looks where that would be quite hard and nearly impossible to do with copics. for the stamps that i use and the looks that i like i think these markers would do all what i want/need. overall you have to get a deal on these and if you do it is SO MUCH CHEAPER than copics. i still love my copics though but dont always have the time to invest in practicing which is what you need with copics, you have to practice practice practice, but you get gorgeous results, especially with HAIR, i dont know if you could get the same results with the zig pens because i havent tried. anyways i love the results i got using them the first time, love these!
