The Copic Sketch Markers
My top 5 Copic Sketch Markers for rendering lips.
One of my favorite and most used pinks. Beautiful for lips and what I used for the first look in the tutorial. Also great for rendering clothes. I use this marker a lot!
Copic Sketch Marker - Rose Pink R81
Rich beauitful shade that channels those 90s dark lip vibes. Love this color for lips and clothing. Highly recommend.
Copic Sketch Marker - Argyle Purple RV99
Beloved shade of red, deep, rich, and moody. I used this in the third look. A go-to of mine for my PaperDolls.
Copic Sketch Marker - Dark Red R89
As the name of suggests, this is a perfect lipstick color and I think great for a natural lip as well. Used in the 4th look and one that I highly recommend if you are just starting out and building your Copic collection.
Copic Sketch Marker - Lipstick Rose, E04
Sister to R81, and a much loved, and heavily used color for lips and clothing for my PaperDolls. A must!
Copic Sketch Marker - Rose Red R85

The other items and supplies that I use and mention and recommend during the lip tutorial.
I use White Prisma color pencil for details and highlights on dark lip colors. A must for fashion illustrations.

White gel pens are great for adding detail and highlights. This set has a good range of sizes.
Sakura Gelly Roll Opaque White Pen - Set of 3
The white acrea in this set is really good for those details and highlights. Can also be bought on it's own. This is the set I have.

Love this set for outlines and details. For outlining lips I'll use 0.05
