However, black and white seems tasteless. If you draw a line with a pencil, add some color. Colored pencils or Copics are recommended. Copics have a total of 358 colors, which is probably the largest number of markers available in Japan. Copics are specially designed for drawing and can draw and color more beautifully than other marker pens. It is also easier than colored pencils for first-time users to paint. Copics are also more fun than colored pencils because the texture changes depending on the drawing material.

However, Copics are a bit expensive. It is best to collect them without overdoing it.

These devices can also be used for other purposes and have a very high-cost performance.
