"I'm learning KeyShot 3D," industrial designer Burkay Gursoy wrote in an Instagram post, "and I like trying interesting things while learning." Thus he rendered up a fanciful design for a Copic marker with RGB sliders:
Gursoy meant it as a joke, writing:
What's more hilarious is that other design blogs are taking the concept seriously, with one calling it "genius" and saying "it truly solves our woes," with another writing "from full to faded, you can shift the copic marker's red, green and blue sliders to find your perfect color."
I can guarantee none of those writers have ever done a marker rendering. Exactly how do you mix red, green and blue to produce yellow or orange?
RGB, as Gursoy and every designer worth their wages knows, is a technique used for light, not pigments. RGB is how color televisions and monitors work. CMYK and tiny dots is how color printers work.
We should be thankful Gursoy's an ethical guy; if he held a Kickstarter for this concept, he'd likely gain millions in ill-gotten pledges.
I’m a lapsed industrial designer. I was born in NYC and figured I’d die there, but a few years ago I abandoned New York to live on a farm in the countryside with my wife. We have six dogs.

Industrial Designer Creates Concept for Copic Marker with RGB Slider, Design Blogs Don't Understand It's a Joke
It is good joke though...this probably...help us see who is actually industrial designer(or at least have done marker drawing). It might work:) but you would be spend way more money than simply buy some other marker, and it would be too big to handheld comfortable ... Industrial designer don't need the whole color set anyway
Wouldn't fit in the plastic airbrush I need to make the shiny muscles on my Gokus.
Clearly the next step is a CYMK refillable marker. Take my money!
