new copic ciao pens (while my speccies are sorted)

ive had problems with my beloved spectrum noir pens lately, in that many have run out and i am unable to get refils or the rest of the set until the end of this month. Therefore i have invested in some copic ciao pens. They are very different to colour with, having a larger, more brush like nib, but i think im getting the hang of them.
