Built for illustrators and hobbyists who need professional-grade color blending without the high cost of refillable premium brands. Not for professional architects requiring exact archival permanence — this shop focuses on high-pigment alcohol ink performance.
This set strikes the right balance between color variety and storage space, featuring a brush tip that doesn't fray after heavy use like cheaper alternatives. The 120-count provides enough gradients for skin tones and landscapes without the redundancy found in the larger 320-piece sets.
⚠ Worth knowing: These markers bleed through standard printer paper and even some thin sketchbooks instantly. You must use dedicated heavy-weight marker paper or a silicone bleed-proof mat behind your page to avoid ruining your desk surface.

How to use this together
1
Start with a Base Layer
Begin by laying down your lightest colors using the Honolulu 120 Colors Dual Tips to establish your base. The brush tip is excellent for smooth coverage on larger areas, while the chisel tip can define initial shapes. This sets the foundation for your blending.
2
Add Mid-Tones and Blend
Introduce your mid-tone colors, blending them into the base layer while still wet for seamless transitions. For finer details and more controlled blending, utilize the Honolulu Plus Series Supreme Rubber Brush Tip Markers, as their superior control helps achieve smoother gradients.
3
Define Details and Outlines
Switch to the Oahu Series Dual Tips, specifically the fine tip, for intricate details, sharp edges, and precise linework. This step adds definition and crispness to your artwork, making sure small elements stand out effectively.
4
Fill Large Areas Efficiently
For backgrounds or large color blocks, use the Molokai Series Extra Large Nib Dual Tip Markers. Their broad nib allows for quick and even application over significant surfaces, saving time and ensuring consistent color without streaks.
5
Consider Portability for On-the-Go
If you plan to work outside your studio, pack the Nalu Series Mini Alcohol Markers Travel Coloring Kit. Its compact size ensures you have a selection of colors for sketching or quick projects wherever inspiration strikes, preventing creative blocks on the go.
