Curator's pick: Honolulu 36 Gray Tone Colors Dual Tips Alcohol Art Markers
This set solves the common issue of 'muddying' shadows by providing distinct steps between 0 and 100% gray. The brush nibs hold their shape better during long blending sessions than the cheaper alternatives I've tested.
⚠ Worth knowing: These markers will bleed through standard 20lb bond paper almost instantly. Unless you are using the specific bleedproof pad or heavyweight cardstock, you will ruin the pages underneath.
