Built for illustrators who need to replace high-use mid-tones without rebuying an entire 120-count palette. Not for hobbyists looking for cheap water-based sets — this shop focuses on professional-grade alcohol ink permanence.
The ability to buy the BG041 solo is the real win here; it’s a heavy-use blending shade that usually runs dry months before the rest of the set. The chisel nib holds its edge longer than the brush variants, making it better for blocking in large backgrounds without streaking.
⚠ Worth knowing: These markers bleed through standard sketchpad paper immediately. Unless you are using the specific 120lb spiral-bound marker pads or a silicone barrier sheet, the ink will ruin the next three pages of your notebook.
