Alcohol Markers

Alcohol markers are markers that use alcohol-based ink. As opposed to water-based markers and solvent markers where the dyes are suspended in water and glycerin, the dyes are suspended in alcohol. Alcohol markers are extremely popular among many professionals including artists, hobbyists, designers, and illustrators due to their diversity and range, blending capabilities, and remarkable streak-free coverage. The use of alcohol makes the color vibrant and the application process smooth.  These markers have a faint smell of rubbing alcohol and are ideal for blending and layering because they produce even, vivid colors. Since alcohol evaporates instantly, it does not ruin the paper.
