Need to keep shaking the marker to keep the paint flowing well and opaque. Needs at least 2 layers to achieve a streakless opaque finish - unless working on a pre-treated page. The more you layer it up, the more satiny-shiny the finish will get so pencils not great. Can also be washed out, need to work quickly and in small increments. Does not wash out as evenly as some other ones. https://amzn.to/4nD2X8Q GuangNa 120 Colors Acrylic Paint Markers, liquid ink brush tip Need to keep shaking the marker to keep the paint flowing well and opaque. Needs at least 2 layers to achieve a streakless opaque finish - unless working on a pre-treated page. Has slightly less shiny finish than Languo similar markers but still get more satiny the more you layer them. Not ideal for pencils but will accept some, no layering. Can also be washed out, need to work quickly and in small increments. Does not wash out as evenly as some other acrylic marker types. If washed out, will accept pencils on top better. https://amzn.to/3TTcniH GuangNa Skin Tones Acrylic Brush Markers,24, liquid ink Same as above except they wash out easier as these are mostly light tones. I have used them washed out directly on the paper as a skin base and it has worked. https://amzn.to/45Piz2z Arrtx Acrylic Markers 90 Colors Good colour selection, slimmer sharper brush, has a good selection of more vibrant tones as well, can be blended direct, even coverage takes several layers. Good for small areas. Does wash out if worked quickly but not as well as some other ones. Takes some pencil on top, the softer the better https://amzn.to/4lfLEsR Arrtx Simptap Acrylic Paint Pens the most opaque ones, paint flow can be regulated to an extent. Possible to create a flat opaque area with one or two layers. Will accept a little bit of soft pencil but not really recommended. https://amzn.to/4l5RCwn 60 Colors Dual Tip Acrylic Paint Markers, Dot & Fine Tip Good for washing out with water brush, juicy, a lot of pastel and muted tones. Lovely for washed out backgrounds or washed out bases for pencils. https://amzn.to/3V1UsH5 TEMU LINKS Languo ribbed foam core markers Not my favourites any more but pencils work on top of these OK-ish as the ink/paint is thinner and fairly matte https://share.temu.com/VGTT8PFGr0A GuangNa 120 Color Dual-Ended Acrylic Marker Set I like these, they blend with each other really well and also dissolve with water OK (as usual, need to work fast and small increments). The paint is not very opaque but not utterly anemic either. https://share.temu.com/M7eSVCJ2soA 72-set Dual Tip Acrylic Paint Markers with Fine Tip and Dot Tip Good for washing out with water brush, juicy, a lot of pastel and muted tones.
