Artists that need speed and vivid colours will tend to use markers as their medium of choice. The choice of markers or pencil crayons (coloured pencils) is the first choice and an important one, but the decisions do not end there. Once the artist has decided markers, if that is the choice they make, they will then need to decide on they type of marker. There are alcohol and water based liquid ink variations, and the next choice would be to choose from several brands. Each brand has its own pros and cons and each will have to be experimented with unitl the right type is found. It is also possible to mix and match brands as well as water and alcohol markers to find the perfect setup. It is important to note that patience will be needed when using markers of any type as they are unforgiving when mistakes are made. Significant mistakes can cause many artists to give up on an entire piece of work rather than try to correct it. The learning curve is high if the artist is used to other mediums, such as paint, where the layering of of colours is opposite to other mediums.
