Markers for Drawing & Illustration: The Ultimate Guide

Markers are one of the most versatile tools in an artist’s kit. Whether you’re sketching concepts, designing detailed illustrations or adding bold pops of colour to your work, the right markers can elevate your art. But with so many choices—alcohol-based vs. water-based, brush tips vs. chisel tips, student-grade vs. pro-level markers—it can be tricky to know where to start. This guide will walk you through the different types of markers, the best brands for artists and tips to help you choose the perfect set for your creative style.

Types of Markers and Their Uses

Alcohol-Based vs. Water-Based Markers

Not all markers are created equal, and the type of ink they use makes a huge difference in how they perform.

  • Alcohol-based markers are a go-to for professional artists, illustrators and designers because they layer smoothly, dry fast and create seamless blends. Their vibrant, permanent colours make them ideal for comic art, fashion sketches and realistic shading. If that’s your style, check out Copic Sketch Markers or Winsor & Newton Promarkers.
  • Water-based markers are more beginner-friendly, budget-friendly and easier to control. They don’t bleed as much as alcohol markers, making them great for sketchbooks, bullet journaling and mixed media. If you love soft, watercolour effects, try Talens Ecoline Watercolour Brush Pens or Faber-Castell Pitt Artist Pens.

  So, which is better? If you want smooth blending, bold colours and a professional finish, alcohol markers are the way to go. But if you prefer controlled ink flow, softer blends and a more affordable option, water-based markers are a fantastic choice.

Brush Tip vs. Chisel Tip vs. Fine Tip Markers

The tip shape of your marker makes a huge difference in how you apply colour.

  Some markers, like the Copic Sketch Marker Mini Pale Pastel Set, come with dual tips—a brush tip on one end and a chisel tip on the other, giving you the best of both worlds.

Popular Brands and Their Features

Copic Markers: The Gold Standard for Artists

Ask any professional illustrator or designer, and chances are they’ll swear by Copic markers. These alcohol-based, refillable markers are known for their incredible blending ability, smooth ink flow and long-lasting quality.  

  One of the best things about Copics? They’re refillable, so instead of throwing them away when they run out, you just top up the ink and keep creating.

Winsor & Newton: A Solid Alternative

If you’re looking for high-quality alcohol markers at a slightly lower price, Winsor & Newton Brushmarkersare a great alternative. They offer vibrant colours, smooth blending and a flexible brush tip that makes layering a breeze.

Faber-Castell & Other Top Brands

For artists who prefer water-based markers, Faber-Castell Pitt Artist Pensare a fantastic option. These pigment-based, waterproof pens are perfect for sketching, outlining and mixed media work.   Other popular options include:

How to Choose the Right Markers for Your Art Style

Blending & Layering Tips

  • Use alcohol markers for smooth, streak-free blending. Start with a light base, add darker tones, and then use a colourless blender like Copic Sketch Marker Set 12 to soften the edges.
  • For water-based markers, use watercolour paper. The Winsor & Newton Watercolour Markers blend beautifully when paired with the right surface.
  • Build up the colour gradually. Don’t oversaturate the paper—let layers dry before adding more to avoid streaks.

  If you're working on large areas, go for chisel tip markers like Posca Paint Markers Extra Broad (PC-17K) for quick, even coverage. For tiny details, STAEDTLER Triplus Finelinersgive you pinpoint precision without bleeding.
