Whether you're a seasoned illustrator, a weekend crafter, or a parent looking for quality art supplies for a budding young artist, choosing the right markers can make or break a project. Our Markers collection features three standout sets — each built for a different creative need. Here's how they compare.
1. Colpart 72 Colors Acrylic Paint Markers – 0.7mm Extra Fine Tip
If precision is your priority, the Colpart 72-colour set is your go-to. The 0.7mm extra fine tip is the narrowest of the three sets reviewed here, making it ideal for intricate detail work — think rock painting, lettering on ceramics, fine line illustration, or adding finishing touches to mixed-media pieces. The opaque, quick-drying, waterproof ink works on wood, canvas, glass, stone, and fabric. With 72 colours, you have a comprehensive palette without the overwhelm of a 120-colour set.
Best for: Detail work, rock painting, lettering, ceramics, beginners who want precision.
Tip size: 0.7mm extra fine
Colours: 72
Ink type: Acrylic, waterproof, quick-drying
Surfaces: Stone, wood, canvas, glass, fabric, ceramic
2. Artecho 120 Colors Acrylic Paint Markers – Dual Tip Brush & Fine
£49.07
The Artecho 120-colour dual tip set is the most versatile acrylic option in the range. Each pen has a 1mm fine tip on one end and a flexible 0.5–5mm brush tip on the other, letting you switch between precise line work and broad, expressive strokes without changing pens. The expanded 120-colour palette covers every shade you could need, and the water-based acrylic ink is quick-drying, waterproof, and long-lasting. A brilliant all-rounder for crafters who want one set that does it all.
Best for: Mixed techniques, crafters who want versatility, large and small-scale projects.
Tip size: 1mm fine + 0.5–5mm brush (dual tip)
Colours: 120
Ink type: Acrylic, waterproof, water-based
Surfaces: Rock, glass, wood, canvas, leather, ceramic, fabric
3. Ohuhu Honolulu Alcohol Markers – 120 Colors Brush & Chisel Dual Tip
£138.72
The Ohuhu Honolulu set is in a different league — these are professional-grade alcohol-based markers designed for illustrators, comic artists, and serious hobbyists. Alcohol ink blends more smoothly than acrylic, making it the preferred choice for gradient work, skin tones, and illustration. The brush tip handles expressive, calligraphic strokes while the wide chisel tip fills large areas fast. 120 fade-resistant colours, colour-coded caps, and a carrying case make this a premium studio tool. Non-toxic and beginner-friendly despite the professional output.
Best for: Illustration, comic art, blending, gradient work, professional artists and serious hobbyists.
Tip size: Brush + chisel (dual tip)
Colours: 120
Ink type: Alcohol-based, fade-resistant, instant-drying
Surfaces: Paper, illustration board, colouring books

Which Set Is Right for You?
The answer comes down to what you're creating and where. If you're painting on rocks, wood, glass, or ceramics and need fine detail, the Colpart 72 is the precision tool for the job. If you want one versatile acrylic set that handles both detail and broad strokes across multiple surfaces, the Artecho 120 dual tip is the best value all-rounder. And if you're serious about illustration, comic art, or achieving professional-grade blends on paper, the Ohuhu Honolulu alcohol markers are worth every penny.
