MayMoi 48-Color Alcohol-Based Art Markers

KNB: For the price and the amount of colors you get, this product is great. However it should be noted that these markers do not blend well with themselves or with other markers and because they aren't true professional markers you have less control over the color pay-off then you would if you were using markers of a better quality. However for a beginner like me who has no interest in actually creating genuine art then this is a great introduction to markers like this.

Emily M.Emily M.: I got these markers bc I was looking for a “skin tone” set but also needed a more variety of regular colors— I thought the price for all these markers & colors was good. I wish I could rate it 3.5 instead of 3.

The problems I had:
- most marker caps do not match its color on paper. Some are very different from what you think it would be
- they bleed A LOT. In my pictures, Starfire (girl on left) was entirely in these markers. Raven (middle girl) was colored w purple from this set & black sharpie. Shego (green & black girl) was ONLY green & black SHARPIES. If I had known these markers bled WORSE than sharpies (which I didn’t even know was possible) I would’ve purchase “no bleed” markers. I fix this by putting something under so the color doesn’t bleed onto the next page of my sketch book.
- some colors you have to work fast with or else there will be an overlap color difference (reference Starfire’s hair)
- finally, the “0” marker is NOT white, but rather “a mixer” marker. For Ravens legs, I realized I used the wrong gray, they were too dark so I used “0” to “blend” and lighten. Reference the...

princess 128princess 128: I really like these and I believe they are definitely worth the price. I especially like that they have true purple markers instead of just assuming you'll mix blue on top of red.
The caps are on very securely, so that's a pro and a con depending on the situation. The brush tips aren't exactly soft like copics, but they work just as well and are very good at fine details as well as filling large areas. The smell is very similar to sharpies, but it's not too much of a problem unless you're very close to your work. They bleed through paper very easily (shown in picture) so if you're working on paper, you'll definitely want something behind it (I use cardboard or cardstock). These play by marker rules meaning you can't move them too fast or else they become streaky and dry. So far they're still working, but my most used marker is starting to have some issues (after 10 pictures). The only other issue is likely user error: if you try to go back in an area where the marker has begun drying you'll see a distinct line if there is any overlap (show in picture). I have remedied this issue by working faster and being more careful if I have to stop at any point during a large...

Sarah M.Sarah M.: My new markers came in 2 days early! I was totes excited to try these especially at $17.99 for 47 colored markers and 1 blending marker. I was kinda iffy trying these out because I couldn't find reviews anywhere but there's always a first time for everything. Onto the review, these were not bad they were pretty nice. I love the many grey options because I was running out the grey shades from my Studio 71 kit. I also love the little marker holder they came in! It made it so easier to move them around to different tables. The marker itself is pretty nice too I like the caps too because placing the caps back on they make a snap sound so I know there on right. The shape of the marker does make it easy to roll around on the desk but it's not really a problem form me since I have a habit of putting markers in the case right after I use them. Holding the marker, it does feel a lot lighter than the Copic marker and a bit lighter than the Studio 71 marker. Now the markers brush tip does feel a bit stiff but still has a soft tip, so not too stiff. So that is based on preference because I don't mind that.
I also tested out the colors with a quick drawing so you could see how they look in...

Barnnies: I have been painting for over 50 years. Two weeks ago I saw a video in Alcohol Markers and order a set. I now have 3 different sets. This set was the lowest cost yet I find it is a good as the other 2 sets which cost way more. The brush end feels like a real brush and the thicker end feel like a highlighter pen feels like. As stated before I have only been using alcohol markers for 2 weeks and have done some nice work with them, the ones I did today with these new markers were fun. I am not connected with the maker or Amazon so I didn't get a free set to try and review, I paid for them like most people. I would recommend these as nothing has gone wrong the first day. I will update this review after I see how long they last and if the look and work the same over time.
