FiveBelow Alcohol Markers
Some more art supplies I got from FiveBelow - this time, it's alcohol makers (or rather two sets of alcohol markers):
FiveBelow's alcohol markers are dual tip (broad/chisel and small round/bullet nibs) and come in either an assorted color pack or neutral colors pack, with each pack containing 12 markers. Combining both packs should give you a grand total of 23 colors (two markers will be black). I say should because one marker was mislabeled - what was supposed to be "mint green" was actually pink, so I have double the amount of pink.
In any case, below is the color breakdown (sans mint green):
One of the cons I find to using these packs is that the label color doesn't always match up well with the ink color (especially the markers from the neutral packs). You will definitely need to make a reference color chart beforehand to keep track of color names.
Other cons to these markers:
the color output is not as super saturated as name brands.
the color name/code is on the side of the marker as opposed to the marker cap. Therefore, upright storage isn't impractical here.
I guess that's what I get for buying cheap in the end. But $10 USD for 24 alcohol markers is a pretty good deal, and these markers are usable - just don't expect them to have quite the same heavy color density output as the more tried-and-true brands (like Copic, LePlume, or Prismacolor) that can cost around 4-5 times as much.
