Alcohol-Based Markers: Smooth Blends, Vivid Colours
Alcohol-based markers are the preferred tool of illustrators, graphic designers and manga artists. Their fast-drying, blendable ink produces smooth gradients and rich, saturated colour on marker paper and cardstock. DeSerres carries a curated selection of alcohol-based markers from leading brands, available in a wide range of colours and tip configurations.
Why Choose Alcohol-Based Markers?
Alcohol-based markers dry quickly and blend seamlessly, making them ideal for rendering, shading and colour layering. Unlike water-based markers, they don't cause paper to buckle and work best on smooth, non-porous surfaces like marker paper or bristol board. They're available in a wide range of tip styles, from fine and brush tips to chisel and broad tips, giving you full control over line weight and coverage. For best results, pair them with refills and accessories from our Marker Accessories & Refills collection, or explore all our Markers & Pens for more options.
