Acrylic Markers: Bold, Versatile Surface-Savvy

Acrylic paint markers act like bottled paint with precision control. Their opaque, waterproof formulas stick to wood, rock, glass, fabric, and even plastic—no surface is off-limits! 

Grabie Fine Tip Markers
For those who love to immerse themselves in detailed work, fine tip markers are your best friend! They are perfect for creating technical sketches, intricate patterns, or stunning anime art on fine paper. With tip sizes ranging from 0.5 to 1mm, you can produce precise lines without any bleeding. Check out Grabie’s Extra Fine Tip Sets (with 28 or 48 colors) for your comics and delicate linework—your creativity will flourish!

Grabie Broad Tip Markers
If you’re looking to cover large canvases quickly, broad tip markers are fantastic! Some known as chisel tip markers, these come with edges ranging from 4 to 10mm that can create both bold strokes and sharp lines, ideal for eye-catching posters, signs, or expressive graffiti. Try Grabie Broad Tip set of 12 and watch your canvases, walls, or wood slices explode with color that grabs eyeballs!

Grabie Medium Tip Markers
Medium tip markers strike the perfect balance: broader than fine tips for smooth coloring, yet narrower than broad tips for controlled detail. They’re the good markers for coloring books, sketching, and everyday projects where flexibility matters—layer bold fills and define edges with one tool! Try Grabie’s Medium Tip Acrylic Paint Marker Set of 24: 24 vibrant colors ready to tackle everything from journals to DIY decor with effortless flow!

Grabie Alcohol Based Markers: The Blending Virtuosos

Alcohol markers are the secret weapon for illustrators. Their alcohol-based ink blends seamlessly, layers without streaks, and dries quickly—perfect for skin tones, landscapes, or comics.

🔍 Choosing the Right Markers for Your Project

• Creating Murals, DIY Crafts, or Using Opaque Coverage? → Reach for acrylic markers such as black or white paint markers for effective highlights.  
• llustrations, Comics, or Coloring Books? → Consider using alcohol-based markers or ultra-fine acrylic pens for a smooth finish on fine paper.  
• Looking for Dots, Sparkle, or Metallic Effects? → Dot painting markers, glitter paint markers, and metallic paint markers will bring your vision to life.
