Art Supply Review: Crelando 36 Sketchmarker Set

Sometimes Ads on Apps are helpful because they showed me that Lidl had Alcohol Markers and i was like WHAAAAAAT!? I had to get them but first research!

But i only could find a Youtube Video that is in polish, and sadly i don´t speak polish (here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFa-r84r0VI ) .

I still watched it muted to see how they will look when you use this Markers. And they looked promising. Also they are super cheap, it was a no brainer.

German Price: 8,99 €

So lets see how i think this Markers work, after they arrived at my home.

The Box they came in is pretty sturdy and has three separate compartments for the Markers to rest in.

I sorted them by number( This set has 35 Markers + Colorless Blender)

They have a Brush and a Chisel Tip, But only the Chisel Side has the Number and Color name printed on the cap. The Brush tip has a triangle symbol on it.

First i tested them in my mixed media sketchbook, the chisel side was a bit dry compared to the brush side but i guess its because the markers where stored upright and not on the side like recommended. Over time i think this will become not a problem anymore.

The range of colors is pretty mediocre, a few more yellows would be nice and it really needs more midtones in general. Skin Tones are not really possible.

Then i grabbed my Ohuhu Marker Sketchbook, swatched again and also did a blending test. they blend pretty good so it is really a shame that their are not enough midtones to use. i use the tip to tip method to get a better range of colors. The colors are also way more vibrant on this paper.

Result: They are good Markers for beginners because the Brush and Chisel Tip are very good for this price point and better as some from other cheap brands.

You also could use them for backgrounds or flat colors befor you use your better markers over them. I can recommend them.

I think i will use them for sketching so i cansave my Ohuhu markers for serious artworks.

All in all i hope this little review was helpful, i might do more in the future :)
