The grown-up side of Crayola. I use these markers to make drawings in my sketchbooks or on heavy paper. They have a brush tip on one end and a fine tip on the other – known as “dual-tip markers” or brush pens. They're perfect for sketching, drawing, journaling, lettering or adding decorative elements to a page. You can also achieve some watercolor-like effects by going back into your marker drawings with a wet brush. I love that these are inexpensive enough to experiment without fear of wasting money.
